BMW Individual Sunburst Gold, Tramonto Bordeaux, Purple Silk & More at Munich Dealer

[Dackelone]

I paid a visit to one of my favorite places in München: BMW's Niederlassung München Hauptbetrieb. It's just up the street from the Welt and they always have some of the best Individual program cars on display there. Have a look for yourself.


Enjoy,

Can someone explain the logic behind selling the same car for 20-30% more in Germany than it costs in US?

A car has a certain production cost to the manufacturer, it's X. If BMW can sell an M3 for 50k USD in US, it means they are able to make profit. Whether they sell the same car in US or Germany, its irrelevant, because all cars are made in Germany. So why do they charge so much more in Germany? Not only they charge in Euros, but they also charge a lot more in Euros.

I know the whole tax argument and I don't think even without the tax the prices line up.

As for the taxes, I never understood european politics. By taxing these cars at such high levels, they prevent people from buying them, hence in the long run this hurts their own economy. The US is where it is because its a consumption based economy where they keep the prices at an "affordable" level. If a 100k car is taxed at 7% in US, yes maybe its 1/4th of what a European government makes on the car, but because in the US many more people are able to afford the car, the government ends up getting more tax cumulatively.

The prices I see in these cars are just jaw dropping. 100k Euros for an M3? That's like 136k! You can buy 2 M3s for that price (most would buy a 911 instead).

It's called communism........ ooops, sorry, I meant Europeanism


And Germany is cheap compared to some other EU countries.



Oh, and I love that gold M3

[Semi-Poor]

I would rock the gold M3 in a heartbeat.

[esquire]

Wow. The gold and purple are both terrible. And the word "silk" should be banned from the BMW lexicon. wtf.

Yup +1

Well it hits BMW slowly as I posted here: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showpo...6&postcount=26

But they won't change anything as now China and US are the preferred markets.

I didn't realize the Competition Package was offered on the M6 convertible too.

[Luminor513]

Wow the gold M3 is terrible. The purple 6GC and burgundy 7 series are not my taste, but are not as bad as the M3. All the other cars are awesome as usual. Personally, I'll take the Singapore grey M5.

[Pure]

Dack,

Thanks for the pictures !

Do a great job done.

That M6 Black Sapphire confused him with Sophisto Grey.

It is always nice car more special.

The M3 Sunburst Gold seems very ugly.

[Sinof]

Is the purple on the 6 GC Mora? love it!

And yes you can call it communism here. What a stupid bunch of politicians we have here, only caring for those who don't want to work and annoying the people who make money!

The 6er GC was Techno Violet - I believe. ? Some colors are really hard to pin point the official color name. I did not take a picture of that 6er GC build sheet, sorry.

The 7er was... Tramonto Bordeaux Metallic. I took the bellow pics earlier this year at the same dealership.

[pmeloche]

Great pictures. The 5GT is still not good looking. To each his own but I like the Bordeaux Metallic color for the 730d, and at 111,000 euros it's a steal compared to the 160,000 euros asked for an M6 Convertible.
