New M5 is 210.000 € , it climbs up to 260.000 € with some nice options, so it gives you an idea how much can a 650i GC cost here in Turkey !!

Crazy , isnt it?

Sure if we had those cheap prices here , everyone would drive either Maserati or Ferrari here , for sure
yes i totally agree. here in turkey nearly all the bmw 3 series that are sold are either 316i's or 320d's. The government issues a lot of tax, which makes you buy a cheaper car for the money you have. For example, my friend bought the 520d instead of a 550i because of the turkish variation of the gas guzzler tax. Basically in here they charge 3 different taxes; VAT,Tax depending on engine block size and "Personal Vehicle Tax". apparently BMW had low sales after the raise on the PTVFamily Guy
