Check out this Australian AW M135i for sale

For the Aussie forum members' interest.

This is a pretty darn good price considering the kms!

Makes me worried about what mine will be worth in a year...

That's why you should always negotiate a guaranteed buy back

Because we have very high import tax on cars comparing to other countries, trying to protect our local car manufacture industry, like Holden and Ford made in Australia.

Compared to SOME other countries. In some other countries, we have significantly more expensive cars than Australia, even though we have no car industry to protect. Norway and Denmark comes to mind.

Seriously, are only big engines high-taxed or all of them?
Maybe it has point since Norway is third on the list of countries by GDP per capita..

Cars are taxed based on power, weight and pollution. Basically cars with small engines are expensive, and cars with big engines are very expensive. We can still afford to buy cars, but powerful cars like M135i are very rare.

Just my opinion, but its missing the all important M-adaptive suspension. Don't Mistake m-sport suspension for m-adaptive...

The spec is nothing special, and the price is about right what I reckon a dealer would ask as a ticket price. But you ought to be able to buy a car with this spec, near new, for less than $70k

True, it's a rip-off - aside from the roof and pro nav the listed 'options' were standard on that M135i anyway.

Now the 8AT and nav are free, the RRP driveaway before any discount on a car with that spec is around $74K.

I was clearly ripped off by BMW Australia on mine, as it was before the massive price reduction. Fuckers. Really not happy with them about that, and this may well be my last BMW.

I share your luck there, but then again, I didn't have to rush out and buy a new model so soon after its release. I love it to bits, and it is still a lot of car for the money.

C'est la vie.

Cool

I'll join the club, I am extremely p@$$ed off with BMW Australia and a certain dealer at the moment! I'll have to zip my lips for now as its ongoing, but to say they've done some brand damage in my eyes is a major, major understatement. That whole fuzzy new car feeling has been successfully destroyed by them...

Frustration shared here, little interest in mine except for a couple of low 50 offers.

I'm afraid I'm in this unfortunate club too. BMW Aus have lost me as a new car customer. Pricks

On the other hand, BMW gained me as a new M135i owner with this recent price drop!

I think a price drop on our cars is generally a good thing, of course with a few exceptions. It would be wrong to hold that against the dealers.
