Excellent forum - thanks for letting me in

I have been reading these threads on the cost of a tricked up BMW in the USA and it is bringing tears to my eyes. They almost seem free.

I recently ordered my M540i and taking it up on a commercial hire purchase deal.

Purchase price is $150,026.99
Deposit paid at time of order was $5,000.00
10% balloon (final payment) of $14,500

This all works out to
59 payments of $2,595 pm
1 final payment of $14,500 - but at the end of the deal the car is mine and able to use to trade into a new car (making the new purchase less expensive) or just drive it till it drops by handing it over to the kids and buy a new one.

I read on here you guys in the USA have monthly leasing costs of $500... we cant but a POS Toyota here for that.

I hope to collect the car late Jan 19 and the car is optioned

So, it has a bit in it but this car in the USA (taking into account exchange rates), would be $100K tops I would think.

Here Tax on new cars is high too, included in the $150,000 purchase price cost we pay
$17,000 Luxury Car Tax
$7,300 Stamp duty
$11,300 GST
$3,000 in other mic fees

Cant wait for the car to get here - happy to post some pics when the car arrives if any one is interested.

Love to see some pics of the rear seat climate controls if anyone out there has the 4 Zone air. is it just a dial or a colour touch screen like the climate is in the front. Also I would like to know if I would be able to adjust rear seat temperatures and settings from the front if possible and lock the young kids out from playing with them.

Thanks in anticipation of any replies.
