USA: 335i = $38,900 (+ all the extras/on roads I guess). Converted to Australian = $42,000

AUS: 335i = $108,900 (+ all the extras/on roads)

Thats a difference of $67,000. Now luxury car tax, and all the other stuff can't add up to that much?
got to do with all the taxes the goverment puts on imported cars i think to give holden/ford a chance. tariff i think its called.
correct me if im wrong

Thats right, but nearly 3 times the value of the car in the USA is a bit steep for any tariffs.

The 135i is incomparable to anything in the Audi range though, apart from the S5...but I think that costs way more anyway.
