I hope this is a genuine statement because it's a challenge to rev e9x enough in normal DD driving conditions to unleash/enjoy the potential

Very generic review, all cars in Australia are expensive, a zr1 costs 300k for reference while a civic around 30k
The guys says there arent many m badges, look around , it has just as many badges as an m car

Average wealth of an Australian adult... $225k USD. The Aussies pay out the ass in tax and cost of living is 30% higher, but damn if they aren't well compensated... Aussie dollar is almost equivalent to the USD. |

The pricing of luxury cars doesn't have anything to do average wealth. High average wealth certainly does not mean $79k for M235i isn't expensive. It costs essentially the same to manufacture for both US and Australia markets. The only difference is in the taxes, dealer cost (labor and infrastructure), and marketing in the country in question. I didn't do any research on this, but I doubt the differences in cost to sell in Australia make up the premium in pricing. Bottom line, the pricing does not have much to do with average wealth. If you want evidence, just take a look at the pricing of luxury cars in China, Singapore, and other Asian countries.

It is genuine. There is so much low down shove from the engine.
