2004 Mercedes G500 Black
Holy cow...isn't that almost $10K more than the C32?? If these prices are right, then the C55 will be the most expensive in it's class (among S4, M3, CTS-V). I guess these upgrades don't come for free!

here in Bahrain, european cars are way too expensive. We also only pay 5% customs tax.
The problem is that our currency is pegged to the US dollar, and right now, it aint doin too well against the EURO!
These are the latest prices as per my visits yesterday to the dealers.
BMW E46 M3 (SMGII)
19 inch wheels
Laguna Seca Blue
$ 76,923.00
Mercedes Benz W203 C55 AMG
18 inch wheels
Brilliant Silver
$ 71,618.00

Mercedes Price
Mercedes has always been the highest price among bmw and audi. M3 is retailed at 38k pound in uk and C32 is 44k pound. Even a SMG is under 40k pound.
My place has probably the highest car price in the world. I paid around US$178,000 for my parallel imported C32. An official import is around US$208,000. All our cars here are imported, so all are subjected to the same custom tax and duties.

a fully loaded M3 SMGII actually costs a little more than the fully loaded C32 in the states.
also, in Taiwan, the M3 cost/base around $3.3 million Taiwanese dollar while the C32 cost around $2.9-3.0 mil. That's about $94k for the M3 and $85k for the C32 in US dollars.

Over my place C32 and M3 SMG is going at the same price. All distributors here are required to declare their car cost before tax. C32 is 10% higher than M3.
Although most BMWs are generally cheaper than a equivalent MB here, MB is still the top seller. Guess people here prefers MB
