vehicle registartion tax depending on CO2 emissions, since 135i is not a very economical car the gap between UK and Irish prices is huge for some low emission diesel it would be much smaller. For 188 CO2 it's 28% of vehicle value! The lowest is 14%!

Don't even get me started on annual road tax on top of that!

UK market has been overpriced for decades at least. I recall Photoshop v4 (approx mid 90s) having the same price tag but just a £ instead of a $ rather than being the equivalent price.

If you think it's expensive here you should see what everything costs in Norway! £9 for 300ml of beer
But they get decent wages!

Everything is expensive here compared to the wages we get.

But I also find there is a GTI tax on most tuning parts as other marques get the equivalent mods for much less

I lived in Singapore from 2000-2002 and it was £9 a Pint back then, however if you drove over the border to Johor Bahru you could pick up 10 cases on the cheapa case of 24 cans for £12

I looked at buying a car when I was there, had £30k (GBP) in my account and all I could afford was a 1.0 Fiat Punto (Cars are STUPIDLY EXPENSIVE over there), bought a YZF R-1 instead for 9K as Bike prices were almost the same as UK Bike Prices
