Thanks.

Wow - you get so many options there.
We only get about 6-12 things in total we can option, depending on the model. (extended leather, alarm, ivory package, TV, multistack CD/DVD, and wheel choices - plus a few more on the 30 and 35i)

Eg we cant buy one here without heated seats (even in 40degC+ NOrth Queensland) and all the models you get in the US came standard here with iDrive/nav/middlespec audio/PDC/etc/etc/etc. ONly the 23i can be bought without iDrive. Its not even a delete option.
This is helping to explain (to me) why it is $50-$70K there and $110-$130K+ here.
Given the taxes are high as well, they just dont want this car to be "affordable" over here for some reason...
