BMW 335i : 4957 € to hit the road and then 1200 € / year ...

plus when its a professional leasing you pay extra taxes for CO2 ...

Otherwise i think you would see a lot more 328 and 335 in Belgium, but those taxes are simply prohibitive. Thats why this Z4 makes sense. Aerokit is just for the looks, thats all!

Even worse here And fuel prices have gone up today, as of today we pay 21% VAT

I don't get all the comments on the 2ltr engine. A few weeks ago I was out of curiousity looking at used Audi A4 Avants (max 2yr old), most of them that came up in the search had 1.8ltr engines in them with just 120HP, now is that a joke or what?
