Munich - Different markets, different prices: It is the rule that products in different countries do not cost the same money.
This is all the more true for cars: These are high-priced goods and, in addition to the purchase price, there are additional costs depending on the region, such as taxes, customs, or transport.
Meanwhile, Milka even becomes suspicious of using dishonest methods.
BMW special model M5 CS: Price in the USA much lower than on the domestic continent
With the recently presented
BMW M5 CS
, there is a striking
price difference
: BMW fans in Europe have to dig much deeper for the sporty special model than like-minded people in the USA.
In the German homeland, there is the 635 hp vehicle
to buy for
180,400 euros
.
That is a proud sum, but for customers in neighboring France it will be even more expensive: Here the
M5 CS is
estimated
at
199,900 euros
in the price list
.
So why is the sport version of the sport version (the M5 is the most powerful model in the 5 series) even more expensive in France?
Climate protection is likely to be a decisive factor: in 2020,
registration taxes
for fuel-intensive vehicles were increased significantly
in the neighboring country
.
For cars that have CO2 emissions of more
than
212 grams per kilometer,
surcharges of up to 20,000 euros are
due.
This is also the case with the sporty
BMW M5 CS
, whose values are higher (249-254 g / km according to the manufacturer).

BMW fans will soon be able to put a particularly sporty version of the M5 racing car in the garage.

Fans of the traditional Bavarian brand in the USA can only smile at
these
new car
prices: BMW is offering the same vehicle for significantly less money there: the elegant
special model is
already available
overseas
for 142,000 US dollars.
The difference becomes clearer when you convert the amount: The lightning-fast sports car (0 - 100 km / h in 3.0 seconds) is available in the United States from around
117,000 euros
.
BMW M5 CS: Sporty special model in Europe almost twice as expensive as in the USA
As
Motor1
explains, there is
no difference
in the
technical data
between the respective versions.
It is the same
BMW model
in both Europe and the USA
- only that a Frenchman invests almost twice as much money for it.
It
is not uncommon that
the
prices for German cars
on the attractive US market are
significantly lower than at home:
BMW
,
VW
and
Mercedes
have been able to break sales records in North America for many years
with low-priced new car offers
- hardly with a “European” pricing policy imaginable.
That the difference is
so clear
in the case of the
BMW M5 CS
seems surprising.
The
market launch
of the new "Bimmer" edition is scheduled for the spring of the way 2,021th
The US market has long been extremely important to the German auto industry.
BMW's
largest production site is located in Spartanburg (South Carolina)
