Most of Europe has 2 years warranty, that's it. I paid 10000 euros for 6 years of warranty + maintenance.
I am in Europe and got 2 year warranty (can be extended up to 6 years or 200,000km) and 5 years/100,000km free service.

When I bought the F15 in November I got a big discount from the price and a BMW keychain. For Christmas they sent me 2 BMW 2015 Wall Calendars.

For my F10 in '10 I got a BMW Led flashlight, which by the way is awesome. I am still using it.

I didn't get anything for my E91 in '08.

Got a blanket when picking up the car.
Guess it's good to have in case the car stops somewhere in the wild when it's -20 C.

Then it's much worse.

Does that include the S$30,000 for registration?

Yes, that's all in the additional taxes. And it's no longer at $30,000... It's now hovering at S$75,000

Yikes

I was just in SIN about 6 months ago and love it there. Can't afford it and could never travel there privately, but thankfully I have customers there and my company pays the bills. None of our local sales employees have cars there either - only allowances of S$500/month for taxis - which I find very reasonably priced.

Not sure I would own a car there unless my income was VERY large...

I reckon in situations like these, BMW *and* the bank should be sending the buyer a truckload of car goodies for every purchase!
Wobbles I only took a 36 month loan with 50% down when I purchased, it's crazy to hear what guys pay overseas. I feel bad, I truly do! If I could, I would start sending new cars to you guys at a normal price! I'm sure that will get me in trouble, but I feel bad you guys pay 1-2 times more for the same vehicle.

Thanks Joe! But I think I'd have problems trying to drive Left-Hand on the wrong side of the road . I personally don't take anything more than a year or two for car purchases - it's a depreciating asset, and in my very humble opinion, I really rather only buy what I can afford to pay.

The year or two of loan I do end up taking is to help pad up the commission that my salesperson will end up taking home (she provided us with excellent service, and it's only fair).

This has almost happened to many members due to the coding thread, haha .

We haven't received anything yet. With previous cars, the gifts showed up 3-4 months after the anniversary. We got our X5 in Nov '13, so I'm not expecting to see anything for a couple of more months.
