I can say after serving the Military over 32 years all of my BMWs was purchase through the Military Car Sales Program which I save about 10k per vehicle due to not paying sales tax or property tax, and getting the cars at Manufactory Suggested Price. Currently my F85 X5M, I had to pay full price at $115k. Retire from Military now so I don't get those breaks Overseas anymore. Currently in South Korea, as Government employee and I now qualify for those break I had as a Army Officer. The new F90 M5 will cost me around $115-$125k after I put all the options I want. I feel Manufactory Suggested Price will be around $112k. I just budget for it, 10% each month. Yes, Married with two kids.  |
Thanks for serving. I think Dinan-m is not far off the mark. If you can save 10% of ~$100K per month, you gotta be hitting at least $200K+ per year which would put you well above top 5% income of US population per last census and IRS data
