I hope that you forward this e-mail to Mr. Geoffrey Briscoe so that when the issue of pricing the F30 comes up, BMW Malaysia takes into account enthusiast like me and passes on the benefit of the lower import duty for a 2 liter car to the consumer and protect us from profiteering by the dealers. Many thanks." This in the reply:- "Thank you for sharing your passion for the BMW brand with us. The price premises for the new BMW 3 Series is still not released yet, but we do expect to see some reduction in import and excise duties, due to the lower engine capacity tax bracket of the new 2.0-litre turbocharged engine. We will certainly aim to price the car competitively within the marketplace and we appreciate your unwavering support in the future." Well lets keep our fingers crossed at thier 2.0T pricing. If its similar to the 320d at RM255k, it would be fabulous.</blockquote>
