I would bet if you could get folks to supply their own cars (as the dealers likely won't do this) you might be able to solicit BMW to provide the instruction. Sort of like a track day with BMW Instructors.
No, it's only 3.7km long, not a proper F1 circuit.

It's actually not that bad if you go early morning or late at night and try to stick to your lane. It's still manageable, but yes I do agree people like to cross the double yellow and that we need to watch out for.

World Economy bro.... Trade balances/ deficits... currency differences.. local tariffs... all affect vehicle pricing in different countries.

it's not a matter of looking at just the currency exchange rate..

No, but black is less popular on small cars. 90% of S class in Taiwan are all in black.
I was in Taipei at NTU for new years 2015, such a beautiful city. I noticed many beautiful cars especially around Taipei 101. Outside the city is breathtaking I visited couple of Buddhist temples. Taiwanese are passionate about cars and fashion, and they like foreigners a lot , I really enjoyed it there

I was aware of this meet (saw on FB group), was really hoping to see more modded M2s, I remember the past 1er meets where there was so many heavily modded cars.

Import tax. That's not even that bad considering a base honda civic costs around 135k USD in singapore.
Wow! That's crazy. I didn't realize it was so high...

Slightly over 200 M2's sold here with more to come as there are still people on the waiting list...

It's a very popular car I guess for its size and performance. M2's here cost like US$ 110K and in other parts of Asia like China, Thailand etc... they cost even more.
USD 110k?!

110k is still ok. In Malaysia it is 118k
That's insane...
