SUMMARY
The BMW 5 Series costs approximately 350,000 ringgit (USD 100,000) in Malaysia, significantly higher than its price range of USD 40,000 to USD 57,000 in the USA. This price disparity is largely due to Malaysia's 200% tax on imported vehicles, aimed at protecting local manufacturers. In contrast, luxury cars in the US typically start around USD 30,000, making them more accessible to the average consumer. The discussion highlights the economic implications of high tariffs on car ownership in Malaysia compared to the US market.
