Thks, Leica. BMW.SG is a surprise and pleasant find for me. Glad to be part of the community. In case any of you are planning on getting the 523i, the following are the discounts I received.
Trade in Toyota Harrier (2004): 50k
Overtrade: 11k (the salesman initially offered only 7k. Raised it to 11k to sweeten the deal when I was still not biting)
I will also be getting refund on the balance of my existing road tax and $1000 vouchers that can be used towards servicing of the new car.
I have a feeling that I could have gotten more discounts if I persisted. Anyway, hope the above info can help someone out there get even more discounts. cheers!

That's true....
Looking at local conditions:
COE is one major contributing factor...mid-long term....that's just gonna shrinnk!!..translating to higher COE prices, the cost of buying a new car will rise higher and higher....so OMV becomes less of a contributing factor....
Looking at global conditions:
Euro is expected to remain weak for mid-term outlook...so companies invested in Euro will find it less and less attractive to remain in Euro....so look at where BMW is heading....the China market and the BMW plants in China...once China re-values its currency...makes economic sense to make China the primary supplier to the world
...so those with current batches of BMWs...hang-on to them...in time to come...no more made in germany, usa, southafrica...
...that's my prediction...
And..yes....enjoy the ride!!

Don't know whether I will be getting any 30% vouchers still. Have not collected the car yet. On the point of PI becoming a more viable option, I thought one of the major setback of buying from PI is that they may not have the computerised equipment to do more advanced diagnostics if our cars have any major problems? Volvo salesman told me that if I buy from PI and my car has more serious problem in the future which needs service at authorised dealer, I will be charged an adoption fee. 15k for Cycle n Carriage and 7k for S M Motors. Not sure what is adoption fee for PML.
