Well, we here in europe also have laws preventing us from doing stuff to our cars.
Here in denmark where I live, it's NOT allowed to remove the DPF. It's NOT allowed to tune more than 20% on the engine without getting it tested at the authorities. If you get the car through the authorities, they wait on the other side with a BIG bill to pay since the car has changed identity and you have to pay more in tax...

If I get busted for my cars specs as they are now, I will be fined way into hell!!! and by no means allowed to drive on......:-(
But I take my chances....
And then we have the prices on the cars which is horrible. I had to pay approx $60.000 for a 330dA, 5 years old and with 167.000km on the clock....
Here in Denmark my car, as new, with the factory fitted equipment would cost me aprox $170.000
In comparison the new 435i is estimated a basic starting price at danish kroner (dkk)860.000 which is the same as $149.300......
The horrible prices is special for Denmark though....
Add to that the price of the fuel.....almost $2/liter.....

Just to tell you that we also have our challenges here in Europe.... ;-)
