If only it were that simple... Anyway, the savings stated presumably relate to savings on the US dealer price. I live in the UK and saved GBP 5K on my (other premium German brand) GBP 40K (in UK) car by buying it in Germany. Saved less than expected because in meantime price for RHD was raised in Germany and UK prices were reduced. Might have been able to save more by buying in Denmark which, in general, has lower pre-tax prices than many other EU countries. Was too much hassle.
