That I'm much poorer than alpina? 2) Which is why I wonder whether slashing 20% will awaken the urge for ppl to buy suv in the first place..... they reckon it can pull sales from ppl lookin for rm300k cars, but at that price, I think ppl would prefer E200k or 523i.

Bottom line its 20% off... 2) Talk of worrying about fuel consumption when if ur buying a RM400k SUV is b#llsh%t. Anyone who does should have their @ss kicked for considering a RM400k SUV in the 1st place. 3) Depreciation of car value is also relative; Economics 101 my friends, supply and demand. It really doesn't matter what brand it is, it's all about the demand for the particular model. Take for instance the 7th gen. Civic vs. the 6th gen Civic (EK). Everyone knows that the later held a better value at resale due to demand. Please lar, most of you talk through the hole where you poop.
