That will be another car to add to my list "not to buy!"

Build quality of these cars is very high for the most part.

After new taxes were introduced X5 shot to nearly 10 mil. Why X3 is so much cheaper - at least twice?

Does anyone know if the engines are made locally or imported?

Because it's 'made' here.

Still, 3.5 mil is how much BMW 323 cost. X3 should be subjected to a higher, SUV tax, even if they share the same engine.
