My sister in law lived in Singapore for several years. When we went and visited, we met a friend of hers who owned a top end 7 series BMW. She told me that the excise taxes + related duties on the BMW totaled about 250%. So, the car we were sitting in cost her the equivalent of about half a million US dollars. On top of that, each mile was metered at a high rate and there were annual taxes levied. ****ing insane.
