LOL, Tats. :D

Haven't been there either. But how about Xgames? This looks interesting: http://www.xgames.eu/de/?s=08-0&id=118
If you've been there, please let us know if it was worth a visit. Cheers.

having lived in germany for almost 2 years now.  my experience is everything here (and europe for that matter) is much pricier compared to the states.  not sure if its the weak dollar, the tax system, high cost of living, or a mix of all of it, but unless its something you absolutely will never see again, it can be had for less through the internet or back in the states

And yes Europe is pricier.

19% tax or whatever insane amount it is that's built into the price doesn't help either.

Yeah but dont Europeans get like 4-6 weeks vacation a year etc?  From what Ive heard, Europeans dont get as much "stuff" as we do in America but they live happier and simpler lives.  I wonder if they need any BMW mechanics in Germany... :-k

Well, from what I've heard you can get your work beer from vending machines at BMW Dingolfing. Does that sound tempting?

Haha perhaps!  Though Im really a Coca Cola addict and apparently Coke is expensive everywhere else in the world but America...  Maybe because they use real sugar everywhere else..

UK sales tax is 20%. I get 5 weeks and 2 days paid holiday. And cola is not expensive! Pepsi and coke are always on offer in the local supermarket 4 litres for £2 or so. Or 16 330ml cans for £4-£5.

Ive also heard that cars and petrol are much more costly in Europe... But then again they got all the cool cars that we didnt...  Like these...  They never sold BMW e30 tourings in the states which makes me a sad puppy... Apparently Canadia got them but we didnt :(

Guy I used to work with has an e34 touring from 1989 still going strong. Petrol is £1.27 for a litre ($8.17 per us gallon) diesel is about £1.32 a litre (about $8.5 per us gallon)

wildfruit is right.  coke is actually fairly cheap here.  gas will cost you a vital organ (hope you have 2)
