Just joking la.

Its not easy to get it done cos of many procedures we need to get around the lta before we get to drive it on singapore road.

We need to be able to pass emission test and other inspection by lta and nea, bla lba lba.
The paper work is massive i think, that's why so many authorised dealers dun want to bring in all their manufacturer's model in unless they are convinced that the model can sell well.

Perhaps you can try asking PML or other PIs our bros out here can introduce...

Price wise, i think it should be very close to our regular 5er if they manage to get it in
