For comparison sake, you can get a BMW 218i in Germany for 27.650,00 € or a Honda Civic with a 1.8L engine (a lesser car, IMO) for 23.390,00 € (including a 19% value added tax that isn't charged on exports or for American service members in Germany). Without VAT, that would be 22,396 € for the 218i (~$25K at current exchange rates).
In the USA, the 2 series smallest engine is a 2.8L and that model starts at $34,850 (
plus local sales tax and excise taxes), or about $37K with a 6% tax.
