    I think its ridiculous how they work out the tax, my 2.0t would only be £15 a year cheaper than an e60 550i, yet £200 more than yours.

    Yep, that 1g of co2 adds another £200.

    and checking again, its in the same class as the 550! Yep an 1800kg car with a 4.8V8 is the same to tax a year as an auto v50t5 lol
