The Netherlands:

• BTW = "Belasting Toegevoegde Waarde" = Value Added Tax (VAT);
• BPM = "Belasting van Personenauto's en Motorrijtuigen" = Tax on Cars and Motor vehicles (environmental tax calculated on the basis of net catalogue value + CO2 value).

Now what the papers said (see this video @ 02:49):

• Price specified vehicle:
• Net price without BTW/BPM: €91,296.39
• BTW (21% on €91,245.29): €19,161.52
• BPM: €40,137.00
  Total: €150,595.00 (± $178K)

So, Dutch taxes on that full-option M2 CS (also featuring M-CCB): €59,298.52 (± $70K).



In France a €20K "grey card" tax (± $23.6K) is charged for an M2 CS, which will apparently be further raised to €40K ($47.2K) in 2021 when purchasing this type of car.

This cool French M2 CS owner was taken by surprise: see 12:49-13:09:
"What hurts is the 20.000 EUR for the 'carte grise'. And it was not particularly foreseen because the order was made before the [tax] change. On January 1st [2020] they [the French tax authorities] raised their tariff. And so it was a 'small surprise' at delivery."
