President Roh Moo-hyun of South Korea is a trendspotter. He must have been paying attention to
Mercedes’ decline and is equipping the presidential fleet with new BMWs instead of the former Mercedes. The government
is buying five bullet-proof 760 Li BMWs (the longer wheelbase version). There will be 5mm of bullet-proof glass and a
stronger frame. This will raise the price of the cars significantly. Some are saying ten times more than the MSRP of
$117,300. It really is good to be the president (or
king).
