As those of you that read the forum frequently know I'm planning to relocate to Switzerland / Zug and later Lugano.
Now I was planning to buy a BMW X5 Hybrid which costs roughly 100K Euro in Germany, after 5 - 8 months I want to take this car with me into Switzerland, so I asked the customs what the costs are.
I must say, Switzerland authorities are ULTRA fast to respond.
However, I do not understand the math, maybe someone here can help elaborate
