To Register European Specs BMW in the U.S.
I was wondering if anybody would know if it is possible to register a
European Specs BMW in the States. I have been stationed in Germany
for the past years and would like to ship my to cars back home.
However, I won't be able to spend major money on a conversion. I have
a 92 BMW 318IS in excellent condition with 88,000kn (55,000 miles) on
the clock and a 93 520I, also in excellent condition. I believe that
the 520i never sold in the States. At any rate, does anybody have any
experience with this?
Your help would be appreciated.
TIA

Isn't there a provision for service people stationed abroad being able to
bring home what they acquired while outside the US with minimal hassle?
Except maybe for emissions issues with cars, I'm sure there is. If there
isn't, there should be.

Although there are exceptions for military personnel, the exception
does not exclude bringing it into compliance with US DOT/EPA/NHTSA
regs. See: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/

Expect to pay approximately $10,000 US to certify each vehicle.
With the 318iS, don't bother, sell it and buy one here, they're really cheap
because they're totally undesireable. If it's an M42 vehicle, it's possible
that it will be cheaper to bring in, because it already exists here,
but........
The 520i would be an interesting vehicle to have here, but still not so much
of a conversation piece as to warrant the expense.

You can find some general info at
http://www.importexporthelp.com/importing-cars.htm.
Also, at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/ there is a "List of
registered importers" about halfway down the page.
