Getting a car through U.S. customs
I want to bring two first gen m3's into the U.S. but I don't know how to get them through customs. I met a guy who had a honda beat convertible, and he imported it WITHOUT going through a registered importer and WITHOUT making modifications sneeking past the high fee's, how can I do this! I know I can get the cars registered once I get them through customs, it is just getting them through that seems to be the problem, can anyone help, anyone?

-I will be bringing these cars in from germany.
-I will be driving them on public roads, taking them to shows, and lapping events. -I could ship them into canada, but I don't know their importing policies, if you do and have a conection hook me up! -There is nothing wrong with the U.S. m3, it is a great car, but there is only one U.S. model, the 190hp coupe. I will be bringing in a convertible, and a sport evolution or "evo 3". If you didn't know these cars were not availible to the U.S. market. The convertible comes stock with 215hp, and the evo comes with a larger 2.5l four producing 238hp, it has lots of other goodies too: bigger brakes, light weight windows, a two inch wider stance, wider 16" wheels, suede steering wheel, e-brake, and shifter boot/knob, better recaro seats, different suspension, adjustable front and rear spoilers, and a whole bunch of other cool stuff, all stock. BMW made 500 of them so they could keep up with the other evo cars in the early 90's dtm, the car kicks serios butt! |

unfortunatly.. i don't have a hook up .. anywhere for importing..
but it seems to me that canada has less strict import laws.. and lower fees... if you are having it shipped somewhere if your in seattle , i would have them shipped somewhere in BC, your right under it.. take a few hours and some friends and drive up there to get them... it's a long way around for germany but getting it into canada would be much less of a problem.. in fact if you could ship it to mexico it would be your best bet.. the boarder for us, and mex, you could drive them accross no problem as long as ya had us id.. i'm not that into importing so i am not sure of shipping regs. but look online or make some calls.. you might be able to find something.. |
