: : How can you tell if a car is a grey market import, if so what are the advantages/disadvantages of this situation?

: --------------------------------------------
: Bumpers
: VIN# (call your insurance co-they can tell you)

: Some insurance companies will NOT cover gray market cars or charge a lot more.

: Passing emissions can be a problem.

: Some BMW dealers will NOT touch a gray market car.

: Prices are a LOT lower. I bought my friend's mint Alpina when not a single dealer would take it in trade OR even let it sit on their lots on consignment. They were concerned about liability.

: Bob

these cars are considered secret weapons. They are lighter, faster, quicker, better looking
strickly for gear heads though. Do not consider these cars if you are not "aware" of what you are getting into.
