In Reply to: Could a 2001 M Roadster be bought in Germany then posted by Xino Hartley on July 30, 2000 at 15:44:27:

shipped to Germany. I don't even think there is a european delivery program for them. Why not buy a M3 and drive it and then bring it back, then sell it and get the roadster. You should be able to save a couple o' Grand on the M3 price.


Could I, when the new M Roadster is finally out, save some money by buying the car in München, drive it during my stay in Europe, then ship it to the United States?
How do I find out if that is easily feasible and if the specs of the German car will be according to U.S. requirements, when the time comes? What's a good place to start in gathering practical information for such a project (e.g. shippers, customs, requirements, etc.)?
Anyone?

I can understand how importing a 2000 M Roadster (or any previous year) could pose a problem, given the differences in engine specs. However, given the fact that the 2001 models seem to have exactly the same engines worldwide, isn't importing a German-made 2001 M Roadster the same as importing any other BMW model that is currently offered by U.S. dealers which, as part of a sale deal, handle all the paper work needed for you to pick up your newly-bought car in Germany, drive it in Europe during your stay, and then ship it back to the U.S.?
