All you pay is a the destination fee like any other car. In BMWs case its $795.

Same goes for any car made over seas thats a bound for the U.S. He meant "U.S made" as in its a U.S spec car.

I don't know if this has been brought up...

...but did anyone else notice the 335i in Ocean's 13? It was kinda a "plug" for the car... but subtle. At the time of the filming of this movie, it had to had been waaaaaaaaay before the release of the car...

I just realized that he didnt have any pics of him driving around.

Dont tell you were so brown that you did ED for the cost savings and went for a day or two just to drop the car off.

I was gonna do that too.

Thanks for the clarification Jesal, yes, I meant Made for US or US Spec car. Everyone pays destination fee, this is no different doing Euro Delivery.

I took video of me driving out of the Welt

Actually, I only put 18 miles on the car, not because I wanted to, I was limited by weather. It was snowing and very cold (25 degrees), so I couldn't drive much around with the summer tires. I wanted to go to Fussen and go do a castle tour, but damn weather was against me. Car sets sail today and should be in NY on 12/10, hopefully customs and VPC don't take long and I'll have her before Christmas.

How could I miss this thread? Congrats, cTLgo. Beautiful car. I'm also in the potential BMW owner club. If Acura doesn't keep its act together by the time I'm ready for a new car (another year or two, depending on how impulsive I am), I'm almost certainly going to go for a 535i or 545i. I went to high school in Germany, so European Delivery makes sense to me, as I could drive cross-country to my old school.

By then the 2001 E46 M3 you're buying is 10 years old.

Double Vanos + 10 years = You "getting the business" from it

Just picked up the car from the dealer yesterday. OMG, I missed my car so much. I feel so relieved to have her back! The power and response of the car is absolutely orgasmic.

I configured my settings in idrive and my ipod touch comes in tomorrow (using flash drive for now). Got my snow tires put on just in time, tomorrow we have a lot of snow in Chicago, I'm ready to battle the streets. I'll post pics once I get her cleaned up and there's some daylight!
