          Post Importing a 95 3.8 into USA

          Has anyone heard of anyone doing this. I have a 95 3.8 touring but I was told it is impossible to get it past EPA and DOT regulators. Any info would be appreciated

          Hey Paul, do you know whether your car had to be modified at all? I will call Scott today also. We are going to Germany next month and have a line on an E34 there that I would love to buy and bring home. Any info appreciated.

          I have spoken with a person who has imported a number of 3.8 M5s. He said that ease of registration varies by state. California, for instance, requires that your model of vehicle match one in their directory. Since CA has no listing for a "94 M5," it is not so simple to get the car registered. Other states, however, are far easier to deal with. You may simply submit the year and model and then the VIN # to be legal. So long as they have your car on record you are cool. Before stealing plates from another car it may be wise to check the protocol of YOUR state's DMV.

          Hey Guys.......
          CA. is definately the hardest state to bring a car over here. I had no problem registering it in FL or NY. I also know some people that did it in GA, SC, NJ, MD, TX. They didn't have any problems either. but you definately have to check with your DMV. I didn't bother going through an import co. I just wanted to deal with 1 person which was Scott. He is an impeccable person as far as these cars go. I have to warn you, that there is a waiting list. He goes beyond the call of duty. He does things to the cars that a dealer wouldn't even think of. Good Luck........

          Hi Bob,

          "Scott" is Scott Epstein. His email address is hartgem5@mediaone.net and is definately worth talking to if you want to buy an M5

          Regards

          John
