Bringing euro 325i to the U.S.

[gbouton]

Which one in Baltimore? If it's JK Technologies, add another $3-4k to their estimate, because they always have some crap they add to the cost. They had a few complaints on them at the BBB for awhile. Used them and wouldn't recommend them. Really not customer friendly once they have your car.

There is only one in Baltimore proper--JK Technologies. They're just down the street from my office and I've seen many interesting cars there over the years but have never dealt with them personally. The other Baltimore-area importer to consider if coming in from the Port of Baltimore is US SPEC in Aberdeen, MD which is about 50 miles north of the Port.

Car should be arriving in Baltimore around June 4th, getting picked up by JK Technologies... I miss my car:(

The easiest way to import the car is sell it to someone local over there, have them 'travel' with it to the US, then resell it back to you once here. It bypasses the whole federal problem. Or just chop it in half and ship it as parts.

They can only bring the car here for x months and have to leave a bond at customs

Awesome!
LOL what if they cut holes into your m-tech and installed some weird diving boards and hideous side markers on the fresh paint.

They won't do that cuz the m-tech bumpers are in my household goods shipment. I went to the junkyard and grabbed some euro bumpers and threw them on. They can cut all they want on those bumpers, LOL.

I've already got the US bumper trim on and mailed them the correct front and rear marker lights and US front turn signals. I sent them all the correct wiring and plugs too. All they have to do is hook it all up. I even labeled the wires on the car that they need to splice into. Did that for the third brake light too...

Ooops, sorry.

My car arrived in Baltimore May 11th. No real updates yet. I'll be getting updates from JK Technologies when they start work on it. Here's a pic of it in their shop:

Are you guys allowed to bring a car in for racing only purposes?

Like, skip the whole federalization/customs wankers ruining your car and burning parts because it's only for the track?
