Bringing euro 325i to the U.S.

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?

yes but the car must have documentation.

I want to be able to drive my car on the street. Besides, I have a lot of euro parts in my household goods shipment that I will be putting back on the car.

I understand that. I was more asking in general.

Seems like a nightmare to have cars imported to the US.

You guys as in Americans? Yes, with certain constraints

You guys as in military Americans? Yes, same as normal Americans.





Dirtboy - Nice to see it made it stateside safe! I'd be interested to know if the federalization place tacks on a bunch of "fees."

Car has been released from the DOT, just waiting for the paperwork so I can get it on the truck to Vegas.

Car's finally here! Just gotta clean it up and then start to put the euro parts back on. Then on to putting the stereo system and alarm back in. Still waiting for regular plates so I can drive it.

Very nice!! So after 25yr mark, is it essentially just paying for shipping?

Everything I've read, yes. Plus whatever state tag, title, and tax...

Plus Taxes aka Duty on anything bought aboard while out of country is subject to being taxed.

Official: :-D

Such utter BS that has to be done. I despise this country.

Still can't legally drive my e30; waiting for tags. But I have been working on it. Putting the Mtech2 stuff back on:

Rear bumper and trunk lid:




Front bumper, headlights and kidney grill:



I also installed HIDs while I was putting the euro lights back in.

And then I came upon this problem with my driveway, LOL:
