I'm planning on bringing a car back (E30 Touring) in March/April of 2013.
A) 25 years or older, goes by build month/year, don't go 24 1/2 otherwise you are paying federalization fees and/or customs storage fees
B) Shipping is expensive, RORO from the United Kingdom to the West coast is $2500, East coast is around $1500. Have not looked at Germany as I plan to road trip around Europe in said car. Shop Around..
C) You need a customs broker to handle the paperwork
D) Its probably not worth the hassle unless you really want a perfect car.
E) Find someone over there to help. I've been talking to 2 folks to help me out.
I'm budgeting $10,000 to find a touring and bring it back. Most are rust buckets and the typical clean ones are 316's and made ~20 years ago (in my research as well)
