    If you could bring a car back from Europe, what would it be (realistically)?

    So, I plan on taking a trip to Europe again next year and I really want to purchase a car there to enjoy on the trip and then ship back here. The best option for this is a european delivery, but this blows the whole budget out of the water and also, there really isnt any new cars I like. I priced out a 328D wagon, but after it was all said and done, the car cost over 50 grand. PASS

    Ive been looking at a few different options, but Im hoping to get some input from you guys about an option I maybe havent considered.

    Please think realistically, because I really want to do this. Ive looked at some Alpina's and those might the winner, Ive really been lusting after a ~2010 or 2011 D3 but even that is on the high end IF it could even be brought over.

    Ive looked at the NHTSA website so there are options that dont need to be 1991 or older.

      An E34 M5 Estate.

      Think of it. An already spacious M5 made even more spacious for fast and fun road trips.

                          That would be my other choice but luckily we have them locally here. Sierra Cosworth would be nice too. I guess I'm a Ford guy.

                              My vote goes to "something you can get parts for and/or worked on if you bring it back." There are some cool cars suggested here, though most of them are short-sighted.
