As for some of you - I live in Sweden so LHD will not be a problem, but this is the case!
As for some of you who know me, I have changed back to my old religion who is Alfas but I need a proper car for the Scandinavian winter and due to the US dollar is low in value Im tempted to import a E46 or a E36 M3 from the US due to they are cheap there and the currency of USD is cheap.
I have found some nice E46 325i Coupes "over there"
Import of BMWs from United States

Well, if you can get a good deal, and its the car you want, then why not...
Just be sure that you use a decent shipping company, and its well insured.
I used to work for a garage that imported muscle cars from the US and they were often damaged in transit by sloppy dock workers/shipping companies.

Don't forget that US E36 M3s have a different engine to Euro M3s

why not just buy it in europe? i guess shipping costs,insurance, will be expensive, won't they?
it's an european car, you will most probably find a nice deal in europe.

Check Tau Sales. Problem is nearly all BMW's in Japan are auto's.
