Although I really don't care for the Alpina Pinstripes down the sides, the rest of it is awesome.

Enjoy,

question.Name one of the most famous bmw "tuners".....

Answer.............

[Black 535i]

The ad states on EBay that the car is not able to be brought into the US legally through a purchase. But one can buy the car, register it in Canada and keep it on insurance there for three months or more and then one can just drive it across the border and have it reregistered here in the US. This is what I did with my old Canada spec Civic SI years ago. As long as you have owned and insured the car outside the US in your name, you can drive it across the border and have your state pass it without any long process to replace all the speedos and such. The guy who bought my Canadian Civic here in Illinois loved the car for that reason-he had soemthing no one else had. Anyone want to give it a try-too far for me but it is tempting!

u'd need a residence in canada to register it though, and inspect it and stuff...
and not having the car for 3 months would be a hassle....

i think u can bring it to the usa as a race only vehicle correct? no street registration...

[Robin-535im]

Coming in from Canada is easier than from Europe, IIRC. Tack on $3k - $5k to get the qualifications done.

why isn't it right hand drive if its from Japan?

[Black 535i]

I still have an active license in Ontario and a 'residence' at my mother's as far as the Ministry of Transportation in Ontario is concerned. Worth considering but still a lot of effort.

Check the vehicle description in the ad.

[califblue]

uh, right here - This is a pristine 1989 BMW ALPINA B10 3.5/1, which has covered only 56,400Km since new. It was recently imported from Japan and is registered in British Columbia. :p

Those seats are calling my name...

[SharkmanBMW]

this is the 3rd time in 6 months this car sells on ebay... so either it is a lemon people are trying to get rid of or something weird is going on...

each time it has been in vancouver, definitely the same car.....
watch out!!!

[bahnstormer]

wow, they forgot to mention that in the ad =]
lol

Always a bridesmaid, and not a bride! :p

Funny how this car and the V12 550i seem to pop up every now and then, eh?
