you literally have to go to germany and pay for bringing the car over....i used to see them come through the dealership...there was an e46 m3 that came from the factory with crank windows and no options at all, that the owner had put a cage in an s/c'd....there is a lot of stuff we will never get in the US, but if you can get easily outside the country :thumbsup:
I think you are mixed up. Unless you can actually show me a link proving what you say I think you are wrong.
Here's how it works. You can go to your dealer and order a car based on what BMW allows on their Build to Order website. On higher end cars there are Individual options available like special exterior and interior colors. Once you order your car you can opt for European Delivery where you pick up your car at the BMW Welt in Munich and drive it through Europe for a while and then drop it at a port for transport to the USA.
