In Holland you will deal with the tax that has to be paid to import a US car. Can you say 25% tax over the carprice???

Furthermore I would have a US spec car that has less value over here (orange front reflectors etc..)

[quote name='ls78000' date='Apr 2 2005, 06:38 AM']Now i understand ! It's not only for the car but all the rest you can enjoy in Europe.? Will do the same if some day i buy an american car in US. But i doubt i will. I love my BMW too much.

BMW requires to see your passport 30 days before you pickup the car for one thing. Secondly, I bet you'd have a hard time getting it registered over there.

You have that tax anyway. And as for the reflectors, you could easily change them.
