Just tell them you are a Doctor...and you took the Hipocratic Oath...and belong the the upper echelon of the society...and therefore they should trust you... 
My order also ran into problems... after almost 3 days (of anguish and eternal waiting)... my order status still shows 5 days... and they are "retrieving the stock from their warehouse" when a fresh order page still shows "immediate stock availability"... I have called their HK and UK hotlines and sent them a couple of emails... and still no updates...
Maybe they are indeed swamped with orders from the E60 forum members! :'(

Wing flaps must order from me. Manufacturer currently studying the aerodynamics of the coupe before they can come up with proper specs.

I'd do it for you guys at cost. What are friends for?
But the paper work in the 18 page LTA guide is pretty daunting... would going to a good repute PI save all the trouble with minimal costs?
What's your recommendation on our next step?
I am just thinking that if we found a way to get this right, it will bring the costs of such models down for the general public as PML would fight back.... so its good news for future generations...

Importing cars from USA may be a problem. From what I hear, the V308 form is only obtainable from the EU or most likely UK in particular. You will not be able to obtain this certification from the USA. Unless anyone here has any insight into importing from the US, I think its best to shelf that idea for now.
Europe or UK is another deal. It is so much easier to import from the UK because our system is very close to theirs and our LTA accepts that cars imported via there follow our restrictions.
The Z4 is a fast aging car. Why not look at something else? I know there is a red M5 bearing the number plate 88 running around in the East. It is a self import. The owner even imported his previous M3. How about the 335i or 330i coupe or maybe even the upcoming M3?

I've sent info on my credit card to other companies, no problems so far.I'll be sending giving my credit card info to expansys, I think they're OK, I've sent the same info to much smaller HK companies in the past.
