Why not just get a new one here? Shipping cars are a hassel and unless your car is that important or special to you or your company is paying for the shipment as a part of the reallocation expenses.

Agree with AC_S5. Too much trouble to ship it back to HK and I am sure BMWHK won't houour any warranty work or recall with your car. They will consider it as a grey import (water goods), and it will be difficult to sell it when you want to get rid of it.

If I am not mistaking... you'd have to pay first registration tax on the car. If that is true, it's totally not worth it to ship it back.
