It may be easier to invent a time machine, go back in time 5 years, join the military, get stationed in Germany, do your 4 years service, buy the new M3 when it comes out, then get it shipped back to the US through the military. If they even let you do that anymore!
The deal I was talking about is for a US Spec car, not a Euro spec car. No conversions required.

Mosport, I have heard of that happening; that is having a US military friend in Europe buy and ship a car for someone else and then getting reimbursed.
