Yes, I have imported before (saved 8K on a 2 year old 2005 M3 back in 2007) but gave all that back and more on resale. So did the subsequent buyer who tried to trade it in at a dealer. He too lost money on the same car and it was a super clean, low mileage car! Importing was all the rage then though and the dealers were getting pissed off. Not sure much has changed with this dealer attitude.
G'luck everyone and enjoy your cars.

Yes. I bought my M3 because I'm sitting in it for $20k less.
If i ever want to sell it, I will, and for market price. You can't compare e46 import to e9x import. That's why I gave my honest opinion and factual savings to the OP when he asked about the process. He isn't asking about resale. I think he's trying to sit in an M3 for less money. That's what it boils down to.
Bye.
