Hello everyone,

I'm currently stationed in Japan, and considering picking up a e9x M3 while I'm here.

I know, I know.. 25 year import rule.. BUT:

LHD M3's from 2006-2010 are eligible for US Import according to NHSTA.
Eligibility #: VSP-571, Docket #: NHTSA-2012-0159
The docket number lists the several minor modifications required to meet US Specs.

Has anyone personally done this?
If so, what registered imported did you use, and how much did everything cost to meet compliance? I'm guessing $5,000-$10,000?

I have access to auctions here through a friend, and am seeing the M3s go for prices MUCH lower than in USA with low mileage (I'm guessing everyone is too focused on Supras, Skylines, RX7s, S15s, etc..)


Thank you in advance.
