Hey does anyone know what would be procedure to register US spec car in france like 135i or 335i.

BTW car was already registered in Europe and taxes like customs are paid.

Thanks

You will need:
1. Certificate of conformity - i.e. to show the build meets EU spec.
2. Proof of ownership.
3. Proof of VAT paid.
4. If the car is 4 or more years old, a "contrôle technique" (the French MOT).
5. Proof of I.D. (eg passport).
6. French car-insurance.
7. I'm unsure whether or not you need proof of residency (I don't think you do but I read somewhere that it was needed).

You have to visit various offices, filling in forms and paying money. One item you'll have to pay is an "eco-tax" - how much depends on various factors, and it can work out quite expensive for a newish car with a poor carbon footprint.

Search some of the ex-pat forums for more detailed information.
