The title says it all. I'm moving to England in June but i need to ship my car by mid April because it takes 6 weeks to get the container from Long Beach to the Port of London.

So i need someone to help me find someone so i can get a price quote or parts list so i can get this prosses started and finished with.

BTW my car is a 2006 E90 330i

*Also, ya i know it's a hassle but i bought my car outright from day one and i only have 26K miles on my car and my trade in value is shit so i plan on keep it because i love my car

Thank you

Good luck.
I would of course suggest you sell here and rebuy a euro M Sport there!
But i wouldnt think it would be too much of a problem.

Ask the UK guys what they're laws and regs are. . .

BMW's are worth less over there i believe... Seems like alot of work and money to decrease the value of your car...

Hahah yeah sounds like you were about to get scammed!!!
What did he get banned for?

And.. .. ..
I agree with NinetyEight740 on that too.
You should look real hard and really consider spending to money to export and stuff plus the loss of value of you car in the UK.
Might make a bit more sense to buy something over there. . .

If you're in California then I don't think you'll have to do anything to make your car road legal in England. As far as emissions standards go California is more stringent than almost anywhere, so you won't need to change anything on the engine/exhaust.

The only other thing I can think of is in Europe you need to have side indicators on the cars fender, which ours already have..

My parents brought our old 5 series from CA to Europe in the 90's, we didn't have any problems doing that at all.

I would still suggest that the UK guys chime in, but I think you're good to go, good luck though in learning to drive a left hand drive car on the left side of the road...
