I'd love to ship the car but unfortunately it is illegal to do so to Brazil. You can only ship brand new cars or collector cars (15+ yrs old). There's an absurd import tax. So you have an idea, the 135i which cost me ~$40k here would cost me about $180k there. They're upping the taxes on imported cars this week by another 30% to protect domestic manufacturing, it's ridiculous.
I don't have anything as collateral.. I'll call BMW FS to see what the way to go is. Might have to somehow borrow $21k from the old man, this is going to suck big time.
