a friend of a friend is shipping his car to italy for two weeks its costing him 20k.
like i said before buy a 2006 m3 and forget about taking your 1M... even if you just leave the m3 in the uk for a year and import it and rego it. you'll have two cars and change of 20k. |

Now, I remembered why I given up the idea sending my car to europe - the 90d each way. I had a quick look at transport by plane and decided that it was very excessive.

if you were planning on being there for 12 months then the theory has legs but otherwise your without your car for 6-9 months.
actually why not just flog off the one you have, buy a new one in the uk, drive it for 12 months and then bring that one back? |

Sounds crazy, but then again I'm still keen to ship my bike over, do the I.O.M. thing and then tour southern Europe.

I'm skeptical about delivery via ship to Europe. Do they re-coat the areas with the hydrocarbon polymer to prevent corrosion like they do from the factory during pre-delivery? It's quite an important step that prevents from ocean salt-water corrosion (most of the money spend on delivery is accounted for in that step + removal of it post landing on our shores)
I'd fly it over if I were you. |
