At the end of all that, you'd have an old BMW with $20k in parts and mods, worth about $10k. On the plus side, some mechanic's kid wouldn't have to worry about college. |

buying a used m5 or 540 would be cheaper.

There's a ton of E39 M5s on eBay right now going for less than 25K if you're interested.

Umm, it would cost $20k to swap in the twin turbo engine. There's NO WAY it cost more than that to ship a car to Israel. I've had friends fly their cars to Australia from here for under $5k. You could buy and ship an E39 M5 from here for $30k. Just don't send a cashier's check for more than the amount and ask someone to forward the remainder to your bank in Africa, please. |

yea i know that it would be cheaper to ship an m5....but the point is not the cost of shipment...the problem is the taxes....we can only import cars that are not more than 2 years on the road...and the taxes are 114-140% of car price.
