I am starting to sound like a TV advert  but anyone in Europe could make amazing savings by buying a left hand car in England.
In UK a 523i is £ 31200 , plus leather seats ambient light etc etc, as standard
a 523i in Germany is 41900 euros without the standard extras that are avaIable in UK and this is almost £ 5000 more ,
in Belgium 43,500 euros again without the extras available for the UK market,
in Spain 44,300 euros and again without the extras available for the UK, and so on...
and if we look at say a 535i or even a 550i the difference can be almost 20,000 euros!....
I ask why  ....and you only need to pay the Tax in the UK to be able to use it in any EEC country without any hassle. |
Thanks for the very usefull info!
I made some research and I found this link:
http://www.bmwtaxfree.co.uk/export-s...ur-status.html
It is written that: "To be eligible for the export sales programme you must be able to meet the following criteria: Produce documentation confirming you are living or working in the UK or outside of your country of residence for more than 3 months."
Did you face this issue?
