For the Caribbean

Hello to All;

I have just joined the forum and read some of the posts with great interest. I live in Trinidad, in the Caribbean. Our cars are Right Hand Drives. I want to purchase a 2011 5 series, but I have a few issues.

I currently own a 2001 525i which I bought in Miami and brought to Trinidad. That car is LHD but I was able to bring that car into the country as a special concession. That concession is no longer available to me. I therefore have to buy a RHD car.

I was thinking to try a "special order" from a dealer in the United States, but I have not made any progress. The dealers I have contacted have not taken my inquiries seriously. My main concern is that the base model available in Trinidad is the 523 and the options are limited and expensive. I feel that I will end up with an "inferior" car at the end of the day at too high a price.

I guess my first question is: US or UK? Which is likely to give me the best options at the lowest price?

Thanks guys.
