What are you trying to ask? You can go to any dealer and tell them you want to buy a car. :D

Pentagon Car Sales on B40 in Einsiedlerhof. Make sure you order the US spec version if you want to take it back.

You can virtually ship any car back to the states. The only thing though is you'll have to pay for the conversion once stateside which can range from 2K to 15K depending on the vehicle. I'm getting ready to buy a 911Turbo eurospec and ship it home in a few yrs. It just depends on what you want to do basically. The US gov't however won't ship it back but then again I'm not absolute certain though.

If your talking about converting a German car to US specs... :shock: it'll cost ya. Could even cost more than the car unless the car is old enough to fall under the oldtimer clause. I believe that there is only one or two places that can legally convert a car. You'd be better off getting one that's US spec to begin with.
If you want something different than what's available from the states, go directly to BMW. I had a Warrant Officer back in '94 or '95 that had BMW build her a "M3". It didn't have the markings of a M series, just all of the goodies that it comes with. Under the hood she got the 4 liter V8 that was available in the M5. She paid for it but it was US spec.
Don't ask if they'll still do this or how... It was some time ago.
