I wonder if BMW reinstated Euro Deliveries (discontinued during Covid), if it would be able to side-step the 25% Import Tariff on "new" vehicles? (I'm not sure how the tariffs are worded...)

IOW: Could an E.D. delivered vehicle be considered a "used" vehicle and then not subject to the 25% Import Tax?

Euro Deliveries were always a good bargain. If they could be used to side-step the import tariffs it would be an interesting feature if reinstated.

Germany/Europe gets increased tourism, customers save substantially on the cost of a car and get a nice vacation to boot...

Bring back the Euro Delivery!

It is a good thought, but unless something changed, I am pretty sure you would have to keep it there for at least 6 months. I brought an E63s Wagon back to the U.S. a few years ago - taxes, and customs, duty free, but I had owned it there for about a yr. I was scared it would not work or there would be some type of catch, but it worked.

even if it did work this admin would close the loophole real quick, they've been very vocal about policing the tariffs and closing loopholes

Yes, and come to think of it, I think it was my military status that allowed for this exemption when living over there for a period. Sorry for any confusion.
