Can I buy an M340d in Europe and bring it to the US?

If I wanted the 2019/2020 M340d, which I don't think will be available in the US, could I take delivery in Germany and have it shipped?

Pretty sure you could never register it, also probably crazy import taxes and fees

Not street legal here. Different requirements, like anti dazzle isn't legal here and diesel requirements differ.

It would be nice if it was that easy.

Wonder if there is any chance it will be available in the US market. The 3.0 diesel is a torque monster.

No. No chance for an I6 diesel G20 for the US. Even the I4 diesel is almost sure to not make it here. BMW, along with most of the rest of the industry, is backing away from diesel engines in the US.

Regarding buying a European spec diesel-equipped G20 while in Europe, while it would be possible to do that, you would not be allowed to import it into the US, no matter what type of modification you made in an effort to meet regulations. The diesel engine is not approved for the US and never will be.
