Question on what BMW stuff to buy/import from germany.

[Dean]

I have a question. My parents recently moved back to germany(heidelberg) for another 5 yr tour with the army this past feb. What kinda shit can I have my dad buy from germany that I assume will be a lot cheaper vs buying here? Is oem parts like OEM m3 mirrors a lot cheaper there? I wont have to worry about customs because my dad can send any thing he buys through the militarys base post office and when I send him stuff he has an APO AE NY address that gets routed to germany on base. If you guys got some ideas of what to buy maybe I can have a side business and start buying shit from germany and selling it to u guys. The turn around via the military's post office is about 5-7 working days to get from germany to atlanta.

Ellipsoids?

nothing since the US dollar is not strong in europe lately. IF he will be there for 5 years, wait until the US dollar gets stronger.

I just didnt know if say stuff like ellipsoids or M3 mirrors were hella cheap since its made there and it doesnt have to be imported to stealers or other online vendors and marked up high. I would have no customs charges what so ever. Didnt know if my dad could go to a german dealership and buy M3 mirrors or ellipsoids and if it was substantially cheaper or not or find a distributor in germany who carries it.
