For those prices i'd go for an audi. The new A4 or A5 i myself will get a A5 when the 2.0 TFSI engine is available.

Actually quite a few people buy their BMWs and Audis from the US these days since the Dollar is so weak, as even with shipping and duty its less than buying it here. You can compare cars with the car configurator on the homepages, for a BMW 325xi you pay about 46.000€ and for the same car, 328xi with about the same accessories you pay $45.000 in the US. Plus you usually get the better deals (interest rates etc) in the US too.

Buying a car in Europe is a f***in ripp off, just like anything else here! I dont know how its possible for all those companies to have such good deals in the US! My current car costs about 34.000€. In the US you can get it (not a Diesel though) for about $35.000. God damnit, must... not... think... about that! [cursing][cursing][cursing]

Edit: The only good thing is, we get all those great Diesel engines.

I feel you man, cars are even more expensive in Holland e.g. the Audi S5 costs 24.000 euro's more then in Gemany, 24,000 more! not to mention we are the most expensive country with gas.
Thats why im getting the A5 2.0 TFSI and also get decent mileage.

Also thats a pretty good idea, importing a car from the US i might check that out.
