Howdie
 been visiting this website for quite a while but i'd
never even registered let alone posted anything. Have to design a banner ad for that website. So when looking through the site to see if there was any beemers for sale I saw the ad for that 320is. Remember seeing this post so thought I'd post the link to it. I know absolutly nothing about that car but does look like a nice one.

Welcome to the forum panman!
Looks nice but it would want to be for 10K! Does the price include the original rims? |

Eamo I'm pretty sure that Italy has a temporary registration process similar to the ZZ plate in Ireland. As far as I know the number plate designation in Italy is EE. I'm not sure what the mechanics of getting an EE number issued is but if you still want the car its worth suggesting to the dealer. It would get past their issue with the proper plate but they may have to deregister the Italian plate and knowing the red tape and so on that might take a little time. |

I don't think you can register/VRT a car without it being in the country.

Hard luck on getting the car back. Maybe I am also talking through my southern regions as well but how about getting the car registration prior to travelling over the next time (if there is going to be a next time that is), getting two plates made up in Ireland, driving the car out of the garage without any plates in Italy (or wherever), park up at the side of the road and stick em on! Or am I missing something that deserves a 2 by 4 on the back of the head? |

I would have just trailerd the thing out of garage as they had requested and get the guy to drop it off around the corner- 100 euro tops. Once they've got the cash, the car is yours, just take it handy coming back to make sure there're no extra complications regarding speeding fines on their plates. Or am I just talking out of my southern regions. |

i know that but the point is that they are legally and financially responsible for the no plates. Its not like here where you can go to any aul motor factors and get plates made up. |

Can you not get ZZ plates here for importing, or do they only apply to export?

sorry to hear that. Even in my days growing up in bavaria everone there was horified to buy a car in Italy (and the bavarians love the italiens so that wasn't the reason). My brother emigrated to Italy with his family 6month ago and he gets screamin fits ever so often..... Try to get garage plates here and you should be ok to transit the car trough europe. Maybe they give you some money of seeing that they said it's ok but changed the goalposts while you were there? Oh and to the german question they have special plates to export cars if the garage sorted that for you peace of cake. I for sure |
