I had a similar situation 15 years go with a minivan while on active duty. Ended up selling it and buying a local German spec 5 series. If you can get the financing at a price you can tolerate than go for it. Study the German drivers license book provided by US European Command. It’s was a hard test long ago, due to new signs and certain right of way laws in Germany.
If you can’t take it then BMW Military sales is available for DoD civilians and you can get a good tax free deal, until you bring back stateside and pay the state tax then.
Good luck and enjoy Europe!
