Off the top of my head there are at least a few jobs that have a 12 week basic training, 1 year or less assignment to Germany, and can be done in a Reserve capacity vs active duty. So basically you'd be a weekend warrior back here in the states (1 weekend a month for a couple years) and get to go live in Germany for a bit while your car is being built. It's also possible (depending on your line of work) to continue to do your civilian job while stationed abroad...or, some companies will just hold your job for you while you're on active status. Even better, some will continue to pay the difference in salary between your civilian job and military pay.

Yeah...that should get you one into the US without worrying about all that pesky tens of thousands in shipping costs.
Won’t work. You can only pick US models via the BMW Military program.
