Had no idea you could buy a LHD car in the UK, brand new. Was it from an official dealership? |
Yes. BMW Park Lane in London. I picked up the car there on UK Export plates and then registered it in France. Just after the Brexit vote Yes result in July 16 was announced, sterling plummeted and I pounced. You can pay in GBP / USD or EUR. Car was delivered in Nov 16.
