Anyone who lives in IL buy out of state? IL vehicle registration related question
Hey everyone, my G80 is on a boat and starting to do some diligence before it arrives at the dealer (out of state) which is expected to arrive in about 4 weeks. I am picking it up in AL and planning on driving it back up (~600 miles) to IL. Wanted to hear from folks who bought of state and how difficult it was to register the car in IL. If I go on reddit, I see some people struggling on getting their car registered in IL when bought out of state and I don't want to be in a similar position.
My questions:
Thanks everyone!!! |

Bought my M2 CS in PA and picked it up at PCD. Dealer actually got me temp plates from PA for the drive home and also submitted paperwork to IL DMV. License plate and registration was mailed to my house within 3 months, it was easy and I paid all fees with the dealer in PA.

Hey,
I think you should be ok. I was told by dealer in Colorado that I will be given temp plates, paperwork will be mailed to IL and then I can register and pay sales tax at the DMV once paperwork arrives- and collect registration and plates.. I have done something similar with a car from Cali and it was easy and fast. |

To close the loop on this thread, I got the car about 3 weeks ago, the dealer FedEx overnight the bill of sale, additional paperwork, title, etc.
Only mistake that was made in this process was the check was made out to IL Secretary of State. It should have been: “IL Department of Revenue” Basically I had to have the dealer issue a new check, void the other, and have the DMV send back the voided check. Took an extra week and I had to go back and forth a few times but finally got the IL temp plates and waiting for my new vanity plate to come in. Overall, smoother than I expected but just that one minor hiccup otherwise could have gotten this done 10 days ago. |

Bought my M2C from Texas, my situation was an absolute nightmare. Couldn't get the car registered in IL, DMV and the State said my VIN "did not exist."

I ended up trading the car in for a G80. I shit you not, the DMV told me if I were to get pulled over, the police officer might deem the car as stolen...
I could have most likely taken care of the issue if I really wanted, but with all honesty, I got sick of the headache and motor werks sold me an M3 at MSRP and offered me +$4k on the M2.
