Thinking about trying to bring it back in two years. It would definitely be a cool addition to my e36 ti. I can find no evidence, however, of anyone ever having successfully imported an e46 ti.

I doubt it would qualify for a show and display exemption due to the relative commonality of the e46 compact in the EU, so am looking for some production info on how many SMG-equipped 325ti's might have been made. If I can make an argument that it is "technologically or historically significant" (i.e. low production numbers), then I might have a chance.

Any of you BMW and internet-savvy surfers know how to find production info on this model? In my experience BMW protects that stuff pretty carefully, so any leads would be much appreciated. I have two years to work the issue, so time is on my side!
