discussion Rare / foreign BMW’s on our shores

[J-10-M]

Fanatics,

I swear I saw an F31, aka an F30 touring on the streets of Cape Town. Which has got me wondering what BMW models we don’t have on our shores or a least in very numbers.
Obviously most touring models ended after the Exx series.

What other foreign BMW’s do you wish we had!?

I've seen an F31 in the Southern Suburbs - looked like a diplomat vehicle. Also an E61 on German plates.

I've seen a few E36ti's. Hahaha - still tangentially looking for one, if the right price hits I might have to just hit the bid button...

There are a few UKDM cars in RHD with MPH & KM/H on the clusters. They are expat and diplomat cars that get brought across from time to time. Seen some of the E36 oddities - a wagon (not SA plates though) and the tis. Came across an E92 M3 while shopping and there are apparently a couple more of them floating around.

One think that may have interested me but which has never (and probably will never) arrive on these shores is this.

I have spotted an F11 floating about the Southern 'burbs of Cape Town about 2 years ago.
