US parts in the UK

Kind of the opposite of norm.

Is there anything worth importing from the States?

£/$ rate!

$1.50 = £1 July.................now $1.22

But if you're thinking of shipping in a container, maybe some of us could be interested as well?

Where are you located?

Now it makes sense. I thought you were looking to import stuff to the UK and paying in pounds. I didn't realise you are American!

Well, in my experience, the USA seems to have cheaper BMW parts than we can get over here. Now that the £ has fallen against the $ and €, it will be even more the case.

If I were you, I'd bring as much over as you can - it'll save you a fortune! Please remember that our electrical supply is 240 volts.
