we used to be on military tuners in the europe section but bad things happened and now half are there and half are on milteknik.com - seems more imports are on miltek....
I'm about 20 mins from Ramstein and 30 mins from Baumholder so if you need anything, just let me know...

Before I decide to buy the X or not. Just a quick question. Would the Nav work over sea's? Can I buy a Euro map, or would just a regular portable garmin be better?

Good question, I would assume that the dealership can set you up with a map. That is what they are doing with the bmws and such.
Speaking of radios, Peter, if you know anyone that is removing their factory one (nav or regular one) - I am interested in getting it. Please let me know.

Don't send it lowered, because for every mod on your car you need a certification from the TÜV. I'm sure NO US Tuning product has this certification.
Do all mods after the registration. After you got the German plates you have 2 years time to get your mods registrated by few tricks etc.
Maybe I can help you out for same parts with agreements for Germans laws.
We test a few parts we got the German TÜV but be sure all these parts are much more expensive than US parts, because the TÜV papers are very expensive.

Ok Peter wait just a second. If he is a US soldier or even going to be here under DoD he will be fine cause TUV doesnt apply to us at all. So please before you decide to give him false info maybe some of us who have been here under military law and american inspection chime in. With that being said Rims arent a problem. Lowered is abother ball game. Even stock the evo is low and they scrapped my car somewhere between here Atlanta and here. If you have any more questions feel free to PM me. Take a look at my sig and everything i have has passed Inspection here in germany.
I don't know if a registration about US Army is a little bit easier, but if you need a normal registration....

You will not have to follow the strict TUV rules....but I just failed inspection on my VIII. I failed because my car is too low, All metal parts (suspension, exhaust, etc) has to be at least 11 cm off the ground (I measured in at 9.5) and all plastic and other has to be 8 cm off the ground. My coilovers are stuck and unable to move due to all the salt and crap - I just put my summer rims on ( 18") and now I am at like 11.1 cm - wish me luck, I am going back to inspection on Thursday.
Decibal have to be at either 95 or 93, I think 93. I just threw in a silencer - all was good. I also am catless and they don't care as long as a CEL light isn't on.
Another big thing is tread, have good tires.
And if you are shipping it over, raise it up as high as possible - the shipping people will eff it up.
