Hallo, ich bin aus England, aber sommer Deutschland...mein Deutsch ist nicht gut...

Hello all. I own 2 E34, a 92 sallon 525 und a 96 525 touring. these are UK cars.

I will move to Germany in summer, ich liebe Dresden und Cottbus, aber Berlin ist besser arbeit. Sorry about my bad German!

To get car insurance in UK, i just tell them my car reg (it stays same for car life), model, ie 525i, jahre, touring. and details of me. But i cannot find the infomation i need to get the car insured in Germany. Also for the TÜV. Here a inspection is each year. and car is checked for safety, and emissions. but can you please tell me how hard, and the main problems people with mid 90's BMW have.

I visit and drive to Germany often (again next week) always Ost, i love it. SO when i move in the summer i take 1 of my cars only.

I really like my black salloon, it is lower by 35mm with Eipoch? susp mod and exhaust and little mods (also black mit 17inch 5 spoke wheels) and i have a red touring. I would like to make my red touring handle much besser, esp the rear end...and on looks too!! people i know in Germany call it a opa wagen :-)

On a not BMW topic...

I have a caravan, that i can tow with my car and the question is.

I would want to use the caravan for trips around Germany, here in England, i can rent, maybe from a farmer, or land owner, space to keep the caravan in winter, or when not in use, so lots of caravans are kept here in the winter, can i do that in Germany? Also each of my trips, i visit Alt DDR military airbases and museums (i am a model maker for hobby) and lots of friends say i should write some books/buchen? as they see my fotos of trips, so i would use the caravan (ich habe eine hund) my dog moves to Germany with me in summer. It would be nice to drive with my caravan around places in Germany i have never seen.

If anyone has a touring, that can show me, how good a touring can look (i only see usually black salloons that look modded) that would be great!!!!

I am sorry for my bad written German, i do speak it better, but i am only just learning to write it, so you can imagine its not easy for me, but i do learn!

Please take a look at my homepage, if you want to learn a little more about me and my interests.

You can write in the international forum as well..

More english in there...

:)

as for the black touring.. look at Stormy's...
his is cool...

thanks, i thought the international section would be no good, as i want answers to do with driving and living in Germany. I find my touring good, although i prefer sportier and better handling cars but i thought maybe i can make my touring better :-)

we do ok in the international....

Hi,

i hope i understand your request... :)

You want to register your car in Germany and you need a German insurance and have to take your car to the TÜV.

Ok, first of all check all parts of your car wich are not original by BMW - i.e. Exhauxt, rims. Next step ist to check whether this parts are exist on German market or they are availible in a German version. Now consider the producer of this part and ask for a document named "Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis" or "Teilegutachten". If for some part no such documents exist attend a document in UK that this parts are common with UK-Law.

Collect this documents - you will need it at your first date with the TÜV.

Now you should contact a German insurance of your choice and they need the vehicle identification number. You get a document named "Deckungskarte" and with this you have do go to the admission office, in German called "Zulassungsstelle" of your County. You get a number and now you have to drive to the TÜV. If they say that is all ok with teh Car you get the stamp on your plate und you are reday to drive.

greetings
