Every other way runs the risk of being discovered and loosing the car. So this is down to you - I'm sure you know all the loopholes to get it there and registered, but as I am sure you are also aware (and is being discussed to death on the various US Japanese car forums), the car wouldn't be legitimate and doing it this way means that when the time comes to properly register it, you would be unable to do so. Cars already "registered" illegally cannot be then re-registered legitimately at a later date (unless you could fake all the dates of the shipping / import documents), but again, being discovered will mean you will loose the car. Once it is "faked" it has to stay "faked" and hope that no-one ever finds out it is what it is and was brought in illegitimately.

However, given that every BMW nerd will INSTANTLY recognise it's illegality, I personally think it is a huge risk of being snitched on (unless you never plan on showing the car ANYWHERE).

I think the show and display is your safest bet, but probably not what you wanted to hear .
