Otherwise, I wouldn't sweat the smaller issues (most of which can be addressed), and just take your X7.
I will say, driving Bimmers on their native homeland German autobahns is a BLAST. Truly what they were designed for. (yes, I realize our babies are made in SC)

Yeah I have fantasized about the autobahn and especially driving through the Alps 😉
Question:
I've heard that you can in fact leave American plates on a vehicle for a determined amount of time and avoid a lot of the paper work and fees etc.
Not sure if it's a terrible idea. Switzerland is about as safe as it gets, but in some neighboring countries like France and Italy where there is a lot of theft related to tourism in the big in the big cities, you would be basically advertising yourself as a tourist.
Any experience with this?
Thanks!
