RHD BMW 116i put on sale in the United States, but it would you? , 
in Europe, it is a perfectly normal (and quite common) BMW 1 series, powered by a 1.6 litre four producing 121 ch and 160 Nm (118 lb - ft) of torque. In the United States, however, is an unusual grey import.
which makes it even more fascinating, it is only his right-driving, as the car was imported to Scotland by its original owner. The little Bimmer is currently on sale on Bring a trailer to the highest bidder (without reservation), and it has generated a lot of unwanted interest.
mainly because the E87 1 series has never been available in a configuration 5-door hatchback to the United States (even advertising shows it), which made many believe that it is illegally imported into the country. According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, only a motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be imported legally to the United States without taking into account if it complies with all the applicable DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).
the Series 1 has left the factory of 9 years, making it a very strange proposal. Needless to say that the comments of the original pub section went haywire, with people from the federal Government about the 'problem' of failover. Even Doug DeMuro joined the party, saying that ' this (announcement) has all !
even after that the owner intervened and offered explanations on the car here, people are still not convinced on the matter. According to the owner, the 1 series has a title of servitude, but it now has a clean title. It was shipped in a container in one piece, and he can be assured without problem.
unknown is what the (potential) future owner has to face, but the car has 78 k miles, it was lowered on a set of wheels 18 in 135i coil-overs and features, BMW Performance brakes and a manual 6-speed. It might not be a variant of output an option, but it can become toy enthusiast with an engine swap track good.
