Interesting that the steering wheel can stay on the UK side... I think it's good the TUV are strict, not because they can be a pain in the butt with say "modified" cars, but at least everyone has to have the car checked properly, including people who unlike "enthusiasts" probably don't pay as much attention to things like worn suspension, brakes and tires.
Nice video! Very interesting! As usual thanks for sharing Misha!
Just finished yesterday's vlog and then today's vlog releases, good timing :)
Awesome! I live in Germany myself but originally from the UK, been looking for some good reliable information on registering a car for ages, but like you say there really isn't much about. Very informative and has definitely put my mind at ease on the whole process. Although I must add it is only this simple if the car is not modified, any modifications must be Tüv registered and to do so need relevant paperwork, which if you're buying from the UK it isn't going to have! And on the is it worth it point, yes. Just take a look at the prices of cars compared to UK and Germany, even German cars. And being on the wrong side takes 10 minutes to get used to, only a pain when going through the Maccies drive thru or ticket car park!
I'm actually enjoying these winter vlogs :P Just hoped we would see a bit more. Great videos nonetheless :) keep 'em coming sir...thanks Misha and Co.
Classic steamy headlights! I recently tried drilling a couple of 4mm holes top and bottoms of the full beam access covers (as per people's suggestions on various forums). Was pleasantly surprised that it seems to have worked.
Really loved the workshop bits. Thumbs up for Tim!
I still can't believe the E36 is so mint inside & out!
E36 at scrap must been 316i because of rear handbrake drums or it was early coupe. Love the bottle tops you’ve put on the car proper OEM look!
Living in the desert, all that snow looks so good! ⛄⛄⛄ I'm sure the ones cleaning the Apex driveway don't agree 😄
I dreamt of a muffler last night, I woke up exhausted
The weak points in the cooling system are mostly on older BMWs is the plastic fittings, mostly the thermostat housing.
Unexpected expense of a cat is a shame but not a killer. The local RSPCA centre will have a few homeless, I'm sure! We brought ours from there 6 years ago.
A new blog from Misha, a new Roadkill, the best birthday gift I've had! All the best Misha.

20 year old car and only thing TÜV dings you for is emissions (which is fixable when the KAT goes back on) and the handbrake? Thats really not too bad. Could have been way worse indeed as you said.
@steventaylor5687

Yeah I agree with that. The German TUV test is much more strict than the UK MOT.
In Canada you have to pass an inspection if you transfer a car to another province, even if it was originally bought in that province! It costs over 250$! Each province is like a country within itself.
The cat and handbrake are part and parcel of older car ownership. Handbrake should be a fairly quick (cheap) fix but the cat issue may be a bit expensive unless you buy from a scrap yard. I quite like Murphy on his bottle top alloys 👌🏻
I just did this stuff 2 days ago, passed all the tests, registered, just need a license now!
Love these kind of videos.
Buying a German car from the UK, to register and drive in Germany... inception much! Still worth it.
If you got an e46 you could have set the lighting for right hand driving, might be smarter for importing
COC depends on the car I think. I've heard you have to ask for it at the headquarters of the brand in the country where the car was first sold, a real shitshow and probably not cheap. But as long as you're in Europe and get a car from another country in the EU it's pretty much the same procedure, I got my Dyana the bug in the Netherlands and went to the customs (Douane) here in Belgium for that paper you got in the cityhall. The bug didn't get through the check her first time either because of a teeny tiny crack on the bottom of the headlight but second time was without any problems :)

For a time I used to buy my cars new, from the manufacturer in Germany and export them to Switzerland. To get them registered in the Zuerich canton, I had to have a COC from the manufacturer, but, the paper it was printed on had to have a the unique watermark of the manufacturers logo on it, that you could see by holding the paper up to the light. It was just one of the things that you learn. But the German Customs offices, were really helpful and guided everybody through filling out all the papers so that one got the maximum tax benefit, I can't praise them enough.
My dad has an old E36 323i convertible. Nice car, bro!
What I know you are wrong. After some time it is mandatory to register car in Germany (and not only there). If you are living in Germany and using your home country register car then after about a year you need go back with your car to home country or register it in Germany. There is many topics on paralegal forums in my country where people asking how to avoid that. Maybe it easier in place like Nurburgring where there is many visitors from abroad but in other places you getting tickets if you are using your car too long.

I just went trough the equivalent of this in Bulgaria with my new (to me) winter beater. Took less than 24 hours from seeing the ad to having the car on the road. And it cost less than a set of winter tyres for the M5.

but when you compare the road fatality rate per million, you can clearly see what the result of your convenience is. bulgaria 99 fatalities per million while germany has only 39 in the same period. i'd rather struggle to get my car registered than die in it because it was really easy to get it on the road again.

I have to disagree. The main reason is education and common sense. Accidents and fatalities happen when people do stupid things. As proven multiple times before, you can drive POS car on the track, but if you don't know how, then it's not the cars fault that it gets crashed.

@YamahaYZFR6RJ05 - Where did I say that the car had any issues? I'm sure it would pass TUV if it had to. In fact it did in August. Yes a lot of the cars here are shitboxes, but sadly Bulgaria is still the poorest country in the EU and people can't afford to buy new and safe.
In many of the states here in the US most of what you had to go through would have to be done here as well. Obviously we drive on the same side of the road regardless of state so no light or mirror changes, but with the emissions tests and such it can be a big hassle. One other thing that is interesting is taking cars from one state to another and getting registration. If you live in Georgia for example and want to buy a car in Florida (one state away) you actually have to pay a big fee for bring the car into the state. Our typical registration fee is around $56 US, but add the additional fee and it will cost over $400 for the first time registration.

Actually, having exported quite a number of cars from Europe to the States, I can say that there are still a lot of issues that have to be dealt with, including changing rear lights, presence colours of side reflectors, turn indicators etc, making sure the engine is in the US engine database and that the fuel tank is pressurised. It is expensive and only worth doing for something really special.

I am sure that this is the case for importing from a foreign country, but I was referring to just moving a vehicle from state to state inside the US.

My memories of TUV time are not good. It's every 2 years, but a lot more thorough than (say) the UK. The suspension test is a good one, like a vibrating plate. Tim will be able to fix the handbrake - it's easy on the E36. Back to the scrap yard for an exhaust with cat?

What's UP with that white 4 door up behind u?
That actually doesn't sound to bad. Fortunately those inspections are not needed where I am, at least not yet. But I am sure they will be eventually. Importing cars, even ones made by the same manufactures that are already selling cars there can be a swamp of red tape and paperwork.
That exhaust isn't that rice afaik. Looks a lot like what I put on my car and it's not that much louder. TBH I used that to replace broken exhaust
I would love a scrappers challange loved that show told you already scrap is fun.... I dont get why is so difficult to register foreighn car in europe there is a common market thing like this should be ease especially for a small coutry like mine its almost imposibble fo get some interesting pieces here common market with europe (especially germany ) would make much cheaper and accesibke used car it took me 6 month to find my avensis while in germany there are lots of them with better trim shape and history they are even cheaper

Does a magnetic sump plug have any benefit if the engine is all aluminium? Unless if cylinder liners are steel/iron alloy for some reason?

an e36 with a working handbrake .. never bought one with a good handbrake ahha .. from the teeth on the handbrake lever to the brake lines stretched etc etc etc .. they are shocking from factory
No, it doesn't make cents, because it has the stearingwheel at the wrong side!

What scrap yard is that?? I went to one near the track last summer looking for some E36 bit's, it was really small didn't have much luck.
14:37 why difficult? When buying a car the COC has to be with it.
What is a COC and how much did it cost. I tried to register my UK Car in Germany but I was told I would need to pay import tax. And for a 12 years old car they told me it could cost 3k.. more than the car was worth.
Nice to see what need to be done to get the car streetlegal but why did you go to TÜV for the emission test? You can do that in any workshop that can read out error codes on the car and get that certificate. If you bring this to TÜV inspection they don't check it anymore. I got the emissions certificate without actually turning the engine on if you know what I mean 😉😊

It`s true, that the emmission test can be done at any workshop, that has available the equipment for that. But at older cars the test is not done by just reading out the error memory, which is for cars with emmission standard up from Euro 4, I think. At older cars really has to be done the measuring procedure at the exhaust pipe, at TÜV or prepared workshop.

Here is some good video, to show how you can adjust that handbrake kzread.info/dash/bejne/h2d2pq2SnqvRk7g.html, you can "test" it your hands..I do this in my work. So when you have adjust that handbrake, you put that wheel back, then turn it by hands...When that is not roll then it is tight, also you can hear when it is too tight when it lags, then you can also test. When you have adjust that handbrake, but wheels in, but first gear and handbrake on then try to drive, if not moving it is good, but you need to be careful not to burn cluth
