I am wondering what problems I am going to encounter when getting parts for my Euro "85" 240D. I am not complaining but I have not had to do anything but maintance stuff like valve adjustment, check chain stretch, fix minor vacuum leaks, and replace the clock. I pick up little hints off the forum now and then about things that are a different size or some how different between the Euro and US cars. Any advice on what to look out for before I get into something that I assume is gona be routine and find the part is N/A in the US ? Also are the "import police" gona notice the Euro bumpers and bust me, and those adjustable headlights gota be worth a slap on the wrist.. Anyone ever get busted? When I went to get it covered by my Allstate insurance the agent gave me the impression it would take a little "finagling" to square it away, which he did. Anyway I am not loosing allot of sleep over this, just thought there may be a few things about "gray market" cars that would be good to know.

Have a good friday all
