NHTSA Receives Petition for Importation of Nonconforming BMW 5 Series Cars

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received a petition requesting that 1990-1995 BMW 5 Series passenger cars, which do not meet all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards, be allowed to be imported into the US. The petition argues that these vehicles are substantially similar to those originally certified for US sale and can be modified to meet safety standards.
