NHTSA Receives Petition for Importation of Nonconforming BMW 3 Series Cars

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received a petition requesting that 1999 and 2001 BMW 3 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 that were originally certified for importation and can be easily modified to meet US safety standards.
