Default Is importing a euro-spec mb to the usa realistic?

Though I love my W210 sedan... I would love even more to shift gears... I would love much more if that gear shifting could occur in a W210 station wagon.... Did Europe sell this combo? How does one go about getting a Euro-Spec car into the USA without paying stupid amounts of money? ANY INFO would be intriguing... Thanks in advance.

All imports need to be done by a registered importer and you can figure well upwards of $10k after you've bought a car and had it shipped - and that is assuming that it is on the list. If it isn't on the list then it needs to be crash tested - figure a second car at a minimum.

Default You have my attention

Forced,
Now you're talking. Can you tell me who you would go about researching etc... to see if this is a possibility? I don't even know where to start but I do have a great indie MB shop that would do the work... if I could get the parts etc... Wow... that would be a dream come true to shift gears on my W210 chassis....
