LVP, lots of lower mileage 8 cylinder E53's down south - for example, look at the Atlanta Craigs List postings, or do a cars.com search. I know nothing about importing them across the border, which would seem to me to be the big issue, and you would want to do the cold weather CCV fixes before a winter above the 49th parallel . . . The search tool has been glitchy [for me] lately, but I seem to recall detailed posts about import reqs to CA . . .
