Its easy really, they take out the back seat, slap a metal floor all the way to the trunk, and put on yellow plates on it (that means its a loading vehicle and not a passenger vehicle)

Ron Jeremy: Wouldn't it be much cheaper to buy a diesel one in germany and just drive it to norway ??

I don't think cheap, is a word i would use in this matter
The thing is, a X5 is much cheaper in US, than in Germany, the marked is so much bigger, so one can really pick the "one", if you know what i mean?

But then i'll have to settle for a 3.0i, which is not a bad alternative, but aftermarked for such a SAV in Norway is minor, our marked are screaming for a diesel engine in these kind of cars.
So i guess i'll wait for E70 to hit the marked, and then buy a facelift 04 model of E53.



Btw, Denmark and Norway have very similar, or shall i say, dumb taxes, so a SUV are suffering heavy because of this.
In Sweden, cars cost half of what it does on Norway and Denmark.

I don't know how it is in Norway - but if I understand it right about importing cars to Denmark you get quoted an estimated worth of the car when registrering it, and then you are taxed the 180%, or however much it is, on that amount. Don't know if it is done the same in Norway - but it might be something to look into. Then again - I could be mistaken in everything i say ... listening to me is a little like gambling I supose

Funny side note - because the taxes are so high in Denmark, the dealers sell the cars at very cheap base prices to compensate (a little) for the Tax. That means it is cheaper for, say a German, to buy a car in Denmark and take it to Germany, than to buy it in Germany. Since they dont have the same luxury taxation-nonsense, and since they don't pay the tax for registrering it in Denmark they end up saving money.
