Taking the X to Brazil

Well I am at 205,420miles and I think its time to retire my X5 in Brazil.
My wife and I are visiting her family down here and she says she wantes to stay for a while.

Do you guys know how I would start going about shipping my X down there?

Does any one have any experience with this?

Are there highways in Mexico?

Do a search for international cargo companies that provide roll-on/roll-off shipping of cars overseas. Depending on which city you want to ship to in Brazil, you will have to drive or deliver your X5 to the cargo company in a corresponding exit port in here in the US. Most likely will be either Miami, Tampa, or Baltimore. Shipping to Latin America will probably take a few weeks.
