The DarK Side ....
Some great info here!
After spending time in Argentina one thing I learned was that "certain" well connected people are in a position to do "not strictly legal" things regards importation of vehicles. This especially true for individuals in the military, police, diplomatic service and those with connections high in the corporate world.
Ever noticed how many nice Mercedes you see there? Do you think all the owners paid full import tax on them? Unlikely. As much as govts try to change, corruption is endemic in Latin America and Argentina is no exception.
If you find a buyer your worries are over. Collect the cash (US Dollars) and go. The bike and getting it "legal" or quasi-legal is now the buyers problem. With a BMW you are likely to attract a well connected and well off clientele who know well how to "Fix" things ... for themselves.
No one is going to talk to you about "details" about this. You don't need to know. Just collect your money and go. The buyer will get a bike for less than Half of what he would pay in Argentina. Only the govt loses ... and in turn the Argentine people. You decide.
