German Export plates "Ausfuhrkennzeichen"
I'm re-posting this as a new thread as I am keen to get this sorted out in the next few days, my africa trip hangs on this it seems now.
I'm getting a new 1200GSA and need German export plates for this US spec bought by a US owner (Me!). I am buying it from military sales and want to do the long way down to get home in the USA (by flight from cape town)
the BMW dealer has offered me export plates but only for 3 months. other posts on the HUBB suggest that german export plates can be had for up to a year. I need 8 months. Is this a new rule in germany, is the dealer just wrong, can i take their 3 month plates and extend them to 8 months?
I think African borders will care if my plates are expired, I'd like to get USA plates but not at the cost of flying my bike home and back!
Suggestions?
(PS I learned that the CAA will do a carnet for a german export plate vehicle for a US owner)
