    Anyone have any idea what extras cost might be incurred for vrt'ing a fully loaded (19's, tv, sat nav etc.) 2003 e46 M3?

    VRT goes on the open market selling price of the car mate. It could be lined with gold and it wouldn't effect what the VRT will be.

    I am open to correction on this, but I think they depreciate the extras over 4 years on the cost of the extras in the Irish Market.
    Imported an 08 bmw and it had a pack of extras on it that was 300 Sterling in the UK, they charged me VRT on 950 as this would be the individual cost of the extras here, there was no equivalent pack in the Irish market. AS your car is over 4 years old you would pay VRT on the model of the car, but not on any extras.

    I am open to correction if anyone has experience of another situation.

    Yes be careful with this one. The vrt office can check a BMW database against your chassis number and see what extras were put into the car from the factory. They will charge you accordingly then. Get the chassis number and get the vrt office to check it for you and get an official quote over the telephone or in writing.

    Previous poster you are right, they checked the chassis no of my car wth BMW, they did not inspect the car except to confirm the mileage and chassis no.

    It seems they generally only charge you for extras on cars 3 years and younger. You should be fine.

    When i VRT'd my 2003 M3 they didn't even ask about any extras.
