Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available
The BMW M340i G21 is approved for import to Australia under the SEVS Performance Criterion. Each example carries a Turbocharged engine, a automatic gearbox, and all-wheel drive. We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection where possible, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This BMW M340i G21 is approved for import to Australia under SEVS approval SEV-000632, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 2 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000809 and MRE-000907 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SHUI MIR PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Mar 2019 to Feb 2025.
Why qualified — Performance Criterion. Approvals granted under the SEVS Performance Criterion apply to vehicles that demonstrate a substantially superior performance specification — for example, power-to-weight, acceleration, or another measurable performance metric — compared with vehicles supplied to the Australian market in volume. Eligibility is build-specific: the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval are the binding reference.
How Carbarn runs this import. Carbarn sources 3/2019 to 7/2026 BMW M340i examples through our Japanese partners, with build-sheet and auction-grade verification before any bid is placed. Once won, the vehicle is shipped via roll-on/roll-off freight, cleared through Australian customs, treated under biosecurity rules, and prepared for compliance at our Sydney workshop. The Approved Vehicle Verifier inspection and RAV entry are completed in-house, and you receive the vehicle with paperwork ready for state-level registration.
