I have twice ordered new RHD BMWs from Europe, flown out to Frankfurt, and Eurostar to Brussels to collect. Both times on 20th December, which allows you to register in the UK as a new year car. In fact you (at least you used to) find a precession of nice RHD cars being driven back to the UK on that date.
In the UK two of mine, including the 335d, have come from dealers 300 miles away. They just happened to have a new car available in the right spec which saved the wait.
