Sure, but the ID.3 doesn't??

Why would VW spend the money to do the homologation or certification to meet our vehicle standards for a car that they aren't going to sell here? They won't and they haven't.

I worked with a guy that actually bought a package that included a trip to the BMW factory to pick up his car (airline, hotel, the works), drive to around Europe, and then ship it to the US. All-inclusive package on a European BMW, to the best of my knowledge.

BMW doesn't have any factories in the US. All the BMW models that are sold in the US are already imported, so BMW did go through the expense of designing for US standards for those models. No VW ID.3s are sold in the US.
