Thank you for your reply. Well I will be buying the vehicle in Germany and then exporting it to Macedonia, since that's where I live now. At first I was looking for a strictly new car, however when I looked more into the EUROPlus warranty (1 year) which is covered with the same standards as a new vehicle and can be used in any BMW Dealership across Europe including Macedonia. So I said why not look for a used car with the EUROPlus warranty.
So export to outside of the EU?https://www.adac.de/.../default.aspx?...
So ask your dealer if that export license plate would make sense in your case and what it would cost that you can just sit into the car and drive it to Macedonia (not neceassary if it's transported like on a trailer/truck). If you want to do it by yourself, you'll need good German language skills.
That export plate is for least 15 days, max. 1 year. You have to pay the annual German car tax (normally you pay for 1 year and get money back for each day you de-registered it earlier, probably for export you have to say how many days you want and have to pay exactly for that days before getting the plates) and an special insurance. The ADAC (Germany's most popular automobile club) offers it starting with 80EUR/15 days. But there're probably others.
The annual German car tax is:
If the (Euro) standard is better than Euro 3 or D3 (so like Euro 4, 5, 6, ...) and the car is first-time registered July 1st, 2009 or later:
Engine displacement:
Otto engine (fuel): 2EUR/100cm³
Diesel engine: 9,50EUR/100cm³
Eg. Otto with 1501...1600cm³ costs 32EUR/year and Otto with 1601...1700cm³ costs 34EUR/year.
Plus:
CO2 in g/km according to NEDC (German: NEFZ):
For both Otto and Diesel annually 2EUR per CO2 in g/km, but the "first CO2 g/km" is for free (but the result of this part is never <0EUR, even your car has only like 80g CO2/km):
July 1st, 2009 - end of 2011: 120g/km
2012-2013: 110g/km
Since 2014: 95g/km

So I started comparing the vehicles:
[...]
Maintenance cost: Aren't the parts for the 430D and the 640D approximately the same price? I mean they are both new cars and they should both be expensive to maintain?
Did you try to use http://werkstatt.autoscout24.de/ to find that out? Ok, German prices, but the tendency should be the same?
I'm not that familiar with BMW, maybe somebody else will write something.

Well I am not really worried about the exporting part. I have a company here that for a fee they will purchase the car, register it on the Yellow Export Plates, import it by driving it here, register it on Macedonian plates, ready for use. They can also get me the tax return but they told me the car has to be from a BMW Niederlassung.
So I have that covered 🙂
