I think others have said it all. About the only people from the US I know who ship their cars are Forces personnel, but for them it's viable because the military sorts it for them. Central London comes with it's own challenges for car owners too, such as parking issues. Depending on how long you are coming to the UK for I would sell/store your 335i and buy here. Go on the BMW uk web site and you can search on all used cars in the dealer network to get an idea of a replacement. Alternatively, you could join a car club or rent something 'nice' when you need it. I may be wrong, but I think you can drive for up to a year on your US licence. I'm sure a search on the DVLA. Web site will confirm (Driver and Vehicle Licencing Authority).
