Moving to San Diego From Canada
Dear All,
I'm Mike from Canada. I got myself a 2005 MINI Cooper this year. I'll be moving to San Diego soon and I really want to bring the MINI with me. Does anyone have an idea if this year and model will be compliant with todays California DMV standards/regulations?
I found a sticker under the hood saying this:

Welcome to San Diego! If you are coming to get away from the cold, you're coming to the right place! I don't even own a jacket. I only were short sleeve shirts. Yes, California is probably more expensive, but I'm willing to pay the California "tax" for the weather!
I wouldn't worry about the DMV fees...In January my fees were $194. I can't imagine yours would be any more than that.

I was only referring to the annual registration fee. I did find ALL of the information you need on the DMV website. It looks like there's quite a bit of paperwork needed!
