Unless you have purchased an export model, there is a possibility it cannot be imported to the US under any circumstances.
I believe you have to check with US customs, and NHTSA for starters, on which vehicles are permissable, and can be retrofitted to US regulatons.

You probably need to talk to someone in Germany who knows what they're talking about instead of here. German emmission requirements may be more stringent that the US and no change would be necessary or it might be the other way around and a different computer with the correct fuel mapping would be required. You might also find out if a personal vehicle is required to meed US requirements or if it's only for vehicles for resale.

CALL THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURE AND ASK THEM, I SURE THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OR STEER YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
YOU CAN ALSO CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DMV OFFICE, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU WILL BE GETTING THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.
