No customs are levied on goods travelling within the EU and members of the EU impose a common external tariff on all goods entering the union. So if we leave the EU everything we sell to the EU will be more expensive buy (result - reduced exports). Your BMW would also be more expensive as the UK would apply a tariff on imports to encourage you to buy British.
If you've ever bought a valuable item from outside the EU you'll have seen this in action - a letter from the post office telling you that there is a VAT (and possible duty charge) to pay on your item.
58% of our exports and 53% of our imports are with the EU - we need to be inside.
