The 328i also includes 17-inch wheels and Xenon adaptive headlights with integral cornering lights; its base $43,600 price is $500 over the 325Ci it replaces. The 328xi coupe includes all-wheel drive and will retail for $46,100.

Wow, that really is a bargain. I've been reading in various forums how people are complaining that the 335i will roll out of the dealerships at at least $40 (US), which is quite expensive for a 3 series.

Canadian dollar has been strong over the past year. $40,000 USD is an even better deal for Canadians if converted at the rate of 1.12. its about $45,000 CAD. Thats almost $6,000 off the listed!

Anyone know how to import an American car into Canada?

I was just browsing some prices, and there is a huge discrepency for the caymen S. in canada its $85,000 CAD, but in US its $58,000 USD! some serious arbitrage can be made here if i can figure out the logistics and the financing.

And taxes of course.

Dealer financing is practically impossible, so you need to buy it cash.

Most of the cost comes when the [new] car you buy from the US does not meet Canadian regulations (everything from having a speedometer in km, emissions, to safety). Most US cars are built to slightly different regulations and it can be very expensive and time consuming to comply with Canadian regulations.

There are also some manufacturers that will not honour the US warranty in Canada (and the same in the US on Canadian warranties) so you can face additional exposure there.
