I am fairly certain that you have to sign a document stating that you will not register the car outside Canada for 1 year.in_d_haus said:

Since our friends in the great white north get more options than us US people why don't we buy our cars there? Federalization rules? I know when the PT loser was hot on the hit list dealers were recommending people go to Canada because they were not selling as well there.
Anyone know the ins and outs of purchasing a car in Canada and licensing it here in the good 'ol US of A?

It's not like buying a car involves a background check. Say you have family in Canada and use that address as your billing address. "If the cash is there we do not care" is pretty much the truth to automotive salesatyclb said:
But you're from Canada
Well, a lot of US M3 buyers HAVE been able to special order colors at least, but not nearly the extensive options that the ROW gets.Ripsnort said:aldo, the question came up with a "Custom Paint" email 'tween Haus and I..looking for ways to get what WE, the USA residents want for a choice of colors, not what the dictatorship of BMWNA wants us to have.![]()
JP if you "build a car" on www.bmw.ca and www.bmwusa.com and look at the standard features you will notice that Canadian cars have more standard features at a lower cost.JPinTO said:WHat more options? The only E46 thing I'm aware of other than the individual program are:
330CI & CIC has the M-Sport Pkg
Our option package content is different, but sometimes worse than the US. The 330i SP does not come with an M-Aero, it looks the exact same as a 325i.
BMW & MB are supposed to get the customer to sign the non-export agreement, but in reality, it doesn't seem like many do. Now, of course, if you show up at the dealership with your Washington license and ask them to sell you a car, they may not.

But I'm sure it evns out in the wash.... for instance, I'm sure the US 330's get DSC standard... we have to pay for it. I'd happily pay for my xenons to get the M-Aero pkg for FREE!Clem said:

I.E. xenons on 330 and M3s and sunroofs on M3 coupes. etc.....
How are you going to get your taxes back? 7% GST and 7.5% PST.in_d_haus said:Hey, my GF has dual citizenship, Canada/USA. If we buy it in her name and use her family address there.... then change it in a year to me......
Ta DA!
