Sad but true
BMW Canada is making it VERY difficult to import a car from the U.S.A.
Here is what you need:
- Letter of admissibility $350
(you MUST have this letter BEFORE you bring the car across the border)
- Recall clearance letter $500
- Activate daytime-running-lights- (included with cluster replacement)
- Metric conversion- (included with cluster replacement)
- Instrument cluster- $1230 pre tax parts and $375 pre tax lab
This is based on my real-life experience with a 2007 BMW 335i sedan. (It was still worth the aggravation however.)
Do your homework and call two or three dealerships to get a quote on making the car Canadian compliant. (Apparently it is even worse for a 5 series car.)
At some point they (BMW Canada) piss you off enough to do a U.S. deal with minimal savings.
Good luck!
