It's like 20 grand cheaper these days when you buy it in the US - there are no duties, so you can just drive it home and pay the tax at the border - same tax you would pay if you bought locally, but you just paid 20 grand less for the car. It is pretty easy to do and is why so many people are doing it - BMW has been trying to stop it, dealers in Canada are giving people with US cars grief on service - they cannot refuse you, but can make you wait longer, provide no loaners etc. I don't think the maintenance has to be covered either, but the 4 oil changes a a pair of brake pads they do in 4 years doesn't add up to that much. They are trying to tell US dealers not to sell out of the country, but most ignore them and since you need to have it paid for to import it, the dealer just does the deal takes your money and gives you the car - you could make up an address for all they will know!
