Check out bmw.ca for a good laugh

Click on the "The Ultimate Driving Experience - The benefits of a Canadian-specification BMW" link. I especially like DRL BS as it relates to the E9X. Another knee slapper is the many extra features that Canadian spec vs US spec cars get to justify the price difference in the two countries.

yup... it's hilarious....
i guess this is easier than to figure out how to actually close the price gap....

There would have to be an extra car as an added feature to justify the price differences:

335i base MSRP (all prices in CAD)

Price in US: $39,050
Price in Canada: $51,600


Loaded 335i MSRP (all prices in CAD)

Price in US: $53,176
Price in Canada: $68,750

So BMW...now that both cars are loaded...exactly how do you justify $15,574 ? And that's just a 3 series...wait till you price out X5s or 7 series.

did u include the fact that you can probably buy $1.05 USD using $1 CAD in your math.... if not, then the US prices is gonna be 5% cheaper and will almost offset the 6.1% import duties..haha...
