BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - View Single Post - How to import a BMW into Canada without getting rear ended

First post.
I have a line on a very well equipped 2011 535i sport pack. Price has been set, most of the negotiations have been resolved. I am stuck with getting either a Recall Letter or a Warranty Inquiry Report. I am dumbfounded that BMW would make it this difficult for fans of their product to buy it. BMW Canada will issue one (for $500.00) only after the car hits Canadian soil which is counter intuitive to the RIV's mandate that the Recall Letter be presented upon import.
Does anyone know of any friendly BMW shops that would assist me with getting either document.

Thank you in advance.
