USA to canada purchase?

Needbmwpartzz · 03-10-2014, 02:23 AM

Any vendors in Canada selling aa exhaust,wanted to save a few bucks over the pe but I'm not sure the taxes and duties/brokerage/courier fees will inflate the price as it goes though customs.
Anyone from canada have experience with buying this from USA?
Thx in advance.

Ever thought about getting a mailbox in either Buffalo or Port Huron? They are free. Ship it to there and then go pick it up. They charge a small fee. Do a search on shipping mailboxes in either city.

I'm looking for an exhaust but shipping and duties is a killer!

You guys carry any exhaust for the n52 ? I know your site dosent list any.

bobblehead · 03-10-2014, 12:44 PM

try alpha motorsports, I find his price is very good. (Well, at least for Eisenmann exhaust a few months back). But he does not do install, you will have to source out your own shop to get it installed.

I live in Victoria bc on the other side of most of you and Mike from n54 was awesome , I highly recommend. Answer all my questions within 24hrs sometime within 5min via emails. And shipped the product right away. I ordered a cobb v3 and BMS dci.. Came within a week. Just saving for a vrsf FMIC and DP 's

dont bother trying and getting something from the states... may be easier and cheaper to get it locally or from another province. Are you getting AA exhaust or PE?

I wanted the AA as it seemed like a less expensive option but it looks like the PE is what I will get.
My local bmw wants 1300 just for the exhaust(not even installed)......seems like such a rip off!
Any recommendations?

bomiheko · 03-22-2014, 03:02 PM

$1300CAD for PE is a steal in canada. Most are charging way more. Considering it's around $1-1.3k in US and our dollar sucks.

Ye 1300 is a steal. I paid 1383 cdn taxes in and that was with a membership discount. So if your getting it for 1300 I would snatch a few up and make a quick buck.

Kid Eh · 03-25-2014, 09:38 AM

Rocco at RMP installed the PE on my previous car. Great work.

itrocks4u · 03-25-2014, 09:55 AM

$1100 or less is a steal. $1300 is average deal. All dealers have different prices. Make sure to call a few.

e90thomas · 03-25-2014, 10:01 AM

Town & Country Bmw is having a special on performance exhaust until end of march. I got my pe (328i) for 1142 tax included and had it installed by ivo. Contact steven at town and country bmw parts.

With the current USD/CAD exchange rate, you may not save much. You might even end up paying more actually
