What a steaming load of PR bull@#$ from that BMW rep. They don't pay the taxes on the car - we do. And as if BMW gives a flying f@#* about the lower residuals and pissed-off owners. The costs of selling a BMW in the large populated areas of Canada which contain about 80% of the Canadian population - namely the Greater Horsehoe and SW BC plus Montreal and maybe Calgary, and where virtually all BMWs would be bought in Canada anyways - would be little different from US costs. How much does it cost to have marketing materials translated into French? And if selling cars at a lower price so badly hurts BMW's image why are they selling their cars more cheaply in the US, which is a much bigger and more important market for them?

Stop insulting our intelligence, BMW. IF the price differences with the States are too great, (9K+) I'll forego warranty and buy in the US.
