Received some pricing information from the dealership yesterday. The MSRP for European Delivery, or "Tourist Prcing", as it was listed are:

2006 325i with 6MT
Canadian Retail $39,900
Tourist Pricing $36,700

2006 330i with 6MT
Canadian Retail $47,500
Tourist Pricing $43,700

However, there are a lot of extra costs that the purchaser is responsible for and they are:

-Import Duty of 6.1%
$2238 for 325i
$2666 for 330i
-Car insurance while you're in Germany.
The sample list that he showed me ranged from $240 to $620 (1 month) for a 3 series in 2002 (I think it was 2002)
-Shipping from Europe to Canada.
The rates are different, depending on your drop-off point in Europe. The breakdown:

Inland Freight to port 0-$1150. Munich is $250, Naples (Italy) is $1150
European port handling $240
Marine Insurance $215
Ocean Freight $270
Canadian Broakerage $180
Port of Halifax Terminal and Loading Charges $60
Agriculture Canada Inspection $30
Onward Rail Transport $800

That adds up to $2000 or more for shipping. For comparison, the Freight and Pre-delivery preparation for the Calgary dealership is $1800.

So, at ED MSRP, the savings will be less than $1000 after you pay the extra fees. Add to that the cost of plane ticket, etc and you'd have negotiate a chunk off of the Tourist Price to break-even



special thanks to Airboy for all the candian pricing and options information !!!
