M235i Canada vs. US ordering differences
Based on both configurators, I have come up with the following order differences (please add more if you find them):
CDN Freight/PDI: $2,095; US: $925 Update: it appears lumbar support is available in the US, but only as part of a package. So with current .90 CDN dollar, in USD Canadian car totals $42,322 vs $44,025 for US car. Last edited by Devon K; 03-08-2014 at 01:32 PM.. |

Price wise we also pay a 6.1% duty on the car . supposedly this CETA free trade with Europe is to get rid of this tariff eventually. Also look at the ED deals they get on msrp % off!

Although my 128 is only 7 months old, I love the new 2 and can't wait to get one. Now that both the 228 and m235 are turbo, it boils down to the sunroof... I hope there is a sunroof delete option on the M235 in a year or 2 or else I'm going for the 228i Narayan |

That 6.1% is costed into the MSRP - it's not an added fee the purchaser has to pay, it's a cost to the manufacturer.

Just updated the comparison with the standard Dakota leather in Canada which is optional at $1450 in the US.
The Canadian car is looking like a reasonable deal for once vis a vis US pricing. If you add up all the price differences for the added/missing components in the first post, there is $1050 in extra value (admittedly calculated in mixed currencies) in the base manual Canadian car (pricing the extended IP display at $200). Value is a bit lower than the US version for the auto though. But then the Canadian car also costs about $2k US less. If you want a manual with no sunroof, it's a relative bargain here. |

For once we don't get screwed on car pricing here! Anyone done a similar comparison worth the 228 with M Sport - US vs Canada ?

Never thought I'd see the day where we actually get a better deal than the US. I wonder if we have the best deal in the world right now. Usually the US is the cheapest place to buy a BMW.

Yah, but don't forget to factor in the $2700 we get dinged for freight, PDI and Admin fee (not to mention the 13% HST).

the U.S. EPA has become an enforcement/advocacy arm for Marxist radical environmentalists. They despise liberty and free market economies, and they are in charge at the federal level. Thus they continue to come up with ways to advance said agenda.
Canadian PM Harper better understands that free markets and trade are needed for prosperity vs. Obama who loathes such ideas and liberty. The oppressive boot on our neck pushes down a littler harder each day and thus we squirm even more. Something will give eventually... Maybe buy one less option on your M235/228 and buy a M4 carbine. |
