I'm unlikely to consider importing, particularly as BMW ensure that it is a hassle and that the savings are minimized.

Their only concern is to squeeze as much out Canadians as they can, and yet they don't want to admit that. Bottom line is that pound for pound we pay more than in the US. If it HAS TO BE THAT WAY for sound economic reasons, then so be it. But at least extend to the reasonably well educated, well established market in Canada the courtesy of an honest explanation. Not the half-assed sales pitch you'd expect from a used car peddler...
