Assuming a 50k USD sale price, today it will cost you $50112 if you purchase your forex from http://www.canadianforex.ca (that's who I used).

So the only addtional fees are a minor forex premium, and RIV fees of $164 (if I remember correctly). Get the dealer to give you a warranty inquiry, program your DRL permanently on (You can do it yourself). Get your car inspected at Canadian Tire (RIV's federal inspection station), and you can have it plated without ever having to visit a local BMW dealer.

Its totally worth it to buy in the US.
You are correct. I forgot our X5's were US made...lol.
