Canadian prices as of April 14, 2008:

X6 xDrive 35i: $63,900
X6 xDrive 50i: $78,100 (available late summer)

Packages:
Technology Package: $3,100 (included in the 50i)
Premium Package: $2,200
Sport Package: $2,200 (includes 20-inch wheels)

All other packages are the same as for the X5:
Activity Package: $1,300
Premium Sound Package: $2,000
Rear Climate Package: $1,200

Individual options include:
Active Steering: $1,500 (same as X5)
Auto tailgate: $600
Manual side sunshades: $250 (same as the X5)
SIRIUS: $650
Rear Entertainment: $1,950 (same as X5)
USB: $350 (same as X5)
Comfort Seats: $1,000 (same as X5)

Base price includes the cold weather package ($900 option in the US). The base vehicle must include something in the US Sport Package, because their price for the package is $3,600, plus another $950 for 20-inch wheels. (But on further investigation, it turns out Adaptive Drive is included with the US Sport Package and isn't mentioned in my Canadian material -- maybe that's why the difference in price.)

The Canadian list makes no mention of active ventilated seats, soft close doors, or heads up display. I don't know whether this means these things are not offered or just not included in the initial price sheet.

There is an interesting item called 'ZSP -- Special Orders' at $400 "administrative fee for ordering special colours, interiors, or equipment". There is no further explanation.

If I am correct in deducing that the Canadian vehicles have some $3,300 of equipment as standard over and above US vehicles, then Canadian prices are about 15-percent above US. Our dollars are pretty much at par. Go figure.

Don't forget to add in $1,000 to $2,000 "green" tax, freight and PDI of typically $1,500 to $2,000, "mandatory dealer charges" (invisible bra, so-called documentation fee, etc.), and you've built yourself a nice expensive vehicle!
