I do and I don't agree with your statement. Fact of the matter is that an M3 is a niche vehicle to begin with. I would argue that a lot of the people looking to buy an M3 are enthusiasts (IMHO especially those in the used car market), and as a result, its a niche market in addition to being a niche vehicle. I think someone looking for a good M3 (i.e. with the options they want) won't have an issue with buying an American M3 that was imported.
On the other hand, you're probably less likely to sell to the car to a Canadian who isn't an enthusiast, but might be on the fence about buying an American M3 versus a Canadian 335 (my point being that if the M3 were Canadian they may be more enticed to purchase it).
