So, I think we can agree that the resale market for a grey market US import is a niche market, and hence, the potential punters are fewer, thereby taking a US M3 possibly longer to sell than a comparable Canadian model. Just a thought....
I think too, the differences are region specific. Consumers in more affluent provinces (read Alberta) are, in my opinion at least, less likely to settle especially for a caliber of vehicle like the M3, and would rather pay for exactly what they want without the taboo associated with some imported vehicles. Yes, I know, "a fool and his money are easily parted" but this has been my experience having bought and sold a dozen vehicles in as many years, a few of which were imports too.
