I'm on the left coast and the car will be new, so first registration will be on Cdn soil. Not sure BC's rules on the disclosure piece, but if I'm first owner, hopefully this will negate any issues on history.
I hear you though - it's an unknown and a possible perception issue for a future buyer.
I'm weighing all the pros and cons - it's just hard to overlook the savings even after the import and conversion costs, and the fact that I can't find an M3 in Western Canada I want other than the Editions and they are overpriced.
There are literally hundreds (500 + on a search today) of
new '10s on BMW dealer lots throughout the US so the selection is much better, and my impatience is getting the better of me.
I'll have to work on that
