Why less in January, I wonder?

I'm guessing near $95-$100K (including GST + PST - ouch that provincial sales tax will hurt some) in Canada if you get it loaded with extra rims and winter tires, etc. This wouldn't be too much of a stretch from the E46M3. I think there will be a lot of them sold in Canada (the waiting list in Calgary alone is 40+). We'll wait and see but I think I will delay my purchase one year to see what unfolds from driver's experiences (can't forget the first year of the E46).
I wonder if the extra torque at lower revs will significantly change the winter driving.

Why did they bury their brand new M3 under a bunch of plants? Dutch are strange people indeed.

95-100K damn, you might as well cross the boarder and buy on in the states since the CD is so close to the dollar right now.

My guess for less in January is because orders are now being taken for the US M3's. The 41 Canadian orders were placed back in August. The US did have order info until about 2 months after Canada did.

+1...but then i guess he'd have to drive to the states everytime he needed warranty related service, right?

A friend of mine did just that for the RS4 - and top-ticked the loonie at ~ CAD/USD = 1.08.

Total savings ~ CAD 30k!

Don't think so. If validly imported should be covered in N. America.
