another "good deal" or not thread

[nynd]

You can buy new as a Canadian and import it, you just need to find the right dealer to sell it to you - lol! Also, BMW in Canada will need to "bless it" by performing some upgrades if you want to keep your warranty intact. Estimate a $4 to $5K.

[Dr_Smith]

have you found such a dealer? The blessing can be done in many ways, without the $4-$5K hit...

We bought a 9 month old '11 35d in Feb of '12. Excellent/as new condition. 11k miles. Options pretty close to how I would have ordered. Has 3rd row, sport, 20's but not the tech type options. I shopped daily via Autotempest. Paid a bit under $50k. Sticker was about 64k.

It must be at auction or something else wrong. Where is the car being sold from ? Looking at cars.com there are only 7 '11 50i's in the whole country under $60K and those are stripped down ones.
