Well that ended up being way easier than I thought. Took left Chicago Noon on Wednesday, picked u that car at 5:30pm, reached the border around 9pm, Took 30mins to complete paperwork and on we went.
Stayed the night in Port Huron before getting back to Chicago just after Noon. |

Sunset Orange Metallic is a great color, even more so in bright sun.
Enjoy!!!!

I thought I was having a great day when I was able to enable TPMS system today (was not a option original on the car but only needed software coding to make it operational.)
But got an even better surprise. The car has the MPPSK option installed! I had no idea that the car had that installed. Which may seem strange but it was not mention in the dealer paperwork, at we never really looked at the car when we picked it up. We just wanted to get going! It makes our good deal that little bit better! Last edited by SunzOut; 01-20-2019 at 10:01 PM.. |

I bought Winter setup with TPMS, with the hope that the research was correct and the TPMS hardware was installed in the car, and it just needed enabled. |

Looks terrific Robin! Aside from color and MPPK we have the same car. 6MT I assume?

Certainly with an older car I could see issues but with the newer cars and Digital cluster everything is just fine. No issues with Metric values - all just iDrive changes. SiriusXM is working just fine Connected drive is working as well, as far as I can see. Not really used much but the weather is up to date, connected drive app works as well. BMW confirmed the Warranty updated to US version this week. Local DMV was no harder than any other title I've applied for and The border crossing in person (Minus first failed attempt), was really pretty easy. Certainly a lot of moving parts to the whole import process but in the end I think I got a really good deal on a really nice car. |

Question so I’m trying to do the same looking for a specific spec on f31 sport wagon and in Ontario seems to offer more then USA market so to understand clearly beside the obvious change the cluster and etc. all I need is the special permit to drive it across will I need the letter from bmw still or will it be label on vehicle somewhere? Was it cheaper then the broker doing it yourself and what was cost at border? Thanks in advance for the reply….
