If the math doesn't make sense to you for whichever car you are looking at, then don't do it. I am guessing that at 1.25 plus 6% duty on German made cars and other fees, it won't make sense vs. buying in Canada.

A couple of other things to consider.
US warranty is much better than Canadian
US speedometer is in both metric and US measurements
Much better selection at US dealers
US dealers actually want to sell you a car
With todays exchange rate, the savings are not as good as they were when we bought our car, but you can still save some money, and if you buy a Bimmer made in their Carolina plant, there is no import duty. Because there is no BMW factory in Canada, the low dollar has pushed the Canadian prices up.
