Congratulations.
What tyres did you get in the end? They look like Conti SC2s, but I can't quite read the tyrewall lettering in your picture.
I too love the M-sport steering wheel - I've just got to get one of those (waiting for Hobi's web site to launch).
So what's your first mod going to be? :-)

Can one living in the US drive to Canada to buy/order a BMW so as to choose the M-Tech options not available in the US? And then drive it home across the border and register it in the US?

As far as I know it is not a problem to import or export. We are a dealer and buy and sell over the border all the time. Perhaps a 3 month or 6 month time frame. But your US money is stronger then our dollar presently, although not as drastic as before. The MSRP of mine was virtually a 100 grand Canadian! So do the math. I definitely want to get an M5 within a year or 2. And obviously this is pretty much an M5 missing 2 cylinders
