I did my research and found the easiest way to import the vehicle and also to convert it to Canadian standards. I called the BMW dealer in Toronto and they told me the required changes include only reprogramming of the vehicle computer, and they would charge $650.
The changes include:
- Daytime Running Lights activiation: (DRL)
- Odometer to read in km, instead of miles.
Despite this low cost, I purchased a scanner (BMW scanner 1.4) and set it all up at home. I was able to make all the changes myself, and it was very easy, but required a laptop and a little computer knowledge. I would be willing to make these changes for others who would rather have me do it than purchase their own equipment. The vehicles I can do are:
- BMW E38 1994 - 2001 7-series
- BMW E39 1997 - 2003 5-Series
- BMW E46 1998 - 2006 3- Series
- BMW E53 1999 - 2006 X-5
- BMW E83 2004-2005 X-3
- BMW E85 2003-2005 Z-4
Best Wishes on your BMW
