BMW didn't officially import this particular body style to the U.S., and if you want this one in the U.S., you'll have to import it from Germany. Pretty spendy, and I do know there are a few of these here that were privately imported. You guys in Canada - did your Canadian BMW dealers get these?

To ship it from Stettin Poland would be much closer. But, you'd have to watch your back doing business there, unless you have a good friend who knows the language and beurocracy. What's interesting would be that Citroen van:
