Yep, looks like I was lucky and was able to score that Euro sunshade for the E30.

BMWNA has stopped all ordering of euro parts.

No more E36 and E39 floating M rotors.

No more pre painted bumpers.

No more alcantara seat covers on US models that didn't come with them here.

No more Ellipsoid lights for the E34 and E36.

Is Canada the same? Or are we just screwed and have to have our German friends help us.

Are you kidding? In Canada we don't even get BMWs. At all.

Seems that dealer markup would be ridiculous anyways . . . although they are foolish in that respect to stop a practice that should be fairly profitable.

That's because Canada isn't even a real country.

No, the price was good.

The Euro floating rotors cost about the same as the crappy US only rotors when BMWNA was still allowing them to be imported.

Stuka, make some effing lemonade BMW just gave you a golden opportunity to take over this market. There's gotta be a lot of BMW guys to cater to.
