fantastic! I was wondering how to get the car back on a weekend...Sumas will not process outside of normal business hours. Thanks!
If purchasing your BMW from a BMW dealership, you do not need to spend $500 on a Recall Clearance Letter issued by BMW North America. Just ask the dealership to print off an Internal Dealer Printout showing "no open campaigns" - manufacturer lingo for no recalls outstanding - and fax that to RIV as it is an acceptable alternative to a Recall Clearance Letter.
In regards to the above. I have heard contradicting information. I just called BMW USA and they told me that I require the "Letter of Recall" from a Canadian Dealer, and they will perform a check on the car to see if it complies to Canada.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
A recent UCanImport importer used an internal dealer printout and it was accepted. I think BMW will tell you that they should be the ones to issue the Recall Clearance Letter, but frankly, all you want is for RIV to send you your Form 2 once they confirm that there are no recalls outstanding on your import. Please review the case studies at www.ucanimport.com for more information. Thank you
Your information is invaluable. Well worth the $9.99!
I just imported a vehicle this weekend through Pt. Angeles and this website was a great resource for information. I used the border contacts and things went flawlessly! Thanks!
