Absolutely. The R is nearly the same price in CAD and USD. Poutine and Tim Horton crowd is getting a 20% discount.
It's a shame they fucked up the HVAC/infotainment/drive mode controls..
It is. I've still got a blue manual one coming in.
I've been very tempted to get one as they perform quite well for track days (lower weight helps a ton) + I could load the dogs in the back witch is a no go in the 3 series but they came to be available too late.

I do own a 2021 Atlas Cross Sport that has physical HVAC controls and I find the infotainment controls already way more distracting and dangerous vs the BMW.

I was hoping maybe vw falls back to physical because of all the complaints but I honestly doubt it, I don't see there products the same way as before, I loved my past Tiguan and Touareg but now it's all "how can we build cars Americans will find semi-premium for the cheapest cost possible" The R built in Germany is really the last of its kind..
