Very interesting - shows how major price gaps exist in all companies and not just BMW. Lets see how it unfolds

Yeah. since Porsche Canada had just announced they would cut 2008 model price up to 10%. Who ever has 08' orders should wait for BMW Canada's response in this matter.

BMW isn't named in the lawsuit. So i guess this doesn't apply to us?

^ I won't be surprised if we see BMW in that list soon as well as other car companies.

I am trying to get them to add BMW to the list of automakers because BMW FORBIDS their American dealers to sell to Canadians.

This is obviously a policy brought in to ensure the high cost of BMW automobiles in Canada.

I consider BMW's policy to be discriminatory (imagine Best Buy USA saying "we only sell plama tv's to Americans!!"), against the basic tenets of a free market especially in the context of NAFTA and possibly border-line illegal.

If you think the same way as I do about BMW's policies on cross border shopping, please email Henry Juroviesky (hjuroviesky@jruslaw.com) from the Toronto-based law firm Juroviesky and Ricci and let him know how you feel.

I know we're all so busy so here's a pre-written letter that you can use and modify as you wish. The email address to send to is hjuroviesky@jruslaw.com



Dear Mr Juroviesky,

I am writing to you in regards to your class action suit against North American Automakers which I praise you for.

I would like to purchase a BMW in the US but I have been told by the American dealers that they are FORBIDDEN to sell to Canadians.

This is obviously a policy brought in to ensure the high cost of BMW automobiles in Canada.

I consider the policy of BMW to be discriminatory (imagine Best Buy USA saying "we only sell plama tv's to Americans!!"), against the basic tenets of a free market especially in the context of NAFTA and probably border-line illegal.

My question for you Mr. Juroviesky would be; is there anyway to include BMW in your class action suit especially considering the extreme nature of BMW's policy preventing the free movement of their cars over the Canada-US border?

Best Regards
