First, welcome to the forum.

There is no such thing as a metallic alpine white. Leather vs leatherette has been debated a thousand times here so if you search for it I guarantee you will find a tons of threads on that. Those threads basically contain our collective opinions about the subject.

I dont know what you mean by the yellow side light. Are you talking about the amber part of the headlights? If so there is not much you can do about it unless you get Euro xenons or get some amber overlay (not sure if the E90s in Canada come with Euros or not).

thank you !yes, amber part of the headlight.Actually, i want import a 335 from USA to Canada, cause its much cheap in USA

For the amber parts of the headlights, you would have to either buy Euro headlights (which dont have the amber parts) or buy a piece of vinyl to cover it up.

As for importing a car from the US, it wouldnt save you much, if any, if you were to buy it from the US. By the time you factor in taxes, customs and such there wont be much savings at all (if that).

I don't think any dealers in USA will sell to a canadian, but I can be wrong... I think it's some sort of rule or something.
