Yup, I was actually in Chicago just two weeks ago and i had some free time so I swung by a BMW dealership there. the guy knew all about the 1 series and I asked him about importing it to Canada. Just a couple months earlier someone had done the same thing, he needed a US address (which he had) but even then it was still a bit of a headache. The CA though was pretty floored when I told him about how much more cars like the 335 are up here, I guess when the dollar was way lower it made sense, but now with the $ near par there are certainly a lot of people who are interested in this option.
So the Coles notes version, same story as you got, no luck (but great service). Can't sell for export to Canada.
