BMW is still out there price gauging Canadians, but now we have the SWISS folks going after the car company for preventing them from buying in other countries where prices are less expensive.

BMW plans to invest a further $270 Million to expand its U.S. operations. BMW also reaffirmed on Friday it is investing $750 million to expand production capacity in its U.S. plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina., where it will eventually assemble its X3, X5 and X6 range of sports utility vehicles.
