BMW Canada has been battling thieves and grey-market car smugglers who illegally export vehicles from Vancouver to China, sometimes without making a single payment on them. The trade focuses on luxury X5 and X7 SUVs.
South China Morning Post
On April 15, a young man walked into a BMW dealership in Markham, Ontario, and signed a lease on a new X7 SUV, taking delivery of the C$140,000 (S$152,000) vehicle the next month.
Within days, the luxury car was heading west on a 4,000km (2,500 miles) journey to Vancouver, British Columbia.
And the chase was on – because this was no ordinary road trip.
