As noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autonews.com\/bmw\/anc-trump-tariffs-bmw-canada-resumes-imports-0825\/\"><em>Auto News<\/em><\/a>, they also use engines and transmissions imported to the States from Europe, which exposes them to 25 percent tariffs even before their assembly commences in Spartanburg.<\/p>\n<p>When the completed vehicles pass across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/canada\/\">the Canadian border<\/a>, they are subject to an additional 6.1 percent tax, bringing the total up to 31.1 percent. If BMW were to pass on this entire fee to customers, the price of a $50,000 model could increase by upwards of $15,000 &ndash; and by the same token, a $100,000 model could be subjected to a $31,000 price hike. <\/p>\n<p>In both cases, we&rsquo;re talking about a considerable amount that could put a number of buyers off and result in them opting for a rival brand instead.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2025-BMW-X3-00006.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Your $50,000 BMW Could Soon Be Hit With $15,000 Tariff In Canada\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1399\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2025-BMW-X3-00006-1024x651.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Rising Prices Across the Lineup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s understood that BMW&rsquo;s Canadian arm intends to increase prices to counter these tariffs, although it&rsquo;s not yet clear by how much.
