Nothing, it should be the same. Only Euro spec cars have different components. Whatever the car needs to meet Canada law will be setup during prepping, they usually have those items on hand.

Packaging of the options may be different... Like on the 28i certain items were never made available in Canada but were available in USA. On the 35 it probably is more similar... But i would run the VIN through ETKA to be sure...

pokerface is correct. Packages are different between the US and Canada. Also, on the Canadian 2.8i, Dynamic Damper Control is not an option but in the US it is

Here is a link to the 2014 Canadian X3 Ordering Guide https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B67F...it?usp=sharing and the US one can be found here: http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=838255

You can only bring a used car into Canada. Details can be found here: http://www.riv.ca/importingavehicle.aspx

There are 3rd party companies which can do all of the paperwork which is the route I'd take as a friend has used the service several times.

As others have noted the cars are the same just packages vary. You can't get an Msport 28i up here but you can (or could) in the States.

THe TPMS will be different. US-spec F25s use a direct TPMS, while Canada and most if not all of the rest of the world use indirect TPMS.

Very cool, I didn't realize the MY14 was available with the 28i and msport. Ya still can't get a new one in the states and bring it north... unless it's used.
