Here's where I don't understand. I doubt a German dealer can sell you a CADM spec vehicle. There's contracts in place with localized dealers that prevent that.
If it's not CADM then you can't import it as Canada customs won't let you bring it in and register it. A non CADM vehicle being imported to Canada would be gray market. That has to be 15+ years old.
It is different from European Delivery because with ED you order the car here and it's CADM spec, they just have contracts in place for you to take delivery in Europe and they have rules in place to allow you to drive it in Europe. Any European Delivery car MUST leave Europe within 6 months. It's why you get a red plate instead of the regular blue one.
I did ED on my M3, it's no different from any other Canadian vehicle, and actually they have hacks in place to make the nav work over there. There are rules they make clear on delivery of the car at the Welt.
