Hey everyone,

As the title states, I'm looking for a shop that would specialize in BMW mods & repairs.

Preferably west of Toronto (Etobicoke, Brampton, Mississauga area).

I will be looking on BMW forums as well, however I figured I would ask here first because I can and appreciate the knowledge the members have on this forum. :)

Thanks.

Ask Ami where he got the work done on his. I've seen Jim working on numerous modified and stock Bimmers; if you're willing to take a trip to Markham Jim is a good mechanic. Post some pics if you get one!

All my work has been done through a dealer in Toronto. Aside from that, only other place I would go would be Jim at Street Performance.

Yep, Jim knows Bimmers; actually so does Rich. I know he has (or had) two of his own in the shop.

speed star on east end have good rep from the e90 crowd.

I took mine to jimmy before for mechnical service.. he knows them pretty well, never asked if they can program the DME/CAN but I don't think they can.

IE. if it is a battery replacement, I don't think Jimmy can program it

I'm taking mine to Bimmex woodbridge to change oil in the next few weeks when I have time, they seem to have decent rep too.. I can report back after

Since you're in Brampton, try Eurotune on Highway 10 in Caledon

When I had my car I went to Bimmersport. But I hear they have changed slightly since I went.

Bimmersport or RMP they have the special tool's and diagnostic equipment to work on BMW's, I wouldn't bring a BMW to a "general" shop.

took my car to bimmex woodbridge last week... blah service, tried to scam me on a whole brake job to install clutch delay valve just because the fluid might need to be bled.

I'm going to Jimmy for everything else

I'm glad that you knew that they are trying to scam you. A big lost if you have scammed.

only place most ppl on maxbimmer take their cars.

i personally tried out rmp and stuck with them since. have not tried bimmersport but heard nothing but good from them too.

either one is a really good choice

last season when I swapped summers to winter tires I know my rear pads are thin, but no where near unacceptable level as they claimed & I haven't been brakign hard. The funny part is I got i-drive which tells me I have 23000km left... so they threw in a 'might as well' $400 brake job.

I changed the clutch delay valve on my other e90, didn't want to do it because it is hard to get to without a lift.
