Question regarding shops in the GTA

4doorgsr · 02-03-2011, 08:51 AM

Hey guys, I’m new to the BMW world, however not new to the car world.
I have been building cars, and playing around with them since I was about 16. Now I have always been a Honda/Acura guy( I know a lot of you guys are going to just laugh, however me and my friends have build some top quality cars in the GTA) Now in the Honda/Acura world there are lots of shops you can go to and buy lips, hoods, among other things. Basically my question is where are the GTA shops that take care of the BMW world? I’m looking for a CSL trunk for my E90, I’m also looking for a lip. I do not want to give my business to a shop in the US if there is a local one that I can establish a good relationship with as I love my aftermarket parts.

thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Matt

I'm interested to hear what people come up with. Keep in mind that the BMW market is much smaller than the import market here in the GTA.

From a personal perspective your best bet is to get your parts from the USA, much cheaper than the local vendors.

^^ thats what i have been finding, however a local GTA shop that deals with BMW parts to me would be a must. I know that for the import scene there is
Teknotik, Speedstar, Option JDM, just to name a few... any help on this would be great.

The lack of responses on here pretty much confirms your theory...

You can do a search for Canadian vendors in this sub-forum, I know a complete list was compiled. n54tuning.com is local (Mississauga) and they are also a board sponsor.

^^ ya i guess there is a big void in the market here in the GTA for a shop that would just deal with parts sales only, and im sure if someone had started one up, they could work close with the shops that do installs.

oh well i guess my CDN $ will be going to a US market.
