Quick question specifically to E60 owners in the GTA area of Ontario. (and nearby cities)
Does anyone know a reputable body shop that is not too expensive, yet does quality work? I would like to get an M-TECH kit this summer and need someone to paint and install it.
Also, have you worked with any Canadian suppliers for OEM BMW product? Also non-OEM mods, replica RIMS, etc? We have great relationships with US vendors on this site, but it is becoming more difficult to bring product across the border with Canada Customs. Our poor exchange rate doesn't help either. On a personal note, I use my car for business and can write-off a portion of car-related expenses, as long as I have a receipt from a Canadian business.
Thanks for your help!

I have a GREAT shop that I can recommend, but it's US. About 20 minutes from the queenston-lewiston bridge.
If you're interested, let me know.
As for the parts, just have them shipped directly to the shop, then you don't have to worry about transporting them over the border.

Good luck
I can definitely recommend European Autobody in Etobicoke, asked for Andrew or Mannie, Great Guys!!! they worked on my rear bumper when someone scratched it and when I got it back, it looked Brand New!!
Just to add, these guys are professional and not just work on BMW's but a lot of Ferrari's and the rest of the really high end luxury cars. google them......
