It would help because you can't always source upgrades/parts from the States so a bit of knowledge sharing about local mechanics and performance shops here would be great.
Thanks

I am partly from Toronto. Parents live there atleast 6 months of the year and I visit them very often when they are there. Actually driving Chicago to Toronto on Thursday again.

I too am from Toronto. If you need any advise or information based on the mods I've done to my car, just let me know.

I have to start somewhere, i was thinking of the following in priority sequence...
1-I need to polish both front healights, they look really bad.
2-Repaint the front bumper and hood to get rid of those stone chips, then put the 3M plastic coating which protects against further stone chips. And at the same time I will remove the damn spoiler the previous owner put on the car.
3-I will get BMW to upgrade the software, mine is from October 2003
4-Shadow line... will change the grill and the chrome around the windows, the latter I may need help, not sure who can do that work professionally, the grill I can change myself, I think
5-Change the rims to either OEM M6 or M5, 18 or 19 inch
6-LCI tail lights is a must!!
7-My car cam prewired but nothing installed, so I want to put Blue tooth, satellite and iPod auxiliary inputs.
And I think once the above is complete, I'll be good.
Here's the before shots of the car...
