First of all, thanks for all your advices. Looks like many Canadian-Chinese like to drive E60. I have 2 other friends go back to HK are also driving E60.
Anyways, gf366, are you talking about the shop which looks like a cheap garage but specializes in BMW on Woodbine north of Hwy7? I couldn't think of anything south of Hwy 7 on Woodbine. I'll drive there anyway to check that out (I live only 5 minutes from that place). And you mentioned your buddy might be able to ship item out to me, I'll let you know if I'm really gonna buy in HK, but thanks anyway.
AC_S5, I don't think I'm going to the other dealers to find out if they can order the kit. It's going to take one whole day to travel to all these dealers. But anyway, thanks for your suggestions.
Just wonder if you guys know the price of the kits in HK. I'll be intestest to ACS, Hamaan, RD or Original M-Aero.
BTW. Just to let you guys know the gas price in Toronto is now $1.20.!!!

I think I know the place gf366 is referring to...it's right by the Home Hardware store/little gas station. Just before you reach the Shell gas station on the HWY7/Woodbine corner. It looks really shabby But alot of older model BMWs there.

1.20 a litre, is that premium or regular. But is cheap comparing to HK.
There's a bunch of shops beside Central Snooker, but gf366 is right, if no one lead you there you wouldn't be able to find it.

Alpineweiss, do you live in the condo right across from Times Square? 
I've seen only 1 white E60 driving by a Chinese in TO and I always saw it around that area. Well, you haven't seen me before maybe because I just got my car last month. 
And I love our choice! Even though I have a little doubt when the car still not arrive but now I love it! Alpine white is really eye catching and nice looking!

gf366 and AC_S5, I've drove south on Woodbine past Hwy7 and Past Central Snooker and even got to Steeles today, but still couldn't find the shop you guys mentioned. 
Do guys guys have the price of the kits in HK? I want to find out if it's worthwhile to buy them in HK and ship them back.

Well, they don't charge for metallic paints in Canada for E60 now. Actually maybe we are ripped off because we didn't pick metallic paint color, or maybe they should give us $800 discount.

Sorry guys, I'm actually referring to the M Aero Kits. Sorry for the confusions.? 
gf366- Are you referring the BC Autosports at Warden and 14th? I think that shop only sell replicas and mostly for Japanese cars. But I'll go check anyway. Thanks! And yes, I thought of buy it in HK, but how the hell can I bring them back??? I have even thought about buying the rims in HK since they are so much cheaper than Canada. But again, very hard to bring back bo.
AC_S5- I went to Maranello, Town & Country and Downtown BMW, they all said they can't get it. (at least as of now, not sure if they can in the future)? :thumbsdown:
I really like to install a body kit as my E60 is white and it will looks much nicer with the kits. But WHERE to find one????

She also said they would need the car for 1 day. (they would get the parts painted and ready and do the install in half a day.)
Their price $3,400 tax in.
Downtown BMW wanted $4,500 and need your car for a week.
