Brian Jessel does the Dinan upgrades. I'm sure they aren't cheap but they honour the warranty of bmw/Dinan if you run into any problems.

What kind of mods were you thinking of getting done?

Nixon Automotive (Burnaby) and CG Motorsports (Richmond) are reputable shops. Nixon does BMW only. I've only had personal experience with Nixon. Good guys. CG Motorsports tunes BMW and VW.

Advance Motorsports (Coquitlam) is more known for tuning JDM vehicles. But they are also known to tune some European cars.

I agree with kevintran. Jessel as a good display for the 1 series. Go with the carbon spoiler, and if you can afford - get the carbon interior!!! WAY nicer then the standard woodgrain. At the drive event I saw a 135i with carbon mirror caps too, and a carbn rear diffusor. LOTS of carbon options it appears. My first mod will be the performance exhaust, see link below for how it sounds.

Oh thanks guys, I will give Nixon a call and see what they have.

I wanted to get the exhaust and spoiler. The BMW performance exhaust sounds a AMAZING not too loud but more of grunt at WOT
