Where do you get your mods/parts from?

There is loads of stuff I would like to order from EAS and iND- Distribution but it's US based and the shipping will be expensive.

Anyone know where I can get this stuff in Canada?

Mike @ n54tuning is a good local option.

Canada is a third world country when it comes to this sort of thing. Unfortunately the USD is price to pay for admission.

Another local shop you can check out is Alpha Motorsports...
http://alphamotorsports.ca/

Their website don't list everything that they carry. I suggest calling them and ask for Mo or Ivan. A number of us F8x owners goes to them and they can get you good quality mods at a very reasonable price.

Cheers.

Try VAG in Laval.

Most places in Canada will probably buy the parts from the US anyway so we're screwed on duties and exchange rate off the bat.

From Toronto, You can also ship to Niagara Falls, NY. Pick it up there and save on shipping costs. From Gatineau, Ogdensburg, NY is about 100km.

You should be able to get a 10-15% discount off parts at the dealer with a BMW QC membership.

Always wanted to go to VAG but they're too far from me and hours are not the most convenient.

There's a place in Plattsburgh called "Freeport Forwarding". So you pretty much get your stuff shipped there for a reasonable fee. Great option seeing that most places offer free shipping within the USA.

Check it out.
