Can anyone recommend an honest independent mechanic that I can trust to help me maintain my E60 545i for the next 26 months till the end of the lease? Price is not the biggest issue as I suspect anyone will be cheaper than the stealer. I just want someone who is honest and will not talk me into doing things that do not need to be done. And let me know when I should go to the dealer. The car is under CPO warranty for another 19 months.

If possible, I would prefer to stay inside the GTA. Thanks in advance!

I think Port Perry might be just outside the GTA but if you want excellent quality work by a guy who knows more about BMW's than... well BMW.

He specializes in BMWs.

Thanks for the info. Port Perry is a bit far though. Anyone else have any recommendation for someone in Toronto?

A few thoughts - to start with, perhaps check out this Canadian forum:

http://www.maxbimmer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76189

All kinds of suggestions - Bimmersport, RMP, Cross Ave Auto in Oakville. I have taken my Z3 (for sale, 55,000 km!!) to Cross Ave, and was very happy with the results. They're a Dinan dealer which I think sasys something. It seems that the other forum seems partial to RMP and Bimmersport. I'm guessing you can't go wrong with any of them.

Go to Bimmer sport Automotive. Theyre one of the best.

OMG..why didn't someone mention RMP?

That's why I gave the link to the maxbimmer thread - it lists everybody in the business. RMP is certainly highly recommeded there.
