Newbie - Looking for a reputable place in the bay area to have mods done

xtrakrispee · 01-27-2008, 07:09 PM

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and will be expecting delivery of my first ever bimmer 335i in march.

This forum has been very helpful and informative, especially to new and future owners of bmw.

I would like to start by asking e90 owners here in the bay area if they know of a reputable shops that would perform e90 upgrades. such as angel eyes, fog lights LED/Bulb replacements, exterior kit replacements and installation. and performance upgrades.

Thanks in advance!

Auto Innovations in Milpitas does coilovers, wheels, and tires.

Their resume for putting on KW coilovers and sway bars on the 335I is getting pretty long.

They are a wheel/tire/suspension shop but might do the other stuff to.

Speak to Orlando (Owner) tell him Donovan send you. He is a great guy and stands behind his work.

Auto Innovation is a good place. Another good one is Sonic Motorsport (formerly known as Carlab) in Santa Clara.

It depends on where you are located...there are many shops at your disposal

If you are in the fremont/san jose area, we sell a lot of parts and for installs there is speed element in fremont and auto innovations in milpitas as well.

If you are in the san francisco area, Machiii is great for installs/parts

Thanks for all the replies. I will definitely check out these shops in the next coming weeks and hopefully get a competitive quote.
