I worked for BMW for a year, and we sent all our cars to marranellos, they have done the best work i have ever seen, only guy in calgary licenced to paint ferreries and lambos.

Maranello or Contemporary....however i dont think those will fit your criteria of having the time as you would like as all of those places are probably getting busier as the snow starts to come down

Maranello's is a good body shop. There is no need to be 'familiar' with BMWs. They are made of the same metals that most cars are made of.

I disagree because it's better if they are familiar with the type of car to be repaired/painted. Things like the type of factory paint used, history or inconsistencies between models years, etc. would be VERY useful. Manufacturers use different thickness of sheet metal and different compositions. Some Audis use aluminum where steel is the norm for other manufacturers. Some body shops remove some parts to paint instead of straight masking.

A shop specializing in your make always has an advantage over one that rarely sees your make. If they know your car, they'll spend less time figuring things out and there's less chance of a fuck up.

Amen!

Avoid Deerfoot Auto Pro at ALL costs!

Heard very good things about National but am unsure on their knowledge of BMW's
