I don't say this everday but they are the best shop I have ever been to; very professional, kind, and let you help with the install and watch since its only operated with two people they only work at one car at a time.

ICS Performance (hl0m4n) Contact: 203-653-2394 (George) Address: 377 Elm Street, Stamford CT, 06902 Refrence: Dan w/ 335i Comment: They do amazing work. Shop is setup great and is at an easy to get to, not hard to find location. The quality of work and service is also great. The only negative is that they don't allow you to go to the back where they do installs to watch. You have to wait in the waiting room or go to the Subway across the street while your car is being worked on due to policy and insurance issues. Other than that it is a great shop with great people although it would be nice to be able to watch and get involved with installs. Website: www.icsperformance.com PA: 1.

I haven't personally had work done at these shops yet, but they both have a solid reputation in this area. Several members here have Helix Attache intalled. I've ordered items from Helix online. They have hosted meets and install days. They are active members/vendors on E90Post. Reference #2: Alan w/ BMW 335i and Mini Cooper S Convertible Comment #2: Installed my DPs, exhaust, and tune here for the 335i. Installed pulley and had oil changed on the Mini. Long drive, but totally worth it. Ralph even drove me into the city to kill time while they worked on the cars. Website: http://www.helix13.com/bmw 2. Bimmerworks (JackMac) Contact: 610-701-9172 Address: 721 East Nields St., West Chester, PA 19382 Refrence: Jack w/ BMW. Comment: BMW and MINI. Dinan performance center.

They sponsor the local BMW CCA chapter, and have participated in charity events and also hold meets. Many of our MINI club membership go there for installs and service, and consistently report positive feedback. They also offer rentals on BMW's and MINI's.
