WHo is the best aftermarket tuner for the mini?

I have been looking at M7 Tuning, Alta Performance, Ultrik and John Confortti tuning packages and products. I can get about 30% off of the JCW kit as well as 30% off the labour, only problem is that his stuff is no better than all of the other tuners, but it is so overpriced, even with the discount I can get. Any other tuners I missed?

Look at DINAN, and AC Shnitzer too... they are top notch tuners. You can get those kits from them at a DINAN authorized BMW dealer.. and have it warrentied like a factory warrenty. Im 100% sure about the DINAN and almost 100% about the AC being warrentied by the BMW dealer.

Tuner you can drive to? Order from? You need to clarify that.Where are you? Canada is a pretty big place. Unless of course you're a Canadian in Jamaica or something.

Seeing as you're in North America if you may wish to look into Helix Motorsport, they deal with GIAC. I'm after some feedback on them myself, so if you find out anything, please let me know.

Helix is in Philly, PA - east coast of US. They're the big name in that part of the country.

The Cali folks seem big on M7, as it's more local to them.

There are lots of other local sources throughout the country if you want a MINI knowlegable shop to do the work. If all you're doing is ordering parts, it's a different story.
