Best place to get BMW PErformance Parts?

Hey guys,

what would be our best bet for getting these in Canada?
I know we can always go for the ones in the US, but then we have to pay for not just shipping, but customs.
BMW sells things I suppose, but probably at very high prices.

My need for the car is getting to the point where I am already thinking of buying things for it before it arrives.

Dealership...seriously these are Bmw parts...other options=aftermarket
Go aftermarket there is no reason to go with Bmw Performance mirrors,ugly wheels,ugly decals covers etc...IMO=Pass The only item I would get=Pedals

precisely, I have in mind: pedals, performance front bumper/intake, and carbon fibre rear spoiler.

down the road, strut bar and performance air intake and maybe a real LSD
aftermarket: anegle eye bulbs and cargo nets.

I see. I meant stuff from BMW's Performance Catalogue... hopefully without a premium. I already paid a premium on the car itself.
Word is buying it from the US is the best deal, if you get it shipped by USPS as to avoid extravagant duty fees a la UPS.
