Testimonials

  • Take my E30s here, great BMW service.

    Alan H.
  • Simpson Motorsports is without a doubt the BEST place to have your BMW maintained, repaired, or performance modified. Jim Simpson (the owner) has over 30 years experience working EXCLUSIVELY on BMW autos. He and his son Tim Simpson provide extremely meticulous high quality service, which is performed at 30%-50% less than Iowa BMW dealership prices. No Starbucks or popcorn, but when you turn on to I-80 or I-380 you'll be smiling ear-to-ear. Absolutely THE BEST BMW service in Iowa, period.
