Dan is a Certified BMW Master Technician with full BMW Factory Training in all new models. Daniel opened Bimmer Performance Center LLC to meet the needs of BMW owners seeking a comprehensive dealer alternative for BMW service and repair. Daniel’s years of experience with major BMW dealerships in multiple states has equipped him with the knowledge needed to resolve even the most complex BMW technical problems. 

Daniel has a certificate in Aviation Maintenance from Lewis University and has worked at Chicago O’Hare and United Airlines, but he long ago discovered his true passion was for BMW. After graduating as valedictorian of his class at Universal Technical Institute, he was accepted into the BMW STEP program and trained eight hours a day for seven months strictly on BMWs. 

After three years working for Bill Jacobs BMW in Illinois, Daniel, decided to move to Raleigh in 2005 to get away from the big city and cold weather.

Bimmer Performance Center employee Zach working on an X3MC

My passion for BMWs started in 2015 when I was still in high school and had the opportunity to work on GTS3/4 BMW race cars. I enjoyed being able to drive and ride in customer cars as I worked on them.

My training with BMWs was formalized with the BPC training program. Once I meet the team, I choose to work with BPC because of their expert knowledge and the fact that I would be working along side expert technicians. I love working on cars in general and the build quality of BMW makes it a much more pleasurable experience and career.

My passion for BMWs began once I started working for BPC and learning more about the BMW lifestyle. My first time behind a BMW wheel was in a 2011 M-Sport 335d.

I have 3 years of experience so far with BMW service and enjoyed the BPC training program. Meeting the BPC team was a great experience. The owner of BPC, Dan, scouted me for this position and it was the best decision I have made career wise yet 😊.

I enjoyed my job and the knowledge behind it all. We have some smart guys working on some pretty smart cars. These guys know what they are doing and have an honest way of doing it.

BMW parts employee working in Raleigh

My passion began back in 2014. My first BMW was a fully modified N54 335i. I enjoyed the style, and the design inside and out. My training includes the BPC parts training program as well as in depth research of BMW OEM Guidelines

I chose to work with BPC because i enjoy coming to work with people who share the same passion and want to succeed as much as everyone else. I enjoy being able to learn something new every day and share my knowledge with others and overall. I find gratitude in working for this company and coworkers who have a drive and determination similar to mine. I take pride in their work that I do and enjoy surrounding myself with like-minded coworkers.

Come meet our team and see what makes us the best independent BMW shop on the East Coast.

Meet Stephen Moriel, A Part of The BPC Team

My passion for BMWs began several years ago when a good friend of mine purchased a $750 E46 328i. Prior to that, my only car experience was with several different import and domestic cars: An AW11 MR2, a couple Miatas, and a heavily modified mustang that I never planned on selling. I
was not expecting to like the E46 as much as I did; I was hooked the second I got behind the wheel and BMWs of that vintage are my bread
and butter. I could talk forever about the perfect styling, delightful steering feel, and sublime handling of ’90s-2000s BMWs.

Despite having to travel across the country twice for both of my current BMWs (an E39 M5 and an S54 swapped E36 M3), I rest easy knowing that
the experts are right here at home. I cannot thank Dan enough for giving me the opportunity to join the team here at Bimmer Performance Center and I look forward to serving you to the same standard BPC is known for.
