Yeah, that question is kind of like some one constantly reminding everyone on a Mercedes forum about an '80s Ferrari



Oracle--do a search, I remember a guy here mentioning going through that program but it was several years ago. There's also bmwforums.com, and another that you can get via pm from the Swede, but they are mostly chops/ricer types nothing like here.

A person in my graduating class got in after working at the BMW dealer for a few years. He started as a lot guy, then service adviser assistant, making his ambitions well known to his superiors. He was always asking the tech's questions and lending a hand when he could.

Last time I went there with my X5 (sold nearly a year ago) he was wearing a tech uniform.

Didn't know it bothered you. I'll talk more about the Maserati and Jaguar instead. Only not "constantly" this time. Does every other day agree with you? If not, please inform me of a schedule that meets your needs. Thanks for your input, it's much appreciated and taken to heart.

Hypocrisy bothers me--not the actual cheese itself. Nice to see you actually got the point and straightened it out in #7.

I don't recall ever asking for help on this forum on anything but my Mercedes. I've also "mentioned" my BMW. I fail to see the "hypocrisy".
