This weekend was the semiannual control arm and ball joint replacement and a fuel pump replacement...

Shop rental is fun when you don't speak Urdu!

If I hadn't seen how black budgets are hidden, my wife would have me wearing a sheep costume with a yarmulke in downtown Riyadh by now...

You guys crack me up!

But yes, I use the fleet as an exercise in teaching me patience. Makes me a better father.

Just the other day I took the E70 to get state inspected. Service advisor comes back and tells me it failed because it had no brakes. So I get it towed home and best I can tell after diag, the brake booster failed while he was doing the ABS lockup test. That's my luck for you right there.

Is Lemforder publicly traded? Or a subsidiary of a publicly traded company? You should buy stock. Would be a more direct way to buy into the company.

This is exactly why I laugh at people when they say it has to be BMW parts only
I work for a car company and deal with suppliers all the time...

If the company makes parts for the brand, they are all going to be up to the task.... now no name brand parts, its 50/50, you get both halves when it breaks if your lucky

I would buy stock, but I'm still trying to figure out how to get a $600 hammer so that I have the complete CIA issued tool set.....
