I think you meant your user name to be ErsterBMW! Erst means First, as in your First BMW. Since ALL car makes are "masculine", BMW is der BMW. So with the German case system (which English used, since English is a GERMANIC language, but dropped it hundred of years ago)...Erst becomes Erster. Erster BMW! Is this what you were going for? LOL Remember...we Germans love our rules, and Grammar is a totally sadistic pleasure!! Ha ha

Zuerst means, translated, at first or firstly.

Yeah, I realized that after I made the name back in 2006(for bimmerpost.com) when I got my first BMW, when my German brother-in-law told me.
Damn, I miss Munich. Im sure I go back and do a Euro delivery in the future.
Doing the PCD for my X5 delivery in June. This will be my fourth and definately not my last.

I love Munich! Even though my family are not Bavarians (and if you are German, you usually hate Bavaria, unless you are from there..LOL), but I think it is the best place in all of Germany. The food, people, Alps, culture...awesome. Well, the Bavarian dialekt sucks, and can be near impossible to understand, but I love it München!!

Genau!! It's for the Yanks, who have to "drive on the Autobahn" when in Germany. Most Europeans know it's a diesel...but Americans are somewhat dumbfounded when it comes to a diesel passenger car, yet alone a luxury BMW or Mercedees!

Gas in a diesel engine can result in a "runaway" engine can't it? or is there something in the engine that prevents it?
