Quote of the Day

A lot of small shops won’t work on Bimmers, I suspect partly because of the need for specialized diagnostic tools and partly because a lot of Bimmer owners are special tools in need of diagnoses. — Tam, “Tamgies List:  Unsolicited Endorsement

One of the things about having lived in Germany is that I’m not impressed with most BMW’s or Mercedes.   Yeah, they’re nice, once you’ve been in an environment where they fit the same automotive niche as Chevy and Ford do here, you’re not that impressed.  Don’t even get me started on my shock at how much a VW is going for these days, since my experience with them were late 80’s / early 90’s Golfs and Vanagons.

    The Germans always considered a Mercedes to be the car a farmer got when he retired.

    Hey DB;

    I lost my awe of Mercedes when I saw them as Taxi’s. The fit and finish of my NCO’s European Spec Beemer was subpar compared to my 1986 Mustang…They don’t impress me that much. And to work on them…fuggetaboutit. Unless you have a lot of specialized tools that cost more then the part you are trying to replace.
