      I get the same rate at my work and I dont have to drive out of my way. Also, the loaner cars I get from work are free... and new BMWs (I got an X5 4.4i last time)

      And now I know which techs are the e30 techs (or 'Heritage Techs'). The guy who did my oil change was not a heritage tech. Now I have my own personal tech at work if needed. I still work with Nick from Tulley though when I'm doing my own work.

      And I wasn't fucking about when I said "I'm out." I figured I'd keep it simple and leave out the drama and just leave. You might see me around here and there... I've just got too much shit to deal with right now (house, marriage, helping manage a band, working my balls off opening a new service center) and I'm basically hanging out with my original crew again.

        so the center shaft bearing on my car was roasted and the guibo was only on finger tight so they are replacing the driveshaft while they are in there
        and Im pimping a 2005 325i until I get mine back.

            Exactly what was going on with my car. For me it was the gasket that seals the fuel level sender on the driver (left) side of the tank. I ended up making my own gasket & haven't had even a slight smell of fuel when the tank is full since.

              When doing an oil change, a tech jacked the car up on the gas tank, pushing the fuel pump through the bottom of the rear seat. It was all replaced by my old dealership free of charge. Tank, pump, sender, the lot.
