    So i just got a new job

    at BMW of San Francisco... anyone work there? i start next week.. the interview was super hard for no reason. asked me all kinds of shit like "how do you know if a car has a head gasket problem when theres no milkshake? how do you know if a radiator is clogged up? why does the motor need knock sensors?" then they whipped out a wiring diagram and asked "how does this circuit work? what if the fuse pops? where do you look? what if it works intermittently ? what would you do?

    end of story is... i got the job... passed the drug test and yea... hopefully theres some e30 drivers there... and hopefully not everyone there is a e9x cocky driver... :pimp:

    Congrats! my '92 318ic was originally purchased from there. Perhaps you can lend a hand when you have more seniority? heh.

                      It was hard because he asked me questions left and right and i had no time to think... He was like how do u tell if a radiator is bad if its not leaking? How do you know if its a head gasket? How do you check to see if a radiator isnt clogged? How do you test a water pump? What does a knock sensor do? Does timing affect combustion temperature? Plus all the wiring diagrams and stuff so yea

                          Some advice: Do not feel entitled. Be the new guy. Shut the fuck up, dont talk back and learn from others around you. Im sure there are techs there with 30+ years experience. You cant put a price on learning from them. In due time youll be killin it
