Wear eye protection!!


Thumbs, iPhone, TaT.

Took the BMW for a top-down drive this evening, for the first time in a week. Reminded me how much I like this car. We'll have to see how finances go, maybe I will keep it?!?!?

Ive been sans mechanic since I moved to SoCal around the new year. Car was asking for an oil change so I found a BMW/Mini shop up the street from my work and decided to take my car there for its oil service to shake hands with everyone and see how the shop does business. I liked the look of it. Very clean and organized. They had late model and older BMW/Minis in and around the shop. And their two shuttle vehicles were E39s (with 250k+! But they ran and looked nice).

I walk in, Service guy: You're in the ZHP that just rolled past the door? Thats a clean car!

While at work I get a call from the manager: Ok we did the oil change and did a good once over. Im sure you are not going to be surprised to hear me say this but your car is *takes a breath* AAA-mazingly clean. Doesn't need anything that we can see and after I looked over the excel sheet you sent me with your service history.

A Tech picks me up in a E39: You have that silver grey ZHP? Dude that is a clean car (why do they like that word so much?? it actually could use a car wash). I have a 328i but its no where near your car.

I pay and sign the service papers and look it over to review mechanics comments on the sheet: checked this and that *yadda* *yadda* *yadda* front pads 10MM, rear 5MM. Tires 6MM, etc etc....last comment: Vehicle is in excellent condition.

Drove away a proud ZHP papa.

I swear the car runs a little smoother just after an oil change. Is it just me imagining things?

Yeah. The BMW shop I used in SF was a good shop. Glad I found a similar one in SoCal. They even use the same europeon oil in their oil changes (Total) which I thought was funny.
