seems to be more than normal this year....christmas season didnt allow many to make it thru til sping. best of luck.....a master tech is always valuable to someone. unfortunately, not always paid commensurate with value, but that is another story.

May be a good time to fire up the network of satisfied customers and do some work on your own? A good BMW mechanic can be hard to find.
