Starting Next Spring.....

[5.0Flareside]

Starting in the Spring of 2011 ill be starting school. but not regular college. ill be starting Automotive training to become...... eeeekk..... im gonna get so many flames for this...... a BMW technician.... Anns uncle has offered to help me get in as he is a tech that sits at home and when a dealership has a problem they turn to him....


well anyways. the course is a 6 month program and after its done you get a job for sure for 1 year. and after that year they determine if youve learned enough to continue working at the dealership and if so then your permenant.


i dont have to pay for the schooling BMW and the dealership split the costs and all i have to pay for is a roof over my head and food in my belly.

and the biggest thing bout the program. very few people get in. just a select few. its aparently very prestigous.

but all in all im happy. ill still be a Ford guy always at home but at work ill be working on BMWs....

but yeah just wanted to let everyone know...

Congrats. Practice your electrical trouble shooting skills. Many of the guys I know with BMW's have had electrical problems.

i am terrible with vehicle electrical.

Then German cars should provide a good...learning opportunity for you.

Congrats, though. I've never worked on a BMW that wasn't old when I was born...or one with four wheels. Heck, I'm not sure I've ever even BEEN in a BWM with four wheels.

Service isn't something they're known for avoiding... Should be a great gig if you can stand waiting that long.

This is the perfect opportunity to sway the customers over to the blue oval

"Yeaaah I was working on your uhh... leaky... spark... tube... And I got'er all fixed up but she still doesn't run like a Ford!"

 

[LEB Ben]

Congrats man...hope it works out for you...and I like Chris' idea. Personally, the tools in my tool box only fit Blue Ovals, so I hope you have more tools than I do.

You won't need heavy duty tools for those sissy cars. Haven't you heard the expression: "My lug nuts take more torque than your engine puts out."
