I have become an avid BMW tinkerer. Have you seen the parody of “ASE Certified” patches that says “YouTube Certified?” That would be me. I’m not a mechanic, but I can follow directions well. If I can find a couple videos and DIYs online, I can fix something. I don’t do internal engine work or body work. Those two are beyond my skills/interests.

I read someone complaining on an online forum about the price of parts. The response was “If you think $40 is expensive, you can’t afford to drive an old BMW.” Hmmm. A long-time friend in the body shop business says BMW means “Bring More Wrenches.”

My hope is to use this blog to chronicle some of my experiences with the current project, my first X3. If it goes well, I’ll be able to have pictures or maybe even video to show some of what i’ve done.
