Good news at BMW of Bridgewater

For those of you know who him, you now know where to find him. For those who don't, as always ...

Re: garage floor paint

From what I recall when I painted mine (15+ years ago), you don't need to remove all visible traces of the stains, which can run fairly deep into the concrete. You just need to be certain that what remains is not hydrophobic. Once you've accomplished that, it should accept the paint with no trouble....

Re: MAY 14 AUTOCROSS

I'll second all of that! The course was lots of fun, quite a bit faster than I expected and the pavement is in great shape. I'm sure there is even better to come this season, as we get the hang of working in the reconfigured lot. Plus, I set a personal best for single-event cone carnage--fifteen tot...

Re: hotels in Shenandoah Driver school

Whichever you choose, I wouldn't delay the decision much longer. There may be some other event(s) in the area that weekend besides our school. Rates in general seem notably higher than past years and some of the nicer properties are already fully booked.

Re: F80 / F82 / F30 trunk opens by itself

I told him to take the car in EVERY time the window or trunk thing happens and to make sure the service ticket accurately describes the problem. At what point can his local dealer start looking up the food chain for more assistance? If it's still happening, take it in right away. AFAIK, as soon as ...

Thanks to some lucky, last-minute rescheduling, I won't have to trek across half the state to be there...so I'll be there!
