Are you aware that Georgia state teens need to take an online Georgia Drivers Ed course to get permit and license?

First BMW - Auto detailer recs (from SF to San Jose)?

Hi everyone,

I just joined BMWCCA and will be taking delivery of a new BMW X3 in mid to late Jan 2012. I'm a first-time BMW owner so trying to learn as much as possible about maintenance.

I am thinking of having the new car detailed on the exterior after taking delivery. I was reading that it might be good to have some type of protection applied since it's such a new paint job. The car will be used almost daily and will be parked outside 50% of the time.

Can anyone recommend an auto detailer, anywhere from SF to San Jose? I live in the mid-Peninsula so I can go a bit north or south.

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Thanks,
Tina

One of the rare leather/wool BMW fest jackets from the 1996 Monterey Historics---BMW featured marque---is up on eBay. It's an XL Tall. Even if it wouldn't fit you, perhaps you know someone who might like this cool jacket from a legendary event.

Fantastic opportunity from BMW NA for Bay Area BMW owners!

Is your BMW a star? BMW NA is looking for some stellar-looking E21, and four-door E30, E36, and E46 3 Series located in the SF Bay Area to photograph for their press archives. This is a rare opportunity to have your Bimmer immortalized in BMW history! In return, you'll be treated like a star yourself: a week with a brand-new F30 3 Series for your personal use and an invitation to a day at the press launch at Laguna Seca. What's not to like?

They've asked me to reach out to our chapter members in an effort to find these cars, so I've got a webpage for you with all the details at http://bitly.com/My3SeriesStar. This is absolutely legitimate!

Deadline for entries is Dec. 25---could be that Santa has big plans for your 2012!

Thanks for the encouragement. The Van Diemen is a slightly different ride than the Subie.

Hey Jeff,
17 years is a relationship longer than most California marraiges. I know what you mean about moving on though, the high reving no bottom end E-30 M3 is no match for the torque moster V-8. I hope whom ever buys your car takes as good a care of it as you did.
