OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer.

Good lord,no wonder I never figured it out.What happened to "car salesman".

But thanks for the reply

BMWdmk · 08-13-2008, 09:33 PM

LOL!!!

whats does that mean?

HappyG · 08-13-2008, 09:44 PM

Isn't there a thread that shows all the acronyms?

CA is either the state, comfort access, or client advisor.

If you don't know what OEM means, just shoot yourself. That should be a question when you're attempting to register on any automotive forum. LoL.

Are there still people out there that don't know how to read a manual. Or do a search. Or even use google.

IrvRobinson · 08-14-2008, 05:14 PM

you can also have

SA service advisor or sales associate
SM service manager or sales manager
TA technical advisor
GSM general sales manager
O owner
DP dealer principal
ED european delivery
PCD performance center delivery
PO purchase order
BO buyers order

I'm sure they're many more,but this should help with the basics..

Anywho, I guess we kinda hi-jacked this thread...sorry OP

jimf15e · 08-14-2008, 06:59 PM

I thought "FTW" meant "For the win"? Taken from the sports jargon I think.

Slightly off topic but is there any way to automatically delete any post that uses the "LOL" term? I really don't think there's anything I hate more than that term - especially when people use it as every lol friggin' lol word lol.
