[Vancouver E90 Tech night!!!]

kyo21 · 07-19-2010, 10:06 PM

Anyone what to know a bit more about their car?

Not sure what the underside of your car look like?

Want to talk to a down-to-earth Technician who is willing to answer your questions without charging you?

Brian Jessel Autohaus is offering a BMW Tech night for all E90post members and BMW owners!
Depending on how many are interested, we'll set up a day for you guys and do the following:

1) Tour of the facility
2) Introduce you to the Technicians
3) Lift up some of your vehicle
4) Look at some interesting aspects of E90,E92
5) Demonstrate certain methods of repair and maintenance

UPDATE
Tentative schedule and itinerary for the E90 Tech Night!

DATE: Thursday August 5th, 6:30 or 7pm Start
DURATION: As it is an introductory night, 40min to 1hour. Plus it is a weekday

ITINERARY:
1. Meet & Greet everyone, Provide Coffee/Water and Doughnuts.
2. Introduce our Technician, Jason Lee.
3. We will "dissect" a 2011 335is to learn about its features and compare it with a 335i.
4. We will lift one of your guys vehicle, examine the underside and weigh it on our corner balance machine. Also may discuss possible remedies to mechanical problems.
5. If available, show and discuss the engineering marvel of a S85 V10 pulled out of a M5.
6. Have a raffle draw/door prize to finish the night! Prize is TBD (might be a spa package, might be a Dinan goodie... )
7. All of you can go for a cruise after!

kyo21 · 07-20-2010, 02:58 AM

I'm not sure who organizes the 604 e90post meets but it would be ideal for you guys to merge your meet with tech night at Autohaus first, and go for a cruise after.

A win-win!

You're more than welcome to drive over!

Imagine the fantastic drive through the Rocky Mountains to arrive in Beautiful British Columbia! Since you'll have 10000000 bugs splattered over your car, we'll give you a complimentary spa package

I will plan a date and itinerary for everyone by Friday! Also feel free to suggest any ideas (what you want to know/discuss etc)!

Thanks!

grn.eyed.bandit · 07-20-2010, 07:29 PM

great idea! i'll come if i have the day off.

kyo21 · 07-20-2010, 10:23 PM

Alright! We have 8 people intrested so far!!! (well 7...unless PiperD is willing to drive across country)

This number I can work with! Seems most of you will be free on the weekdays during the evening. We'll try to plan it for next week, so please let me know what days you will be free.

bugsandry · 07-21-2010, 01:37 PM

Thursday is great for me

Thanks for keeping me in mind, but despite my best efforts my wife isn't buying off on the idea

Mr_Jihen · 07-22-2010, 09:14 PM

Wow. This is such a good idea. A very commendable thing you guys are doing at Brian Jessel Autohaus. I would love to come as well. As for time, preferably after work. It's still good for all BMW owners right? :P

Of course, invite your friends, the more the merrier!
Although primarily we are going to focus on 3-series, I will try to budget some time for 5-series as well.

Very nice! Thursday night sounds good to me.
Very interested in learning about the new M5 engine but will still sorely miss the orgasmic f1-esque sound of the v12s.

cadthis · 07-24-2010, 07:05 PM

That day sounds good - I'm gamed

I'll be interested in finding out more about the Dinan products you have to offer...
