Wife got new job.......BMW factory

LOL. Wife got a new job over here in Germany. I almost crapped my pants when she told me it was in a BMW factory. (She is German) She makes parts for the interior (dashboard, center console, etc, etc) of the new E-39 or E-93 not sure but its one of those. She drives a 2006 C230. Her first day on the job everyone was asking her why she drives a Benz and not a BMW. LMAO. In Bavaria there are a million and one BMW's on the road. Performance parts are cheap as hell and readily available. She's making some bank too...Euro's are the way to go 1 Euro= $1.62. Anyway, I thought it was funny. I still have to make it to Affalterbach and the AMG factory, track the Hockenheim and visit Carlsson headquarters. Damn im getting behind. Ill get there soon enough. Thanks for watching.

Not a whole lot of Mercedes tuner types over here. They either mod there VW's or older BMW's. I know GermanC32er (mbworld member) is a member of the AMG owners club over here. Im trying to join also. They do cool trips to various tracks and have actual training with pros. Any mod that local Germans do to vehicles have to be inspected by the mod police (TUV). TUV has to clear any non OEM parts installed, similiar to CARB, but each individual pays the TUV for inspection. Its expensive. The TUV doesnt apply to Americans living over here. I can MOD freely.
