About Me

Welcome

Thanks for visiting my personal BMW website, devoted to enthusiasts for sharing DIY procedures and related information. This site also profiles BMW's I've owned over the years.

The DIY procedures detail experiences gained from working on or modifying these cars and focus on topics not normally detailed in official literature. While carefully written, they are to used at your own risk.

This site is not legally affiliated with BMW N.A. in any way and solely represents my own experiences.

Site History

This site compiles data collected since 1994 with my first BMW purchase. I began chronicling my BMW experiences online in 1998 after developing my first personal website. Participating in online BMW discussion forums I decided to share DIY procedures with fellow online enthusiasts.

Later, some of these procedures proved popular worldwide and I began to receive numerous emails while exceeding my monthly bandwidth limits. I therefore moved to a full scale hosting account with matching domain name in November 2009, and gave the site the new look you see here.

I have also added a guest book and site tracker to help record feedback and visitor data. I hope you enjoy the site and find it useful!

My Background

I was born in Cocoa Beach, Florida in 1966 but grew up in Houston, Texas. After high school I planned to become a professional pilot but my interests were too broad to commit to a single career. After finishing two college degrees with trials and tribulations in banking, engineering, and politics, I moved to Austin, Texas in 1996.

When I'm not playing with my BMW's, I run a home business as a web designer and keep a day job in sales.
