All good things must come to an end...

///Matt · 06-18-2007, 12:30 AM

Hey folks....

My car is basically sold.

Once she's gone, I'll be pretty much a forum ghost. I won't be around much.

It's been great being here, it's been like a home to me. I appreciate all (well most) of you, and thanks for the good times.

Also, I'm changing jobs, so I won't be a BMW tech anymore. My usefulness here has run it's course.

See ya. =)

GraphiteBrawler · 06-18-2007, 12:34 AM

Why did you sell, and I assume it has something to do with changing jobs?

Best of luck, no need to be a stranger, but what happened?

wj4 · 06-18-2007, 12:35 AM

Are you still going to move as well? I wish you the best in life, Matt.

It's been a pleasure talking to you and having you work on the car. Now I have to go find another tech from the dealership that can hold candles to you...definitely will be a hard task.

///Matt · 06-18-2007, 12:38 AM

I'm probably not moving, at least not for a while....

selling the car because I'm drowning in the American Dream (debt), and changing jobs because I'm tired or wrenching.

=)

wj4 · 06-18-2007, 12:40 AM

Will you still be performing installation services to the E90members? And when will be your last day at the dealership? Tryin' to get one last visit in, haha. :P

///Matt · 06-18-2007, 12:41 AM

I haven't got another job yet, I'm just in the market, I'll be at the dealer for a little while longer.

And I've pretty much ALREADY stopped doing side jobs, just because the liability is too high. I can't afford to fix things that can go wrong while I work on the car!

Ninjaneer · 06-18-2007, 12:41 AM

Best of luck Matt, it was great meeting you back in Dec.

I was actually wondering where you've been; I don't think I've caught too many of your posts as of late and then I see this post!

beauderek · 06-18-2007, 12:42 AM

Sorry to hear that, Matt. You gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck with everything.

EHDEN · 06-18-2007, 01:22 AM

farewell and goodluck!

OC Guy · 06-18-2007, 01:24 AM

Well best of luck to you Matt. It seemed like you were pretty well-liked in the community. Hope you can take care of your things but don't be a stranger.

wj4 · 06-18-2007, 01:29 AM

We should have a farewell dinner or gathering! Something to help him kick off his new career and show everyone how much of a help he's been to this community.

Neema · 06-18-2007, 01:32 AM

^^^ Yea we should. Thanks for the great work on my car matt! I hope everything works out better and just keep pushing through man. But dont be a stranger to us here cuz your always welcomed.

Vyruz Reaper · 06-18-2007, 01:35 AM

hey matt. im new to the forums, so i really didnt know what you do, but since your a tech..... can i ask you a Q?

is there a way to get the DVD drive to play dvds and watch them on the screen?

thanks bro

vYruZ

See ya. =)[/QUOTE]

wj4 · 06-18-2007, 01:47 AM

^You can search for that..it's been covered multiple times. Basically you need to buy a DVD player and put it somewhere and you will be able to view movies on your screen.

Let's try not to hijack Matt's thread, but it is possible by using this mod if you're comfortable with it: TVandNav2Go (Plays DVD's on your i-Drive screen) Install

canucklion · 06-18-2007, 09:17 AM

Hey Matt, thanks for helping me through PMs (god knows I've bugged you enough times
