He, too also have a hatred of newer cars with technology that doesn't make sense other than to use as an advantage to monetize from the common people.
I took to another level of working on such which he asks me advice on newer cars which I am forever grateful since he is the one who started my whole knowledge of this field.
My 2011 550i wouldn't make 116k miles today, while making 500hp and not burn a drop of oil and not needing to break the wallet if it wasn't for him.
Sorry of getting carried away lol.
Good luck, please report back with your findings.

I chose a different line of work: I'm an attorney. I love cars, but I came to BMW from older Japanese cars. I was doing Honda engine swaps at 21 years old. That was easy. This stuff is far more complicated than what I do. I see why BMW techs bill more per hour than I do.
