BMW repair shop in Chicago

Moved to OT since it isn’t e9 related.

Given that he will need to drop the car off it would be good to get a major city. Is he downtown or in the suburbs. If so, where? “Chicagoland” is huge. There are plenty of shops that can make this happen.

Almost completely unrelated, but... My wife and I lived IN CHICAGO for years. We lived downtown in a neighborhood called Printer's Row (just south of the loop - two blocks south of the loop). When we traveled, we'd meet people all over the country. Countless times, when we'd say we're from Chicago, people would reply: "Oh, we're from Chicago, too". When we ask where they lived, they'd say Naperville, or some other wildly distant, random suburb. Naperville is NOT Chicago. It bothered us, and yet was so hilarious. But the odds are against us. A megalopolis of 8 million people, and only 2 million living within the "city limits".

Same here except I’m one of those people use creative liberty when saying “Chicago”. Also “Denver” and “Phoenix”.

Oh my! We first lived on Financial Place for a few years, but then moved to Plymouth Ct, too! We were in the Moser Building.

Okay... I was at 9th St and Wabash - across from original Buddy Guys. Imagine if all were coupe owners at that time!

Wow, we were all so close, really wish I did have my coupe back then. We could have all parked outside of George Diamond Steakhouse on Wabash and it would have looked like a Mob meeting :)
