How should I get my foot in the door of BMW?

[Siphus]

I'm obsessed with BMWs, obviously like you all are... I really want to goto my local dealership www.richmondbmw.com but I'm unsure what to apply for or to do... Im 20 years old, with little mechanical experience... I've had a lot of customer service jobs, and sales jobs.. Even if I could be a janitor for BMW, it'd be a start.. I'm not sure what to do... Should I just go up there and tell someone this, or should I apply for a detailer or front desk clerk or... ugh, I dunno, I need help

do what im doing, go to UTI, take auto technology and do well and get into the BMW STEP program, this is what my goal is. I actually got a letter from BMW NA that said do well and we will take you. But I dont see why they wouldnt let you work at the parts department but for selling and servicing they like to have some training.

when I lived in south carolina 10 miles from the north american assembly plant, I knew several people that were employed there and they said other than the six month waiting list to get in, it was a awesome place to work. they also offer a employee lease program that enables workers to lease brand new bmw's of all series for something like $150 a month that was automatically withdrawn from their paychecks in weekly incraments. (or so I am told) I am on the list as we speak.

Just apply as an entry level lube dude. Or you could look to the independant shop. I used to turn wrenches at an indipendant BMW Porsche shop in Charlottesville. Love the cars hate the owners (for the most part)
