With a name like that I'd be inclined to believe you even if it is a
medical doctorate ;-)

BTW, I saw a current model BMW 318i the other day and noticed that they
are STILL using flap type AFMs!! Haven't BMW updated their systems in
the last 10 years? (on the 4 cyl cars) - I read about the new siemens 
computer used in the BMW M3 the other day, sounds like a trick piece of
technology. (Can't remember details, but it had several MB of rom and a
custom processor of similar power to a mid range pentium -controls
fuel, spark, (auto) trans, indepenant intake & exhaust cam phasing,
traction control etc.)

Cheers,
Craig.
