Englewood BMW and MINI Repair

Last week, I posted the 2015 BMW Superbowl Ad, which kicked off a year of comedy in their advertising. Now that Superbowl Sunday is over for the year, we got to see a new ad from Mini to set the tone for their next ad campaign. Mini started off their next six months of the "Defy Labels" campaign, with this ad, featuring athletes, musicians, and actors: It's a nice message, one that anyone could do well to take to heart. Even if you don't drive a Mini! Looks like BMW chose not to place their own spot this year, instead concentrating on the Mini line. This is disappointing as I know that I was fond of the new ones that came out last year! Now we will all get to wait another year to see what BMW might come up with for the big game! We here at Absolute Motor Works would like to take a moment to congratulate the Denver Broncos on their decisive victory in Superbowl 50! Way to keep it classy, Peyton and crew! Denver is proud to have you bring us home another championsh ... read more

Hello, Denver! What an exciting time for sports here in the Mile High City! This Sunday, the Broncos will be challenging the Carolina (or is it Florida? lol) Panthers in Superbowl 50! Let's hope they can bring us home another championship! (And let us not forget the Avalanche, who have worked their way back up into a playoff spot!) Even when our home team isn't playing in the big game, people LOVE to tune in to check out the adverts that companies spend millions of dollars to place in this prime advertising spot. Everyone knows and loves the cute, heartwarming ads by Budweiser, but I know that people really look forward to the funny ones! Since I can't stand spoilers, I dug up BMW's hilarious ad from last year's Superbowl, that led to a series of similar ads from them with a bent towards chuckles. What sort of ad do you think they will com ... read more

We value you, our clients, and want you to have a nice experience when you come to visit us here at our shop. Pictures will be coming in a near future update

I was thinking about a new fun video to post up for our readers, and started chatting with our Technicians to see if they had anything fun they'd like to see here on our blog. This video popped to mind after I mentioned the E30 3 series convertible clip I last posted. James from BBC's infinitely educational car show Top Gear delivers a side by side comparison between rivals BMW and Mercedes. With a little help from The Stig, we get to find out which car is the best choice! We'd love to hear your thoughts on which car you think you'd like to drive (or be driven in!)

The fellows from Top Gear do it again! In this fun video clip, our favorite trio of car guys get their hands on late 1980s BMW 3 series convertibles, and put them to several comparison tests. One has been hacked to death with aftermarket accessories, one has an automatic transmission, and the last has a manual transmission. Hilarity ensues when first Jeremy & James head off for a 0-100 race (leaving Richard behind when his alarm system goes out of whack), followed by a trip to a forensics lab, to see just what kind of history the three cars may have experienced. Finally, they test the theft prevention of all three convertibles. As usual, when the Top Gear guys get their hands onto anything, you can expect good humo(u)r and mild disaster. The video itself is from a few years ago, but worth the watch even four years later! Enjoy

Update! Power has been restored. Good job on exceeding repair time estimates, Xcel! We are experiencing an area wide power outage this morning. For the time being, our battery backups will keep the computers and phones up and running, but shop work is at a standstill. Xcel Energy states they expect power to be back by 12:42 pm

Almost everyone who drives any kind of vehicle has acquired some kind of dents or dings over the course of ownership, and many people have dealt with the repair of those kinds of blemishes. Sometimes a person may choose to leave a dent be for a period of time due to cost of repair or time constraints, and most of the time, this course of inaction as it were is not an issue because the body damage is cosmetic at worst and doesn't affect the driveability of the car. This week, I saw a customer who drives a lovely low mileage E36 convertible, who happens to be one of those people who had some cosmetic dents and dings. She had planned to get them repaired at a reputable body shop when time allowed, but has had many life events occurring over the last year or so, and so put it off until she would have time to be without the car. Then, a predator struck. A scammer approached her in a parking lot, and like s ... read more

In honor of the 20th anniversary of the cult classic film Hackers, I've dug up an article published a few days ago by the folks over at IGN.com about a device called Ownstar. It looks like a hacker has identified a weakness in the Wi-Fi security of several different car makes, including BMW. It does appear, however, that the hacker is using his powers for good, instead of evil. Click through into this post to check out the article here on IGN.com
