DIY at Bimmer Werks
By Mike Bevels
Bimmer Werks,
thank you for being a friend.
With your expertise, I've traveled
down the road and back again.
Your passion for BMWs is true;
you're a pal and a confidant.
Y
eah, that just happened. I adapted the theme song from The
Golden Girls as an introduction to this article. It works though.
Amr Alkhateeb, the owner of
Bimmer Werks, and his staff of
BMW Certified Master Technicians
have been friends to the NCC BMW
CCA community by providing
service, support, and a shoulder to
lean on since opening in 2014.
While they have the technical skills
and expertise to work on a portfolio
of car brands, it should be obvious
what brand is their favorite based on
their name.
Amr and his wife, Jan, graciously opened the shop on the snowy
morning of Saturday, January 18th
to host their second NCC Do-It-
6
Yourself (DIY) event. The Bimmer
Werks facility is extremely clean,
well organized, and provided the
perfect setting for this event.
Beyond their fantastic shop located
in Beltsville, MD, Amr and Jan's
passion for BMWs is evident
when looking at their collection.
Currently Amr's favorite personal
car is his E39 M5, which features a
breathtaking custom interior. Jan's
favorite is her X3, also sporting a
beautiful custom interior. When I
asked Amr to identify his favorite
customer car, he spoke of a number
of cars, including a supercharged
E38 7 Series and E39 M5, but he
eventually settled on the i8 parked
at the front of the shop during the
DIY event.
(Top) Bimmer Werks provided a spacious, clean, and organized facility for
this NCC DIY. (Above) Amr, Michele, and Jan replace the water pump on
the 2002 325xi.
To kick off the morning, Chris
Wootten, the NCC DIY Chair who
organizes and coordinates these
events, spoke about upcoming
chapter events and discussed the
schedule for the day. Chris then
turned it over to Aneek Roy, a DIY
veteran, who delivered the rulesand-safety briefing to those in
attendance. Work started promptly
after Aneek's briefing, and throughout the day Amr and the DIY veterans
were extremely friendly, helpful, and
patient while providing guidance
and assistance. Everyone else
followed suit and spent the day
getting to know their fellow DIYers
and lending a hand where needed.
In addition to those registered for
the event, it was great to see a
number of other BMW fanatics and
NCC members, such as our Vice
President James Laws, stop by and
enjoy the event.
The group completed numerous
jobs. I flushed the brake fluid on
my 2015 328xi Sports Wagon.
