Keep us posted on how you get on and good luck with it!

Well... One thing 10 year old Bimmers (please note the spelling: Bimmers are cars, Beemers are motorcycles, and Beamers are, I guess, laseeers?) do is make you become good friends with a local German car specialist indy. One potential benefit of a Tesla is that it doesn't have many of the types of parts that regularly break in BMWs, and even if something breaks, the repair process is not as complex. The whole thing is very modular, conceptually closer to a desktop PC. Of course, it'll take a few years to get statistically relevant data, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
