BMW Repair Billings MT

Tip of the week from Metric Wrench, BMW Repair Billings, MT, aiming procedures for fog and driving lights:

Park your BMW on a level surface with the fog lights 25 feet away from the wall. Measure the distance from the ground to the center of the lamp. Mark the same height on the wall. Turn your fog lights on. The lamps should be aimed straightforward. For fog lights, the top of the beams should be 4" below the mark on the wall. For driving lights the center of the beam's hot spot should be 1-1/2" below the mark.

BMW Fun Facts
Bimmer vs Beemer

Like the debates between Hillary and Obama so too is the debate between Bimmer and Beemer, you say tomAto and I say tomato.

Bimmer - proper accepted slang for BMW cars. Don’t feel bad if you didn’t know this, most people don’t.

Beamer/Beemer - proper accepted slang for BMW motorcycles. People around the globe misuse this term, but we can’t really fault them, they just don’t know any better, but now you do.

Bummer - When you get a speeding ticket.

Bitter - Another German car. Very rare; hand built.

So just why is a BMW car called a 'bimmer' not a 'beemer' or 'beamer'?
The answer in part lies in knowing some BMW history and what came first. All real BMW enthusiasts know that BMW got a big start on two wheels, what many call the real BMWs.

In those days, BMW motorcycles were quite active in racing, and one of their competitors at the track was often the BSA bikes.

Well as things would have it, track slang developed, and the BMWs were usually referred to as 'beemers' and the BSAs were referred to as 'beesers'.
So, of course for any true enthusiast, there is no way that a BMW car could be called a 'beemer', so they were called 'bimmers'.

Unfortunately, in the US and Canada, and perhaps other countries, there was a time (kind of still is) where for various reasons, a BMW owner was considered an upwardly mobile person, and of course due to the fun in driving their BMWs most all of them had big grins on their faces.

Hence it is little surprise that the non-enthusiast types out there incorrectly labeled BMW cars and their owners as 'beamers' or 'beemers.’

What is Litigation?

Litigation is always in the news, class action lawsuits, asbestos cases, drug recalls, it’s everywhere. But what does litigation really mean?

Litigation is a controversy before a court or a lawsuit. All action involves risk; most action involves the possibility of subsequent claims and litigation. The threat of litigation usually deals with the degree of injury. In most instances, lawyers are less likely to pursue litigation in cases where the injury is not serious. Most personal injury cases are taken on a contingency fee, and lawyers know that a modest injury will probably result in a modest fee that might not even equal a reasonable hourly rate. Also, if the case on liability is questionable, the defense is more likely to try a case of modest injury, and that makes it even less desirable to the lawyer. Where the injuries are severe, the odds of litigation are much greater.

There are two kinds of litigation: civil and criminal. If you break a state or federal law, you commit an offense against society. The government, on behalf of the community, begins a criminal proceeding to hold the offender responsible. A criminal litigation is therefore between the government and the accused or defendant. The government is represented by a prosecutor, typically a district attorney (for state prosecutions) or a federal prosecutor (for federal crimes). Either a private criminal attorney represents the defendant or a public defender appointed by the state.

A civil action encompasses virtually any non-criminal court proceeding. It can be a private action between two citizens, a proceeding by one person against the state, a suit by an individual against a corporation or any combination thereof. The party brings the suit, known as the plaintiff or petitioner, usually is seeking a sum of money (damages) from another party (the defendant or respondent) to compensate her for a claimed injury or loss. Sometimes the remedy sought involves not money but performance; one party wants the court to compel another either to do something he is obligated to do or to stop doing something that is injurious to one bring suit. In a civil action, the case turns not on the defendant’s guilt but on the issue of liability, a party is found either liable or not liable. The burden of proof required to establish liability in a civil suit is generally a lower threshold than the “guilty beyond a reasonable doubt” requires in a criminal trial.

In the either a criminal and civil litigation, the parties may never actually make it to court; they might come to a mutual comprise before the trial date. Parties to a civil suit might reach a financial agreement or other settlement, while the prosecution and defense in a criminal case might agree to a plea bargain, under which a prosecutor offers a reduced charge or sentence in exchange for the defendant’s plea of guilt.

What is Bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding in which people who are unable to pay their bills can get a fresh financial start. The right to file for bankruptcy is provided by federal law, and all bankruptcy cases are handled in federal court. Filing bankruptcy is a way to instantly stop all of your creditors from trying to collect debts from you, at least until your debts are sorted out according to the law. Which means if you are experiencing a lot of nasty phone calls, they will stop.

According to Tripp Finley, Esq. of Diamond McCarthy Law Firm, bankruptcy can make it possible for you to eradicate the legal obligation to pay most or all of your debts. This is called a discharge of debts. It is designed to give you a fresh financial start.

Bankruptcy can stop foreclosure on your house or mobile home and provide you the opportunity to catch up on missed payments. However, bankruptcy does not automatically eliminate mortgages and other liens on your property without payment.
It can prevent repossession of a car or other property, or force the creditor to return property even after it has been repossessed.

It can also stop wage garnishment, debt collection harassment, and similar creditor actions to collect a debt. Restore or prevent termination of utility service. Allow you to challenge the claims of creditors who have committed fraud or who are otherwise trying to collect more than you really owe.

But bankruptcy cannot fix every financial problem. And it may not be the right course of action for you. In bankruptcy, it is usually not possible to eliminate certain rights of "secured" creditors.

According to Tripp Finley, Esq. of Diamond McCarthy Law Firm, a "secured" creditor has taken a mortgage or other lien on property as collateral for the loan. Common examples are car loans and home mortgages. You can force secured creditors to take payment over time in the bankruptcy process and bankruptcy can eliminate your obligation to pay any additional money if your property is taken. However, you generally cannot keep the collateral unless you continue to pay the debt.

Bankruptcy also cannot discharge certain types of debts singled out by the bankruptcy law for special treatment such as child support, alimony, some student loans, court restitution orders, criminal fines, and some taxes.

Protect cosigners on your debts. When a relative or friend has cosigned a loan, and the consumer discharges the loan in bankruptcy, the cosigner may still have to repay all or part of the loan.

Different types of bankruptcy include:

Chapter 7-which is known as straight or liquidation bankruptcy. It requires a debtor to give up property, which exceeds certain limits called exemptions, so that the property can be sold to pay creditors.
Chapter 11-which is know as reorganization, is used by business and a few individual debtors whose debts are very large.
Chapter 12-is reserved for family farmers.
Chapter 13-is called debt adjustment and it requires a debtor to file a plan to pay debts or parts of debts from current income.

Most people filing bankruptcy will choose to file under either chapter 7 or chapter 13. Either type of case may be filed individually or by a married couple filing jointly.

As with any area of the law, it is important to carefully select an attorney who will respond to your personal situation. The attorney should not be too busy to meet you individually and to answer questions as necessary.

The best way to find a trustworthy bankruptcy attorney is to seek recommendations from family, friends or other members of the community, especially any attorney you know and respect. You should carefully read retainers and other documents the attorney asks you to sign. You should not hire an attorney unless he or she agrees to represent you throughout the case.

In bankruptcy, as in all areas of life, remember that the person advertising the cheapest rate is not necessarily the best. Many of the best bankruptcy lawyers do not advertise at all.
