"One of the things that excite me is BMW states that their goal is to create the 'Ultimate Driving Experience.' I am looking forward to discovering what that is all about. I think that my love for cars began when I was a kid, watching my father work on an old Ford we had. Cars have come a long way since then, but I still get excited by them. I am really interested in learning more about the technology that you have in your models. Should you decide to hire me, I look forward to sharing that passion with every customer I encounter."
