Hi, I have a feeling this is going to be a stupid question, but here we go! I have just posted about one and that has got me wondering.
On a BMW warranty invoice it lists jobs done with a column which is headed AW and then a figure under this which if 1 is £6.28, if 2 is £12.56. I am guessing this is some sort of labour rate, maybe discounted to BMW as its a warranty, but what does 1 AW actually stand for? Answers on a postcard please to..........

Hi There

1AW = 5 minutes

This is the wat BMW allocate time to a job and charge it out.

Warranty labour rate is normally lower than standard retail labour rate this is part of the dealer agreement when taking on the franchise.

Hope this clears it up 

Thanks for the swift answer. I am surprised they book it by the 5min, I would have thought they would have gone for every quarter, but I suppose everything is screwed down tight nowadays.
For a bonus point, anyone know what AW actually stands for?

Arbeitswerte = labour rate.

Damn it, thought 'awourly wate'

Did BMW sell out to the Chinese?

Is that the Hindi version?   

Or AW8ish? 

Glad it brought a smile to some faces!

Oh a survived Peppa Pig World, damn I nearly puked 3 times as my (almost) 4 year took me on a very warped ride several times!!!!!

Definitely mine

Crosses that location off the list then.......and go look at the Fat Albert thread in the fun section, that might really make your day...... :puke:

AW8-  It takes me 8 times as long as a BMW technician to do work on my own car  :-[
