    That's GREAT ...that is the best thing you could have hoped for ... actually getting the correct information "straight from the horse's mouth"! It's soo much better than relying on speculation from people like myself who can only "guess". Best Wishes!

    haha....I like your attitude BMW....do you think as a man born in Canada I could find a good job in Iran? More importantly, do you think because I'm Canadian living in Iran maybe they wouldn't force my wife to wear a scarf in July when the temperature is 40+ celcius, if I moved there to be...
