    its a marketing gimmick after all, but then again, if they didnt do it, it would be pretty dumb of them as well. bmw pays millions every year to run their F1 team. If they dont exploit the relationship between the team and selling cars to people, it would be wasting those millions.

    BMW Malaysia should have included those blue and red stripes running along the side of the bonnet, just like the ones in the WTCC BMWs…

    is BMW getting desperate in selling their car? This think this strategy will “cheapen” their image instead.

    You pay a lot for a signature. I don’t think its worth it unless you are a fan of Sauber-BMW F1

    Damn rite about the Dato with no money. A friend told me that he had an immediate cancellation for a luxury model (not a base model) right after the election. Apparently, contract sure cancelled. ( I think more like mum,mum rather than contract)
