Congradulations to the winners and thx for your participation

BMW has won nearly every Award. Thanks for your efforts Jack!!

i would have wished for more voters, maybe next year

People are just lazy. If there were polls more guys would have voted. They are just too lazy to write it down.

Yeah, that's a problem - sadly…

Thanks Jack for the effort! It's much appreciated

As for the winners, well they are what i wanted to win

I agree with results but numbers could be even better! 2-thumbs-up for Bmw!

In my opinion, it's more the technology this car has, then the design that make it such appealing to vote for…

Thank you for your effort jack! Very interesting results!

It seems that the new 7er and Scirocco are the cars that cought most of our attentio in 2008!
