My bad ...

I was told yesterday the pics on mediapool were the official pics of prototypes from the DPC presentation / test driving.

You are not entirely to blame the mediapool was uploaded with X6 marketing material but we had a last minute delay , In which the engineers had to finalize something - We always have constant improvement , since our early problems with the E65 each model devlopment plan is prolonged to make sure something like that does not happen.

An M3 Cabrio shot of the car with roof erected driving through a torrential downpour had to be axed because the result did not turn out to what we wanted.

Plus in our marketing one of our hired free runners was injured so we had to go and do something else and then return to the Milenium Stadium in Cardiff UK so he could jump the Chasm of the sliding roof - we had four cameras one in a helicopter above , a helicopter beside and a camera looking up from the ground. But arrrgh! You are not allowed to smoke inside buildings in the UK anymore....

One car ready to go though for the end of January is the BMW 135i Cabrio (seperate marketing for this model).

So no more BMW news this year?

No there will be news to end 2007. Something has to end for something new to begin...

So it is in 2007 not possible anymore to simply take some great shots of a new car, with nice wheels and a nice color?
You now have to hire people to jump off roofs with helicopters to film it for the launch of a new car so that people can get injured and we have to wait weeks longer for our beloved pics?

Instead of all this crazy stuff, why not take some time to get some good angles for the initial press shots and a more neutral exterior color (not like the reddish M6 and greenish 1er cabrio, for example)

Give me the X6, and you will have awesome press shots next day. Plus, just you you guys, it's free


Well that's great! At least we have something to look forward to this month then. It would have been a quiet December month without any new BMW

Yes, in 2009.

So, no X6 press release this year? That will be a sad christmas.

Did you see - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER by Scott?

I have now.

But again: I was told the material from DPC presentation test drive is available there - incl some X6 pics. Yet still the taped prototypes - as seen in magazines. Kind a false alarm.

I guess there will be a "big boom" presentation of X6 at the NAIAS press conference in January 2008, and press material released just after that.

Hopefully we see M3 Convertible and the new DCT gearbox this month.
