Bimmerforums NAIAS 2007 Coverage

NAIAS 2007
With the absence of BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer due to the flu, Michael Ganal, member of BMW's board of management, headed up the 2007 BMW press event. As always BMW began the press event with sales figures for 2006 and gave updates on other companies within the BMW group. Overall sales figures came out to 1.37 million automobiles sold worldwide between BMW, Mini, and Rolls-Royce. Adding to the automobile sales figures, over 100,000 motorcycles also sold worldwide.

Yes. I know it's probably not called an Mkit. I just guessed. Doesn't matter. Here are the pics I took. Walmart messed up and developed them wrong so I couldn't post them till today...

335i





and the twin turbo engine


and the diesel


and the convertible



Looking back I didn't take enough photos. Oh well.
