Not the type of news Mercedes wants to hear on the 40th Anniversary of AMG... This is great for BMW! It just proves that they continue to build superior engines (as the one in the McLaren F1)

Incredible how BMW has won so much engine awards lately! They should refuse some of them or it might look suspicious in the next years 
BMW didn't won 5 of the awards, but they don't have an engine to compete in 3 of them.
So basically, they only lost in the 2 litre category (x20d) and the 4 litre one ( new M3). That M5 engine is not really new, I'd rather prefer to see the Audi RS4 wining this one.

I guess that they haven't counted the new M3 V8 engine since the car isn't on sale yet - wanna bet that this engine will be the winner next year? |
Yeah, I thouth about that, but I wasn't sure. If the new M3 engine will win the award next year, the RS4 engine won't have a chance to win at least one

Another Great Year for BMW

Mercedes has been losing sales for years. My last dealer built a new store for the Honda brand, the old Honda store was supposed to get renovated for BMW to move over to, but it never happened. they keep bumping the new BMW store for other things, but they are completely out of room. Service wise they are scheduling 5 weeks out.
Mercedes isn't going to get a new shop because DaimlerBenz isn't requiring it. BMW required all their dealers to update by the end of 2007 or at least show signs of progress. Which this dealer in question only has an artist's rendering of what it could look like.
my current dealer is starting construction this month by demolishing the buildings that currently occupy the new location.
