On Monday I am writing Audi USA with suggestions for an Audi European Delivery program. I am not joined at the hip to BMW. Currently I lease a new fully optioned BMW every three years doing European Delivery. I could be just as happy doing Audi European Delivery every three years.

I believe that BMW is just caving into the dealers. Uninformed BMW customers generate a lot more profit for some dealers that use unethical business practices, including those that purchase board sponsorships at the Bimmerfest European Delivery Forum for more efficient fleecing.

I have had numerous people contact me with the misconception that a board sponsor at a European Delivery Forum is somehow a board sponsor because they are highly regarded. Highly regarded has nothing to do with it. You just pay your money and you get to be a board sponsor. If board members complain about a European Delivery Sponsor, that merits no consideration as long as the sponsor continues to pay for the sponsorship. Board sponsor = paid advertiser.
