a Germany award given to a German company, how typical.... the so called "jury" are nothing but BMW lobbyists who are paid under the table :) good timing since BMW is expecting a 40% profit loss in 2008.

These coporate awards/recognitions are nothing but product promotional tools they use to hype the brand.

"Nikolaus Bauer, Director Chassis and Driveline Systems Production assesses the effect of gaining the award: "Our application for the Industrial Excellence Award..."

haha that tells the whole story, I bet only BMW applied for this award :) they win by default!

Never heard of it. They must be making up awards to give to BMW now. What next, the "Recognition of Achievement in the field of Exellence"?

0.9% financing and throwaway leases doesn't sound like a sustainable strategy to me.

I know you're jealous. I can afford to do more than lease some cheap BMW.

Quantum,
Toyota probably doesn't even know this award existed.

Own my Huu, don't lease.. Your lease conspiracy theory is treading on thin water as of late these days, especially since Toyota and Lex are doing so poorly financially.. Looks like you are going to have to come up with a different defense tactic.

I'm sure you will dream up something, you always seem to know how to spin the facts.. Should have worked for the McCain Party, you would have been good at creating lies.

BMW deserve any awards they win, they make excellent chasis and have good steering unlike Japanese cars, also the quality and in my own case I was a bit concerned about the cost of parts before I bought my BMW, but it is now 12 years old and in the last 12 months I bought 1 indicator light bulb, much cheaper to run than Toyota or Nissan, and before the Lexus fans make a silly comment the prvious year I bought no pats, in fact since I bought it apart from the lightbulb the only other cost was caused by some idiot backing into my car when parked, a new front grill, cheaper than I had expected after being used to the coet of Japanese parts
