Re: Sime Darby losing M division
From a business bottomline perspective, selling just M cars is not viable. Hence, either Anthony Chan is gaining an initial foothold in order to impress BMW, and thereafter wrest (or just get a license from BMW, doesn't have to be the sole distributor) for all BMW models, or he must really be so passionate a car nut ... and a BMW one for that matter. Frankly, I think its quite brave of him to sink in all that money for showroom, maintenance, sales staff ... the whole lot just to sell M cars, with no overall business strategy in mind.
So if its for real, lets hope he's into it for the long haul .....

Re: Sime Darby losing M division
Perhaps there is more in it than selling cars. If you check out some of the tuners in the UK, they are really building a strong business around after market parts, accessories etc. and building an amateur racing series around the marque. (see Thorney CSL cup).
BMW are also finally recognizing that there are a lot of passionate owners out there willing to do upgrades beyond ticking a few boxes on a factory spec sheet. The BMW Performance range is a testament to this.
Owning an M, and running it hard naturally generates a need for maintenance. Combining the two and running a cup series in asia, like that of the Porsche marque, may just fly as a business model

Re: Sime Darby losing M division
Why would I be offended bro?
You get treated better because you go there so often, I only go there once in a blue moon. But when I go, I will spend more than you! So what is the big freaking deal if I spend more? They rather people like you who goes often. That is life and do not take a smart man to understand!
