Where do you work now again? Something BMW-related is all I remember.

I work for the ad agency that handles all US marketing for BMW.

Is it possible to make ads saying "Head down to your local BMW dealership and ask for a brown diesel 3 Series wagon"?

My E90 is SSII. Love it. Enjoy the new ride, man.

Sunroof or "slicktop" (carbon fiber)?

Yeah, you're pretty much going to need to list your entire option list...

Ha! Sweet.

Question: does your sales manager keep any car with a manual in stock? Just wondering about these things recently...

We have lots of manuals, not everything that is offered in a manual is stocked but we will gladly order one.

Good to hear that you've at least got some on the lot. Seems like many dealers only have automatics, and you have to special order a manual to get one. I wonder how this affects the overall take-rate (plenty of people don't like to wait when they're ready to buy a new car).

We have a few manual F10 M5's and a bunch of manual F30's. We just sold a manual M6 GC.

Very nice. I just love the fact that enthusiasts here in the US made BMW give the F10 a manual. Maybe the same can happen with the new GT3.

I don't really write the ad copy, but sure, anything is possible...once approved by BMW.

Well I'm just going to be shooting and messing around with one of these and an M4...but I DO have my M3 built :)

I'll post what I can here, but you'll see the photos on the BMW USA social channels.

Just make sure to link to that stuff here on OPPO when any of your stuff hits (it might be good for your personal "metrics" to show traffic from OPPO). You've got a lot of people here rooting for you to succeed!
