2010 Dallas Auto Show.... where was BMW?

dave909n · 03-04-2010, 10:03 PM

I just came back from the 2010 Dallas Auto Show (in town for work, always hit up this show every year) and this year BMW didn't have a booth. When I asked the guys at Mini, nobody knew why BMW didn't show up this year. Usually they have a big area and show off their new cars (which they have quite a few of new things coming out).

They were at the LA Auto show when I went in December, but not here in Dallas this year. Hmm....

Isn't the Geneva thing going on? Not sure if that would have any effect on BMW of North America though. I am surprised they were not there.

I went to the Cleveland Auto show this past Sunday and BMW wasn't there either. I was so pissed.

BMW was in Miami for the show here in November.

Decided on my M3 after seeing one at the Tarrant County show 2 years ago. Skipping a major show like Dallas is a strange move on BMW and the local Dallas/Collin County dealers.

Hope they will be at the Tarrant County show in two weeks.

Infiniti wasn't there either. I think the Dallas show is a dealer show, shich means it's up to the dealers to pull everything together. I guess the BMW people decided there wasn't enough reward to make it worth their while.

My buddy & I go every year, and I have to say, we were both very impressed with the new Hyundai lineup. The Sonata & the Tucson both looked great.
