I'm kinda new, and kinda old. I use to work for GM but went to work for BMW. I left GM this past summer, but because of my non-compete clause, I did not officially start with BMW until October 1, 2011. Did you notice that soon after I got to BMW, how GM and BMW started making goo goo eyes at each other? Coincidence, I think not, it's all part of my charm ... I hope you didn't miss me too much ... :smilewide:

Hi PCS. Link to your avatar picture prease.

Looks like a photoshopped Holden Coupe 60...

It's a BMW design study ... With a hint of Oz DNA thrown in for good measure, not sure how that DNA got to Munich though ... :smilewide:

There goes the neighborhood...

I missed you too ... :smilewide:

I hope BMW ends up being fifth GM brand, now you are there.

Now this I can jive with......though I find it strange that Borger goes to BMW as they really are starting to grow on me.

That's it! He must be a mind reader! :smilewide:

Yeah inquireing minds wanna know. And welcome back you do seem to waffle a lot are you a plant at BMW to pull them into Holden or Opel?

Waffle me? You must be joking ... BMW has courted me for a while at least since this time last year, however the straw that broke the camel's back for me was when I heard Mike Devereux (Holden's Chairman and Managing Director) give a speech that made me think that GM wanted to close Holden. When I asked an acquaintance on the 39th floor at GM's corporate headquarters about my suspicions of the posibility of Holden closing, he got very defensive and would not answer my questions. Up until that time I thought we were pretty tight, but apparently not. That one moment changed my whole perspective on GM and my future there.

So now I work for BMW's Forschung und Innovation Zentrum (FIZ). Which means Research and Innovation. Think GM's Tech Center ... I help bring BMW's latest technology to assembly plants so they can install that technology in our customer's vehicles.

I think I've said enough for now, at least on what I do ... :smilewide:

Didn't you quit GM, go to BMW for like a day, then back to GM a couple of years ago? That's where the 'waffle' comment came from..

Actually retired to lock in my pension before the suspected sale of Opel to Magna, as I was an Opel employee then. I came back when Carl-Peter went rouge when GM decided to keep Opel, but came back as a member of General Motors International Operations (GMIO) in 2009.

BMW is not going anywhere, just remember who asked for the alliance, it wasn't BMW, but someone at BMW made BMW see the advantage of making this work ... BMW has enough cash on hand to buy GM, lock, stock and barrel ... :smilewide:
