Sean Kelly, Managing Director

Now that 2009 is well under way, it’s fitting to look back at the last 12 months – and forward to the next. 2008 was a very busy year for Vines, thanks to the further development of
BMW EfficientDynamics, the fuelsaving and performance-enhancing technology that’s now standard across the BMW range. We ran a dedicated EfficientDynamics weekend in June 2008 where customers brought their cars in for a free Efficiency Check and learned just how much they could benefit from BMW technology. However you can still book your car in for an Efficiency Check at any time.

Just call your nearest Vines dealership to book an appointment.

We also launched no less than seven new models, including the beautiful BMW 1 Series Convertible, the unique BMW X6 Sports Activity Coupé, the commanding BMW 3 Series Saloon and Touring, and the imposing fifth generation BMW 7 Series. Naturally we recognise that 2009 will present us with a very different challenge, and while the economic climate is unlikely to make an early recovery, we are confident that the current BMW range – and the forthcoming additions – will continue to offer unrivalled design, performance, pleasure and running costs.

In this newsletter we are pleased to bring you information on the eagerly awaited new BMW Z4, plus the arrival of the most efficient BMW yet – the 116d, as well as some exciting complimentary upgrade offers in the new BMW range. Plus read all about our fantastic evening with guest speaker Charley Boorman when he entertained a crowd of 350 fans at our Guildford showroom in January.

Finally, our Service Department look forward to maintaining your car with the same care and expertise as ever.

I’d like to wish you all a successful 2009 and assure you of our warmest welcome the next time you visit Vines.

Best Wishes
Sean Kelly
