Finland is the most eastern and norther country in the EU.
We have more than 1600 kilometers of border with the Russians,
and we kept our county as a free democratic republic even after the
WW 2.
We have really long, cold and dark winters overhere.
The Santa lives in the Finnish Lapland above the Polar Circle lattitude!

Still BMW has now been chosen for the third year in a row to be the
Car Brand of all car brands in Finland.

BMW also has the most satisfied newcar customers in all auto categorials overhere.

Furthermore BMW won the vastest Nordic Country car customer
satisfactry survay once again, made by Auto Nordic Index.

BMW do win a lot of car magazine tests all over the world all the time.

So our cars cannot be that bad, but still I hope that we Forum members
are critical but just, so that we can enjoy the best cars on the market also
in the future.

Are your dealers up the their tasks?

Very nice country and good taste in cars. I have visited Helsinki and Turku in February and can confirm the lovely cold and dark winter weather.

Yes, and we are back now Oliver. We loved Brugge, and the Eurostar was fun too.

And, thanks for the post Rr. You are right that it is up to our dealers to uphold the BMW banner. Mine definitely has been up to the challenge so far/
