Thanks for you efforts Fred, still remember when you posted your first report back in June 2004 and how everyone appreciated this info as it gave an insight how successful the design and marketing trends were within BMW.

all the best to you !
Andy, in case you weren't aware, our friend JDN was instrumental in getting Fred to post his data on this site by sending him a personal appeal via email, etc. (It was just after we all left Roadfly and we were all trying to help build this place up and give it some credibility...)

I sent a message to Fred as well and when he replied to my message, he informed me that "James Nicholson" had already contacted him about it and because of that, he was considering adding us to his list of sites.

Fred can surely clear up any details if he chooses to but I think that because he received more than one sincere appeal, he decided to participate in E60.net and we all appreciate that tremendously...

I can also attest to the great service Fred has provided to this site as well as others including the 6er site I helped form back about 6 months ago. Fred jumped right in and added us to his list. His efforts are so considerable when you think how much he does to add to the very simplistic data feed BMWNA gives out. I wish someone could take up the challenge to continue this great service.

But one more time - Thanks Fred

Right, I just wanted to let you (and the rest of the board) know that JDN had something to do with Fred posting here in the first place...

Fred
Your efforts are much appreciated and rarely thanked (guilty as charged). Thank you very much for all you have done and I'd like to request that you continue to do so if at all possible. Love seeing your numbers and you put them in a very readable format. Thank you!

My friend, I have really appreciated your reports and hope you reconsider, I am not standing in your shoes and I'm not 70 yet, but I played golf last week with my 86 year father who still works and two of his friends one 90 and one 78 who also work.

Be well in whatever you do and thanks again for your reports, in case your interested, I lost $10.00 playing with the old guys.
