2008 was the second year for the company in the Indian market and they are doing well in these tough economic times.
They are pretty close to their rivals Mercedes-Benz, which sold 3,625 cars in the same year.
Mercedes has been in the Indian market for more than a decade.
BMW added that they are working on launching five new cars in 2009.
BMW India has already launched their new 7 Series and 3 Series sedans.
Their future new launches would include SUV X6 and X3 diesel. The company is also working on bringing a new sports model in the Indian market"
You guys have been educated... We love our BMW's in India

My Ride: 525d LCI - xenon, tv function,grey dakota leather,titanium silver,244 radial spokes.
Let me know when they get your brake caliper paint ready, going to use you as a guinea pig 
Still confused on what paint I should use on the calipers since the car and wheels are silver
Btw, I'd refrain from drinking & driving conversations here if i were you, hasn't the past bashing been enough... hahaha
To refresh your memory, and I hope you aren't drunk this early in the morning, here is a pic of my wheels after the paint job:
Also, if Navnit doesn't manage to get the job done, you can go over to Mazda Motors in Tardeo, thats where I got my wheels painted. They use standox paint and offer a-grade quality, porsche dealership sends their cars to them for painting. Even saw a Bentley GT being repainted to perfection on my last visit there. And the price is faaaaaaaar less !

Red is indeed very typical and racer-boyish, yellow too would give a similar look and not match silver well unlike Suchet's grey.
