Credit Swisse is paying for US bankers "creativity". :thumbsdown:

Luckily some are not.

I didn't notice that.

That's a bummer. Credit Suisse was probably a major sponsor since they had plenty of publicity space. i wonder who took their place?!

What do you think Credit Suisse was in for as a sponsor? Let's say US$100 Million just for the sake of argument. We have about 27,000 E60 Forums members, which would work out to only about US$3,700 each (RON 12,370). We'll just have the Forum cling design put on the car! Anybody (everybody) with me?

Who knows, maybe it's only US$50 or $25 M?
