True for all printed press.
BMW is getting record number in sales. Does not seem to hurt them.

THIS!!
Sounds like the old payola system where record companies had to pay for air play on am radio.. Hate to see it in the automotive media, but no doubt you are right. There's got to be a 'reason' as to why the M2/m240i, a last year 10 best winner didnt even get a mention this year.. Say what you want, but the car certainly doesnt drive worse than last year when it was everybody's cup of tea, nor has the competition so convincingly overhwhelmed it in 1 year's time.
PAYOLA!
