I know that auto shows don't sell cars, but BMW has an all new 3 series, new 8 series, new Z4 and X5. Where else can you see all these cars and their competitors in one spot?

I was disappointed to say the least.

It is on your local dealer franchise association to fund the auto show presence. Bmw corporate only funds the majors (NY, LA). If you want them there then go complain to your dealer principals/owners. I agree it's stupid they have been pulling out of shows but clearly they want the marketing dollars elsewhere.
