Hello all,

Can I just clear something up? Total BMW magazine has NOT ceased
publication yet. We are continuing as normal and issue 75 is just about to
go to the publishers.

I have just seen the BMW Car Club column by Jeff Heywood and I am not
at all pleased. So I would like to do my best to rectify it. Future Publishing
does not intend to continue publishing this title but the intention is to sell
as many mags as possible to prevent closure. Total BMW is one of those
mags and the intention is that it will keep going with another publisher.

There is still a chance we may cease publication, but at the moment it is
business as usual.

When I came on this forum a few weeks ago, I wanted to clear up the
situation as I knew the news would get out. It would seem that everyone
has assumed we have stopped publication. Only we here on the editorial
team know exactly when it will close, or which is the last issue. Please
don't listen to anyone else in the meantime, as they do not have their
facts straight.

I hope this clears things up,

Cheers

Matt Robinson, Total BMW editor

Ditto.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass-out at 31 Flavours last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Yes, that's always struck me.

The chairman is also the editor of the mag. So, no bias there then.

Matt, good luck in the search for a new publisher.  The magazine would be a big loss to the enthusiast community if it were to cease publication.  In the meantime I'm sure we'll all continue to support it as we have done to date.
Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Prev:
e46 328i SE Touring, 330Ci, 318Ci.
e39 523i SE.
e36 325i Coupe *2, 323i SE, 316iSE.
e30 325iSE 2dr, 320i Conv, 320i 2dr, 316i.

Matt,

Great News Jeff Haywood is an AR*E, you should also read page 6 and 7 to see further ways he is trying to kill the club

Good Luck in the future

Regards

Hardly surprising really, Jeff's failed this test already.
