Subject: Total BMW Magazine feature
Date Posted: 20-March-2006 at 19:22
Hi Guys, had Total BMW ag up a couple of weeks ago, to do a feature on the Henna E28, six hours of loads of photos, poss doing a feature on the car in coming months. The guys seemed gen, took loads of pics, a few hundred, ( now their copyright apparently) to use as they wish. But get the impression they are as shallow as puddles! not really interested in the spirit of things, as much as making dosh only from a commercial pont of view, correct if I'm wrong.Trying to get in touch with the reporter since pics day ( Andy E) seems a waste of space!

Had the same guys up to my car in the NE and couldn't disagree more.

I found the reporter Andy E. very knowledgable & enthusiastic about BMW's & cars in general. They were up for two days, shooting my two friends Baurs on the second day.

We tried to make them feel welcome, taking them to our local pub & having lunch with them (which they insisted paying for). Andy E. has even taken the trouble to send me an out of print copy of a TBMW magazine which I was after.

Shallow? Not to me & my friends.

There are always two sides to things like this & your remarks probably say more about your depth of character & space utilisation than theirs.

As my old mum used to say, "If you've nothing nice to say about someone, don't say anything".

Really? Well at 40 pence a mile from anywhere in
their office in Bath you do the maths.

That's around £250-300 in petrol expenses alone.
Add to that a day rate for a photographer (£300) and
the same again for a journo and you'll see why
nobody does r/r days in Scotland. Sorry, but £1000 to
photograph 10 cars on a dyno is rather steep! Plus
do you really expect two guys to drive to Scotland and
back in one day for a job lasting 2 hours?

It was them that expressed and interest to start with at Gaydon, maybe it was sun stroke.  Some people seem to thing that Hadrians wall still exists. 

Theres an airport called bristol 20miles from bath, easyjet to glasgow £59 is you dont want to drive it.  And I seriously doubt if they would send two of their £100,000 a year staff to do the feature.  If fact if they were serious about it then they could have contacted the scottish region about them coming up to see Donny, Fast Ford did a feature on a cossie here years ago, and they covered six other cars while here, they then used one a month for the next 6 months in seperate features.

Note to self, start writing for Total BMW articicles are paid on day rate and not number of words as is usual for reporters.

Wrant over, their offer, their loss

WOW!!!!
There is a whole heap of emothion floating around in this post, and taking a view detached I can see Donnies point as well as Drew's
Regrettably the magazine is a business, full stop its there to make money as a by product it features cars that we to a man are 100% passionate about and completely enthused over. Sadly it really is too far North for the majority of mags to cover in a traditional sense, however if you work with these guys there are more ways to skin cats than this.
Donnie, I know your feelings on this as they mirror my own as we met in a very soggy Calander LMAO your passion and devotion plus perspective is spot on. but, as I work weekly in London or South Wales yet live in Ayrshire, the travel is a real expense and a killer.

Andy, there is a huge following in Scotland and to dismiss a trip as ten cars and a dyno is unfair.
Ten cars and a dyno an e28, e36, e32, B12 ekat then it will be "more" viable. Plus Andy, I seek out locations to photo both cars and the geography with digital cameras we can do the grunt in some of the instances Pete330 has astounded me with some of the shots he took of his 323i couple they are truly worthy of a mag placement in his attention to detail, working in colaboration you do the prose we can work on the pics and everyone benefits. I (we) are only at the end of a phone on location at meets (in the pub more likely!) to inject the feel. It has to be worth discussion?

As Derek suggests, I also scouted out locations prior to the TBMW team arriving. I also organised several other cars as incentive - the North East is the back of beyond to anybody in the south so the more cars, the more worthwile the trip would be for them.

Also pertinent is the attitude you take. Whilst a 635 is a pretty rare sight up here & my 635 is the absolute dogs danglies to me, to a professional journalist who's seen loads of them it's just another 635 with a proud owner.  

You can't expect them to fall on their knees & wail "We're not worthy, we're not worthy" when faced with your pride & joy.

Hi, guys, just to keep the record straight, I did try and contact Andy at Total a number of times, by phone and emails,  with no response, that said Andy has now been in touch, since the posting, and Ive now cooled down!. So apoligies for being a bit aggressive on my first posting. Saying that, it doesnt take a lot to keep in touch, does it!

Aye, OK AndyS, but the point I'm making is, we probably all buy the BMW Mags', we mostly make the effort to get to the bigger events (Gayden, Donnington etc), but are left mostly to our own devices up in the far distant remote north. And we all spend a lot of time on our cars, therefore making a point that the north and Scottish members are as important part of the club as everywhere else. Cheers

I'd agree, when it comes to Scotland we seem to be largely ignored in favour of english cars. Of course we are flippin miles away from base, but I don't see why a reporter couldn't jump on a plane and come up to a large meeting of cars to capture as many cars as possible. It's the same story with classic car mags, only once in several blue moons do you ever see a car from even the north of Englandshire, most magazines are based in Kent or Warwickshire and are therefore only vaguely aware that anything exists north of Leeds. I'd love to see more Scottish cars featured, but in reality it costs them more money and therefore are less likely to feature them.

How about a BMWCC Scotland magazine?

How about a nice big clubs feature in F&M - use the existing Scottish car mag? Maybe even a supplement - F&M BMW

Best way to get more Northern content in the BMWCC mag is to send it in. Mag doesn't write itself.

Is anyone co-ordinating Scottish content submission to the BMWCC mag at the mo?

AndyS in the middle of things again...

As noisufnoc said it was TBMW that showed the interest in coming up for an event, such as this one being held. Sunstroke john adds...you may be right mate Or it could be mere speculation from some of our members who knows??

If the flight to come up here is only £59...I'll pay for it. I'm incensed that TBMW are leaving us out, plenty of times I've seen RR's spreads with not even 10 cars. FYI,there may be only 10 cars for the RR, but a lot more are expected to attend.


The latest is that we've to submit pics and a write up for the clubmag...fair enough. If TBMW are requesting the same then a copy of the mag to us all who attend !!!

We always submit articles to club mag

What we are actually doing is submiting an article to BMW Car Magazine as they have kindly offered all regions a chance for there region to have 1 page in a mag to promote the club

Pete, I know we/you always sumbit articles to the club mag..and it's great that we get some decent recogntion for the events we/you arrange.

However, it'd be nice for us to have someone else i.e TBMW to do a spread on us...thats all. From a commercial aspect it would do no harm whatsoever for a glossy to attend a meet such as this one, no?

Glad to see this has all calmed down a bit!

As a features editor - if a car is nice and I want it in the mag, I have no probs putting it in. As has been said, this is a business and if a car doesn't get featured, it's nothing personal, it's simply logistics.

I understand the thing about catching a plane but how the heck can a photographer carry all his gear on a plane without a load of hassle?

FYI, I have commissioned a writer and photographer to come up at the end of next month. Not anyone's fault that it didn't happen to coincide with your rolling road day, but why not organise a big gathering or another event for when we are actually there?

I actually get very few scots contacting me with potential feature cars or events.

See we are really cuddely up here. Sometimes

On a more serious note though..

Nick we do have some nice bits of machinery up here.

Dunc has his M3GT, I have a Sport Evo and a mate of mine has an E30 325i sport with about £3000 worth of engine and suspension work.

There is a guy up north with an E30 touring with M3 running gear and engine and another E30 M3 Cab with a S54 engine, not to mention the other guys who have slight to moderate mods on their vehicles. Thats just off the top of my head.

I'm sure there will be something to get your teeth into up here.

If there are any potential feature cars, I'd be greatful if I could get pics and specs (doesnt matter if they are standard, they might be total minters or just unusual). Otherwise, it'll be a case of the freelancers trying to chase stuff when they are there, which could have sloppy consequences

Hello all,

Not as regular a poster on here as m'learned colleague Mr Odantzis, but
I'm Matt, the editor of Total BMW. Obviously, this thread started with very
high emotions and has since calmed down – thanks for all the feedback,
we are always keen to hear it. Whether good or bad, it lets us know how
we're doing and where we can improve.

We do not wish to exclude Scottish owners (or indeed owners from the
north of England). Obviously, as we are based in Bath, getting to
Yorkshire and beyond is trickier and more costly than getting to Bristol or
London, but as our readers are based all over the country this is a matter
for us to deal with, not you!

What I will say is that there is some wild conjecture about Total BMW and
costs – while we are a professional publication, we are not mixing it with
the Top Gears and Evos of this world, and we cannot just do every job
with wild abandon; I have to consider the financial implications of each
and every shoot. On the other hand, I know full well that you guys north
of the border have some stunning machinery, and we do want to cover it!
(Before anyone accuses me of southern bias, I'm a northerner as far as
Englishmen are concerned and I lived in Stirling for three years!
)

So, as has been discussed, the best plan of action is for us to come up
and do six or seven feature cars in quick succession (in the space of a
week) and then head off again. As Nick has mentioned, two of my
freelance contributors are due to head north soon to wrap a lot of cars
up, but if we miss you this time, there's plenty more good months of
sunshine ahead for us to come up again and do more features; it's not
like we'll only come up there once and then never return!

Sorry for the length of this post, and sorry if you guys feel like we're
neglecting you, but I assure you we aren't – if you've got events going on
or some great cars gathered, either email me at
matt.robinson@futurenet.co.uk or Nick (his email already provided in this
thread) with all the details and we'll get back to you – I can't promise that
we'll respond immediately (what with bloody meetings here in the offices!
) but we will keep in touch and do our best to co-ordinate a
great trip to Scotland to feature all your cars.

All the best guys, remember – keep reading Total BMW, and don't be
afraid to let us know about any events/meets you've got planned!

Cheers

Matt

P.S. Donnie, I can assure you that your lovely Henna E28 will be going in
the mag – again, we can only get 7 or 8 feature cars into each issue, and
I've got about 30 cars already waiting to be published, but it will
DEFINITELY be in soon! Keep your eyes peeled...

Thanks for replying Matt. i'm sure our members appreciate it.

As you can see we have a monthly meet on 30th April in Perth.

We also have a dealer visit coming up 6th May at Braehead Glasgow. All of which we are expecting to be well attended and have a wide selection of our memebers cars on display.

If you are able to cover any of these events then we would be over the moon and if there is anything you require from us to facilitate this then please let us know and will be more than eager to help.

Cheers
