BMW is going to split. Not a stock split, but an actual split in the company.

Seeing the profitability of the European market and the dwindling sales elsewhere in comparison, BMW has decided to shutdown it's global operations, focusing on Europe and Asia.

The other divisions: North America, Austrailia and Africa.

Starting bids:

BMW North America: 50 billion
BMW Austrailia: 80 billion
BMW Africa: 70 billion

OOC:

Requirements:

Must have a real world location you RP from.
Must not copy any new models produced by BMW Europe
Must not sell in Europe
Must not interfere with another BMW section's profits
Must not whine about me owning a RL company
Must place real bids, no proxy
Must make your own logo. The jeweled one is mine.
Must not already own a car company(*looks at Foe Hammer and Steel Butterfly*)

And... most importantly: No Hijacking or Godmodding!(I don't want some hour old nation coming in here and bidding 900 billion, that gets annoying)

Any bid may be refused. Reason does not have to be given, but probably will be, because I'm a nice guy.

IC and OOC: Let the bidding war begin. Bidding will last seven(RL) days. Starting at midnight December 7 Eastern time.

Bump.

Where are all the greedy people?

Hmmm....could I have like, BMW Asia (I know its not on the list, but still)

No, sorry BMW Eurasia isn't part of the split.

The Sliponia Motor Company, maker of the SRX (similar to Subaru WRX) is interested in purchasing BMW North America.

Bid: $50,000,000,000

Fine fine, Ill buy all 3.

You can bid on Austrialia and Africa, we're taking North America..."If the price is right!"

OOC: About time.

IC: The bid is accepted. You will not be notified if you are outbid, so it is up to you to keep track of this.

I, The Great Ineffable Bob, wish to bid $50,000,000,000.01 for BMW North America.
If not accepted, then I shall bid $55,000,000,000 for it.

The first bid is not accepted, yet the second will be.

The bid is now 55 billion.

IC:
$120 billion for North America
And, $75 billion for Africa.

His Imperial majesty, The Great Ineffable Bob.

I'll pay 1,000,000,000,000,000 for all three of those nations. I am a very serious buyer living in a very welthy nation. I will only make this offer once, so I advise you make up your mind fast!!

2,000,000,000,000,000 for all three. This is my final offer. I need an answer soon... I am getting impatient.

410 billion for Africa

The only bid i'm going to make, not spending more.

If you ever sell Asia, contact me!

TG with spending limit has been sent. The SMC would be most happy if the amount of the limit would not be disclosed until after bidding ends (so as to prevent someone to go 1 over what we bid).

2,000,000,000,000,000 for all three. This is my final offer. I need an answer soon... I am getting impatient.As am I. Denied. Now go play somewhere else.

Sliponia: Of course I won't reveal the reserve until afterwards. It would defeat the purpose of you placing it.

This is a game isn't it, one of my best friends works as the marketing manager for the Benelux, he results directly under Dehenen.

He will like this game.

BTW wich BMW dio you like to drive, just deposed home in a 740.

740=car for old men, nothing special and I don't like the driving functions at the steering wheel. And 230 km/h does not feel as fast in this as in the new 6 series :wink:

*snip*Yeah, it's a game. And I can't drive yet, no license.

EDIT: OOC: The pic isn't there. Hmmm... I think my web host kicked the pics for copyrights. Curse them! Stupid law abiding good for nothings! :lol:

DING DING DING!!!

Auction is OVER!

B4kst4br gets BMW Austrailia and BMW Africa for 450 billion each.

Sliponia gets BMW North America for 451 Billion.

And no, you don't get to find out the resrve he told me. That's really not your business...

OOC Time: Is this (http://www.kaserv.com/data/images/clientlogo_bmw.gif) BMW logo okay? I searched for BMW North America, so I don't think it is yours.....but I just want to make sure.

IC:

Sliponia Motor Company is proud to present it's newest aquisition, BMW North America! All cars in the NA zone are now marketed and owned by the SMC, and will possibly undergo a name change such as BMW Sliponia. We would like to thank BMW Crimmond for not informing anyone on the amount we were willing to pay as we may be able to use that lack of information to our advantage in future purchases*. Thank you for your time.

OOC: *It means that if people don't know how much "we" were willing to spend on BMW NA, they won't know much is left to be spent on their company, so if "we" wanted to hardball them, it could more easily be done.

Heck, even BMW won't earn that back in a century.

But in real life, no I don't think they'd earn that back in a century either.
