“2010 is only three years away, and already<br />
we have so much to celebrate!”<br />
No Vancouverite needs to be told they live in the most<br />
beautiful and liveable city in the world: we feel the thrill<br />
of it every time we stroll the False Creek seawall or zip<br />
along the familiar curves of the Sea to Sky Highway.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sheer beauty and uniqueness of this place is why we<br />
have all chosen put down roots, build our careers and<br />
raise our families here—not elsewhere.<br />
And with the Vancouver Whistler 2010 Olympic Games fast approaching,<br />
every Vancouverite—indeed, every British Columbian—is feeling the<br />
energy and excitement build. From the city skyline, bristling and alive<br />
with new construction, to the restoration of Stanley Park, Vancouver is<br />
evolving, growing and preparing to shine as we welcome the world, once<br />
again, to our city.<br />
For me, one of the biggest thrills about growing my business over the<br />
past two decades into the largest and most successful dealership in<br />
Canada is that I was able to do it all here, in the Lower Mainland. I am<br />
passionate about this place, and about the people Brian Jessel BMW<br />
serves on a daily basis. Just this past month we hit a new sales record<br />
of delivering 205 new vehicles! Our clients are the reason we are the<br />
success we are today, and it gives me tremendous satisfaction to be<br />
able to give back to the community of which Brian Jessel BMW is a part.<br />
This year, one of our biggest successes was unquestionably Cabriolet:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Brian Jessel BMW Fashion Gala 2007. Held May 3rd, with the<br />
support of Harry Rosen and Hugo Boss, this glittering event raised over<br />
$100,000 in support of BC Women’s Hospital and the VGH & UBC<br />
Hospital Foundation, while celebrating the launch of the first-ever 3<br />
Series hardtop Cabriolet.<br />
Our 66,000 square foot facility was transformed for a single evening into<br />
a magical oasis, where over 800 guests sampled cuisine from the city’s<br />
best restaurants, sipped wine and martinis and bid on hundreds of<br />
BRIAN’S MESSAGE<br />
donated prizes, including a year’s lease of a BMW 323i. Myself, Hugo<br />
Boss President Les Minion and Harry Rosen Vice-President Conrad<br />
Frejlich all agree that it was a spectacular evening, and it was an honour<br />
for our companies to be able to engage with the community in this way.<br />
That Vancouver has much to celebrate is not to say that the city hasn’t<br />
been faced with challenges. This year in particular we endured a storm<br />
that devastated Stanley Park and other coastal areas, and only now are<br />
we beginning the process of rebuilding. But rebuild we will. I am certain<br />
Lower Mainlanders will continue to face inevitable challenges with<br />
perserverance and innovation.<br />
Innovation is also a hallmark of the BMW philosophy. BMW is committed<br />
to sustainable individual mobility and maximum driving pleasure with<br />
minimal harmful emissions. Since 1990, it has reduced the average fuel<br />
consumption of all vehicles by nearly 30 percent. To reduce CO2<br />
emissions long term, BMW aims to produce all vehicles powered by<br />
hydrogen won from renewable sources, such as water and biomass.<br />
That’s good news.<br />
Most excitingly, BMW CleanEnergy technology was behind the creation<br />
of the BMW Hydrogen 7, the world’s first luxury performance automobile<br />
with hydrogen drive. <strong>The</strong> BMW Hydrogen 7 will enter into very limited<br />
production in 2008, bringing all of us one step closer to an emissionsfree<br />
future.<br />
You can bet I will do everything in my power to be the first BMW dealer<br />
to offer the Hydrogen 7 to you when it becomes available in Canada! In<br />
the meantime, please feel free to come visit us at Brian Jessel BMW at<br />
anytime; we’re always happyto see you. We can discuss the environment<br />
the political climate or even the lack of rain this summer!<br />
Now get out there, as I plan to, and enjoy the beautiful weather. And if you<br />
want to celebrate in a gorgeous 3 Series hardtop Cabriolet, well, my<br />
friends, as far as I’m concerned, there is no better way to enjoy Vancouver.<br />
You know where to find me.<br />
