other No more Bimmer Magazine

[nomalt]

Just rec'd in the mail today how Bimmer Magazine will stop publishing. April 2017 will be the last issue.

 

Too bad as I always looked forward to each new magazine.

Received the same thing today

I just finished the previous issue a few days ago.  Near the back I noticed the annual statement that magazines have to make about the number of copies they sell, and I was wondering how they can survive selling so few copies.  Unfortunately, they couldn't.

 

I really enjoyed the magazine.  Plus, there goes half my monthly-ish Mike Miller tech answer fix.

Rats.  I've really enjoyed that magazine.  Guess now is not the time to set up a multi-year subscription....

Dang!  Jackie (editor) is a really interesting person--I've met her several times on new car press intros--and I owe 'em a story on doing an E30 front suspension....

Guess you were a group of the few remaining subscribers. "Magazines" need to be digital, unfortunately we won't subscribe to them online.

Huge bummer! I've looked forward to this magazine every month for many years. I've enjoyed reading about many of the beautiful cars belonging to the enthusiasts in this community (Paul Huber's Baikal Baur, Matt Peterson's Golf tii, Paul Cain's Fjord monster, etc). I was also lucky enough to have my two '02s featured in Bimmer over the years. Ms Jouret did a phenomenal job and I'll miss Bimmer very much.

Any info on Ms Jouret's plans?

Double rats!! I love Bimmer Magazine.  Haven't received the new issue with the notification though.

I didn't receive the notice, but recently paid for a 3-year subscription.

Bummer on Bimmer.  It was a nice complement to Roundel.  Jackie Jouret found the Elvis 507.

Sent in my 3 year subscription just last month...maybe they'll just go digital, I hope they do.

Bimmer facebook page says "If you have a print subscription, you will receive a letter in the mail addressing subscription matters."  Issue 145 will be the last, so 2 more issues.

According to the letter:  for those of us with subscriptions beyond April the remainder will be fulfilled with "Excellence, the magazine about Porsche."  No digital future for Bimmer (not surprising, I don't think there's enough ad revenue there either).

I'm going to call them and ask to prorate and refund my 3 year subscription.
