“Every month we ask our colleagues to back you got to push back, but we do not answer that question - this assessment given the state of the automotive market in the country at the beginning of the year by the manager of BMW Group Bulgaria Alexander Milanov is completely valid for the first quarter of 2010

Benefit is 60, maximum of 70 cars are in motion. Others are dead. Cars - dead working for example two days, then have three months to repair. It’s nice to know people.
