Exciting news: BMWToday.de – our blog german edition has been launched

Hello everyone,

we have some exciting news today for all the BMWBlog readers, bimmer fans or german car lovers. For the past few weeks, we have been working on launching a german edition of BMWBlog, named BMWToday.de

Our statistics showed that a large percentage of people visiting our site daily are from Germany, to be more precise, Germany ranks number four in our visitors’ top, behind U.S, Canada and U.K. So therefore, we wanted to give our german friends a present, a BMW based blog, only in german, as a tribute to building such an amazing car.

We will work together with our german editors to make BMWToday.de the most important BMW related blog in Germany. Many news that could be found on the main blog will make their way onto the german edition, but also, they will provide us with the latest news, photos, rumors and any other BMW articles that could be found in german newspapers, magazines, blogs or forums.

As far as the design goes, we decided to keep the same format as the one seen here, so the transition will be smoother and our readers will not feel lost, but rather familiar with the layout.

Benny Hiltscher will be the main editor at BMWToday.de and should you have any questions for him, please feel free to use the contact form on the blog.

We’re onto something big here and we would like to thank everyone for the great support that you have given us for the past months.

Hallo BMWToday.de und….Danke!

As a suggestion:

You need to have forums not just a blog. You’ll get more traffic that way. Model it after something like bimmerfest.com.

@Toy Yoda: You might be right, but we are absolutely different from a forum. We’re trying to differentiate and fill a gap that was missing in the bimmer world. There are many wonderful BMW forums and we believe that they do a great job covering that segment of the market.

Time will tell if we’re on the right track.

@ Horatiu

Sure, but you got a good following of people right now; a few good “seeds”, which could grow this site into a wonderful blog/forum. Something more unique than a forum, something more unique than just a blog.

Anyways, just a suggestion.

@Toy Yoda:

Good point. Well, we’ll see I do appreciate the feedback and suggestions, they are always welcomed and makes this place less formal and more personal.
