Welcome to another episode of The Investors Corner with your hosts Mike and Andy! In this episode, we dive deep into the dynamics of the Oxford property market with our special guest, Sherko Zen-Aloush, a renowned property expert from Oxford.  Episode Highlights Market Trends and Student Preferences: Students are becoming more selective about their living conditions, opting for modern and well-located properties. This shift is largely driven by the substantial debt burden they carry, making them willing to pay higher rents for better accommodation. Oxford's Property Market: Oxford's property market remains robust, bolstered by its prominent hospitals, universities, and the BMW Mini plant. The city attracts both students and professionals, creating a lucrative environment for landlords. Challenges in Student Lettings: While student rentals can be highly profitable, they come with challenges such as the need for guarantors due to students' lack of employment. The competition from university accommodations also sets high standards for landlords. Investment Advice: Investing in HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) in Oxford can yield substantial profits, especially in areas with lower HMO saturation. However, it's crucial for potential investors to thoroughly research local regulations and market conditions. Property Standards and Management: Many HMOs in Oxford require significant upgrades to meet student expectations. Effective property management and maintaining high standards can lead to longer tenancies and increased rental income. Landlord Advice: Landlords are advised to reinvest in their properties to remain competitive and meet rising tenant expectations. Collaborating with reliable agents can also enhance property management and tenant satisfaction. Meet our guest Sherko Zen-Aloush is a seasoned property agent at Avocado Property Agents. With extensive experience in the Oxford property market, Sherko brings a wealth of knowledge, particularly in the student and professional accommodation sectors.

Carmakers are not self-policing well enough and still buying parts from a firm that uses forced labor. Congress passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act law in 2021 but thousands of BMW mini coopers were imported into the U.S. with components from the same firm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the Shanghai Auto Show, the brand held an ice cream giveaway and their supply for the public was quickly exhausted. While this isn't surprising, video of a ‘foreigner' getting ice cream after Chinese citizens were turned away has sparked outrage. A source said the company planned to give out 300 servings of ice cream to visitors, but some servings were apparently held back for employees and the ‘foreigner' in the video reportedly worked for BMW. The situation is far from shocking, but the optics were bad and the company had no idea they were about to enrage millions of people.周邦琴Albert●没有名牌大学背景，没有英语专业背景●没有国外留学经历，没有英语生活环境●22岁成为500强公司英文讲师，录音素材全球员工使用●自学成为同声传译，25岁为瑞士总统翻译

Willkommen zum „eMobility update“ am Donnerstag, den 09. März. Diese Nachrichten aus der Welt der Elektromobilität haben wir heute für Sie in der Sendung: 00:28 VW legt Batteriefabrik in Osteuropa auf Eis 02:15: BMW entwickelt neue Verbrenner-Plattform 03:21 Mini bringt 2024 zwei E-Modelle heraus 05:07 Nio weitet Jahresverlust deutlich aus 06:36 KBA: Tesla Model Y im Februar vorn Das waren die wichtigsten Meldungen zur Elektromobilität am heutigen Donnerstag. Haben Sie einen schönen Tag und empfehlen Sie uns gerne weiter. Am morgigen Freitag sind wir erneut für Sie da!

The BMW Group plans to launch its first vehicles featuring completely vegan interiors next year. It will be available in both BMW and Mini models. The German manufacturer says this advance is made possible primarily through the development of materials with leather-like properties. “It will be possible to also use these materials for steering wheel surfaces, which must fulfil demanding criteria when it comes to feel, premium appearance and wear resistance,” notes the group. BMW believes the demand for vegan and leather-free interiors is set to increase further in the near future, especially in the US, China and Europe. The launch of such interiors will also aid the manufacturer in its ambition to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions over the lifecycle of a vehicle as it move towards climate neutrality, which is to be achieved by 2050 at the latest. “Replacing raw materials of animal origin makes a significant contribution to increasing sustainability in vehicle production,” notes BMW. “The introduction of a new surface material for steering wheels will see the proportion of vehicle components that contain traces of raw materials of animal origin fall to less than 1% in the respective BMW and Mini vehicles. “As a result, these materials will now only be found in areas that are not visible to the customer, for example in various waxy substances such as gelatine used in protective coatings, lanolin in paints, tallow as an additive in elastomers and beeswax as a flux for paints.” The new steering wheel surface material reduces carbon dioxide equivalent emissions along the value chain by about 85% compared with leather, says the company. Up to now, most of the emissions linked to leather – about 80% – were in the form of methane gas from cattle rearing. The remaining 20% was accounted for by processing of the cowhide, which is highly energy- and water-intensive. Climate Neutrality To achieve the group's goal of climate neutrality, BMW says it is relying on the use of green electricity in production and in the supply chain, a consistently increased proportion of secondary materials and natural raw materials, efficient electric motors and combustion engines and a high recycling rate. For example, the floor mats for various models are made from mono-material, thus avoiding material mixes that are difficult to recycle. As a result, BMW saves around 23 000 t of CO2 and an additional 1 600 t of waste a year, since the recycled floor mats and waste material are also reused within the production process. Research and development in the field of secondary raw materials and sustainable materials are also a priority. BMW says it is working with start-up companies to develop bio-based materials. Compared with the synthetic leathers previously used, these result in about 45% lower CO2 emissions. Mirum, which is 100% bio-based and petroleum-free, has the potential to mimic all the properties of traditional leather. Another new material, Deserttex, is made from pulverised cactus fibres with a bio-based polyurethane matrix. “With these materials, replacing raw materials of animal origin can be combined with a significant reduction in CO2,” says BMW.

Dan Balmer's current role is President, Aston Martin Lagonda, UK Middle East and AfricaI am excited and proud to share Dan's career journey so far with you. Dan's story is wonderful in so many ways. He is one of those very lucky people who knew what he wanted to do from an early age and so with that focus and through hard work he has been able to pursue his entire career in the automotive world. That has meant that he has covered an incredible amount of ground, both in terms of the roles and brands he's been involved in (Rover, Land Rover, BMW, MINI, Rolls Royce and Aston Martin) but also geographically. The extent of his experience is amplified by its depth and breadth. He has been involved at a granular level in vehicle design engineering and at a senior strategic level with global responsibility for marketing and regional responsibility for sales.

We're back for episode 105! This week we start off talking about the burping properties between Heineken and Great Northern, before sending out condolences to Mr. Ben Sewell who tore his ACL (rip). Then, Mitch breaks into a rant and argument about Matthew's comments from last week's episode about Porsche and turbocharging. Then Mitch goes onto another rant about BMW / Mini, and their false British-ness, then Matt rants about Mini, but about their ridiculous range - when all they need is 2. Joseph then brings up news about the Hyundai Genesis G70, and finally releasing their pricing/specs for the Australian market, and Matthew quickly talks about how his old Subaru Forester XT is still up for sale on CarSales. Joseph then talks a bit more about his new brake system, after getting used to it for another week, and Matt talks about how Garth Tander and his wife Christina Nielsen had a small bingle on track. Then Mitch talks about the sneakly little tricks that some of the Excel Cup teams use to gain an edge over the competition; from different ECU's, better engines, and milling out the ballast blocks. We then talk about LeMons racing, and what cars would make good platforms for LeMons or cheap car racing, and personalised plates and their extreme costs.

Kevin Fitzpatrick is the Vice President of North American Operations at Autologic Diagnostics Ltd. Mr. Fitzpatrick served as Chief Executive Officer at Autologic.us. for five years. His affiliation with Autologic began when he first served as a partner in eLearning, Inc., d/b/a Autologic.us, which began distributing Autologic’s diagnostic tools in 2006. During this time, he developed and staffed the first Autologic tech support center in the U.S., which provided dealer-trained tech support for BMW/Mini, Mercedes, Land Rover, Jaguar, Volvo, Porsche, and Volkswagen/Audi. He managed all U.S. sales, tech support, and marketing. In addition, he was credited with developing an extensive training program for Autologic Diagnostic customers in conjunction with WORLDPAC. He serves on the board of directors of the Equipment and Tool Institute, an automotive aftermarket industry trade association. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing and Communications from St John’s University in Queens, N.Y. Steve Zack has been Technical Instructor for OTC for 24 years. He is ASE L1 certified and is a U.S. EPA certified Emission Master Instructor. He has been a technician and an instructor for most of his career with a short stint as a service engineer. Steve has traveled North America and internationally helping technicians understand how to use their electronic test equipment to diagnose difficult drivability issues using a hands-on approach. He has been published many times and has been featured in numerous diagnostic videos. Matt Fanslow is the diagnostic tech/shop manager at Riverside Automotive in Red Wing, MN.  His primary responsibilities are to diagnose driveability and electrical/electronic issues, and perform most programming, coding, initializing, adaptions, etc. Basically, if it needs to be figured out or has wires, it goes to Matt. He’s been a tech since 1996. Matt is also a subject matter expert for ASE and has instructed at Vision Hi-Tech Training and Expo. Matt has participated on 18 ASE technical committees for the ASE Practice Test, A6, A7, A8, and L1 tests. He’s also done case studies for Standard Motor Products. Fanslow’s goal is to do everything in his power to improve the overall level of professionalism within the automotive and light truck repair trade and also raise the level of its public image. Hear Matt in these Remarkable Results Radio Episodes  HERE (https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22fanslow%22) .   Key Talking Points: Kevin Fitzpatrick Technicians need training- virtual online training Vendors heavily involved in industry- engaged with technicians in repair shops “On the couch” technician- stressed and need support and turns into new ideas and services fixes for software and products, need a different perspective to solve issues Kevin also owns a repair shop Steve Zack Bosch 27 years ADAS Calibration- need to follow all procedures and specifications (certain length bay, sunlight), dynamic and static calibrations, not profit center at this point Writes his own classes Shorten classes There is no shortage of great training available Matt Fanslow Advice for attending Big Event- walk the show floor and meet new vendors, learn what is new and what’s coming, and ask questions on troubleshooting tools. Give them your legitimate time to show their goods. They have helped defray a large portion of the cost of training. Visit booths of the companies that you already own the tool/equipment. Ask the questions on what else can the tool do?  Get specific. The verbiage in the industry must change: Basic electrical. Maybe should be called ‘Fundamentals’ or ‘Principles’ or ‘Physics’ of electricity Techs need this training, so maybe marketing with a nice title would draw more and help them become a top diagnostician   Aftermarket progression- shorter training periods in classroom and online with topics...

Sitting down for this interview I had only one objective: to understand how this guy makes it his duty to make as many luxury cars disappear out of the lot as possible. I wanted to break it down in a way that anyone listening - myself included - could replicate, raise their prices and get more customers. I got that, and a lot more. As you'll hear on this episode, Sloane is knowledgable (don’t take my word for it), and his competitive spirit has led him to break records for luxury car sales, including his own. We talk about everything from his university background to how he manages money and how it all comes together to build his courageous and wise character. Sloane Jackson is a Zoologist, Head of Business at BMW/Mini a true intrapreneur, and he’s my guest today. Enjoy.  In this episode we talk about: How to set yourself up for success with a 10-year plan, Leveraging your perspective and innate abilities to become an intrapreneur, The mindset you need to create solutions when others only see problems, And so much more!

[[:encoded, "018 BMW Mini Rallycross Champion, David Bell from County Durham, talks at Silverstone after securing the title"]]

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Thursday 12th July edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.   MINI ELECTRIC LOOKS ALMOST READY Let's talk about the BMW Mini! I had a petrol one for a year in 2008, black, petrol bags of fun even not the Cooper variant. Around that time before I was interested in EVs there was the original Mini E, it was a pilot program and is now discontinued. I'd have another Mini tomorrow as they're great for British roads, small enough to park and big enough for long journeys. So fast forward 10 years and I'm excited about the Mini EV. Carscoops says: "Our sneaky shutterbugs have caught the prototype (both inside and out) undergoing testing out in the wild. The prototype was also spied plugged in to the mains in a dedicated EV charging/parking spot. And the grille is all covered up, suggesting that there’s no internal-combustion engine inside. So unlike the Countryman PHEV, this prototype clearly isn’t a hybrid." Carscoops has 14 pics of the mini in yellow swirly camoflouage and I'll put a link in the show notes so you can see, but they do have just one of the inside. The dash has black cloth covering it, another sign they're getting close. There are three extra screens of test equipment, one that looks like a computer monitor on a large box on the passenger seat with two smaller screens about the size of an iPad mini stuck to the dash. In the footwells of the passenger side are a mass of wires. And how about this, you know on a bus or coach or train, you see those metal hammers often behind glass, with a sign which says "in case of emergency, break glass and smash window to escape"? I can just see one of those taped to the drivers door next to the handle...so are the windows either locked up or are the electric windows disabled? Either way I think it's a sign they're getting closer to production.   Meanwhile, India Times reports: "BMW Group and the biggest Chinese SUV brand, Great Wall Motor, announced a partnership Tuesday to produce electric MINI vehicles in China as global automakers ramp up development under pressure from Beijing."   Auto brands in China are required to make electric vehicles at least 10 percent of their sales starting next year or buy credits from competitors that exceed their quotas. Later, they face pressure to raise those sales in order to satisfy fuel efficiency requirements that increase annually.   The last I heard, Western markets will have the Mini EV made here in the UK in Oxford but given the disastrous process of Brexit and trying to untangle British manufacturing from a tariff free customs union, we're really worried that car markers will find it both easier and cheaper to move production to the European Union. Leaving the EU is currently looking very bad for the auto industry in particular.   https://www.carscoops.com/2018/07/mini-electric-looks-almost-ready-plug-ev-market/#lg=1&slide=13     TESLA Q2 VOLUMES ALMOST EQUAL TO JAGUAR The market intelligence company AID has been tracking Tesla sales vs Jaguar: "Tesla is already snapping at the heels of Jaguar. The question now is, as AIDs segment observers have put it most topically, based on Teslas latest sales surge it is not if Tesla will outsell Jaguar on the global prestige sector sales scene, but how soon?" They say:" Figures compiled by AID every month reveal that this second quarter, thanks in large measure to the long-expected but belated sales bounce from Teslas all-new Model 3 in its domestic US backyard, worldwide sales of Tesla skyrocketed to 40,740 units, according to Tesla. In a world were almost everything is relative, that directly compares to the only slightly higher 44,124 worldwide Jaguar sales during the same second quarter." So as I saw on Kyle Field from Clean Technica say today on Twitter, lazy headline writers might have to stop using the phrase Tesla Killer, maybe they need to start calling Elon Musk #JaguarKiller The thing I would like to add is the unknown of the I-PACE sales which Q3 will include.   http://www.eagleaid.com/AID-Newsletter-preorder-1813preview-d-Tesla-already-hot-on-Jaguars-heels.htm   MUSK GOES TO CHINA, BUT IT IS TOO LATE FOR TESLA I know I'm a simpleton who thinks out loud on a wildly unpopular podcast, but I do get confused. Jim Collins at Forbes seems to think Tesla has missed the boat to sell cars in China. Jim says "It Is Too Late For Tesla To Ride The Chinese EV Boom". Let see what Jim says in this Forbes article: "Tesla's huge head start in the Western markets for high-end BEVs simply does not exist in China. As evidenced by the rash of senior executive departures in recent months, Elon Musk seems to like to do things on his own. But the Chinese market, which has flourished through so many East-West partnerships, is a very different animal, and Tesla simply does not have the capital to compete there." He seems to conclude that because they're dominant in the U.S. they should be dominant in China. I don't think I've ever heard Elon or Tesla say that. Just that they need to build a Gigafactory on every continent in order to make the kind of cars, at the kind of prices, which local people desire and can afford. It's weird, the headline bears little relevance to the article. Has Tesla missed the boat as they say? New Energy Vehicle sales are on target to double, it's a market in massive growth. Unlike in the U.S. where they literally had to CREATE a market for cars, there's an exploding one in China, so that head start which apparently they can't be successful without contradicts the facts that when Tesla launch there wasn't even a race. Let alone a head start. How is it "too late" for Tesla?   https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimcollins/2018/07/11/mr-musk-goes-to-china-but-it-is-far-too-late-for-tesla-to-ride-the-chinese-ev-boom/#4fdbaab57a01   ELECTRIC CARS ARE THE FUTURE. HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD BE AN EARLY ADOPTER Huffington Post say you should be an early adopter, and not just of cars. But of electric bikes too. "Another reason to get on the EV hype early? The chance to try a whole other way of transport. Step up: electric motorbikes. Richard Jordan, director of Super Soco, supplies 22 motorcycle dealers with his brand, which has been dubbed the ’Tesla of motorbikes.′ “Our bikes are legally the same as a 50cc motorbike, so they’re light, nimble and nippy through traffic – the ideal commuting machine. Cost per mile is tiny – around 1p – so commuting into London costs under 10p, compared with a travelcard cost of around £7 per day [based on a weekly card]. The battery is removable, so can be charged from the wall at work, or at home.”   https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/electric-cars-are-the-future-heres-why-you-should-be-an-early-adopter_uk_5b337308e4b0cb56051dca58   TESLA HAS 100 MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE CARS FOR TEST DRIVES Elon Musk has tweeted about the Model 3s available for test drives: "Should be very soon. We’ve already made around 100 Model 3 Performance cars for test drives in stores." On last week’s edition of Ride The Lightning with Ryan McCaffrey he was speculating if they would rather you took a base model or Performance model for a test, which would be best for customers, so he tweeted Elon and that was the response. Looks like they've gone down the avenue of letting people rive the P3D and hoping, if they’d planned on a base model, to up sell them. That makes sense, basic business practice is to try and add value to a customer for a price. All that Anti-selling looks over, remember when Elon would tweet Model 3 reservation holders and say they should be buying a Model S?! By the way I've been playing too much with the configurator now it's opened up to everyone - i'm thinking white multi-coat paint with white interior is mine.   TESLA REGISTERS MORE THAN 6,000 NEW MODEL 3 DUAL MOTOR AWD VINS Simon Alvarez at Teslarati, who incidentally got a retweet from Elon recently, has been tracking VIN numbers too by keeping an eye on the Twitter use @Model3VINs: "Tesla has registered a large batch of 6,032 new Model 3 VINs recently, with almost all of them corresponding to the Dual Motor AWD variant of the compact electric car. The new vehicle identification filings come at a time when Tesla is actively pushing its deliveries for the Model 3. This recent filing stands as yet another sign that Tesla is well on its way to sustaining its production rate of 5,000 Model 3 per week this third quarter"   TESLA PICKUP TIMES ARE THE BOTTLENECK With so many people to get a Model 3 out to, Fred at Electrek has obtained an email to customers where Tesla are moving from making handover a one-hour hoopla, where your car is uncovered from a silk cloth draped over it, to a 5 minute quickie. The email says: "Learn about your Model 3: You’ll be driving home in as little as 5 minutes from your arrival, so please review the following resources below before your appointment until you are confident and ready to drive off:   Watch Model 3 Tutorial Videos Review Model 3 Owner’s Manual Visit your local Tesla Showroom for any additional questions Sign & Drive Pickup Appointment Check In Paperwork Signing 5 minute Vehicle Handoff in which we will show you the essentials to enjoy your drive home: Charging Bundle Key Access Vehicle Start/Stop Park/Reverse/Neutral/Drive   Tesla has produced 9 short videos to show different features of the Model 3 in preparation for this program." This was inevitable in some way you can't spend an hour making a song & dance over every buyers. Not when you have 5,000 cars to hand over, and 5,000 next week, and 5,000 the week after! You get my drift. I imagine the Model S and Model X buyers still get a more premium treatment.   COMMUNITY   You can listen to all previous 177 episodes of this podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, TuneIn, Stitcher, and the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

One Man. One Car. One Destination. *Transcript now available* In this episode you join me in a BMW Mini as I attempt to drive across Paris, through some of Europe's busiest streets, on a very hot July afternoon. My mission is to deliver the car to a car-park while avoiding angry Parisian drivers, pedestrians with prams, and busses full of Japanese tourists. The ultimate goal - a glass of cold beer on the terrace of a cafe, and to save the world through another episode of Luke's English Podcast, of course. Do I manage to complete my mission? And what driving-related vocabulary can you learn during this episode? Listen, and you will find out...

Gezeichnet von der gegenwärtigen Wirtschaftskrise steht die Automobilbranche mehr denn je unter dem Druck ihre Innovationsprozesse schneller voranzutreiben. Um die Innovationskraft zu erhöhen und Preise senken zu können, müssen OEMs stärker als bislang ihre Partner in die Entwicklungsprozesse einbinden. Wie dies effektiv und effizient geschehen kann, macht BMW Mini vor. Das Unternehmen setzt bewusst auf innovative Collaboration Tools von Cisco. "Ohne IT wäre der BMW Mini in seiner heutigen Form nicht denkbar", betont Dr. Markus Seidel, BMW Mini. Gemeinsam mit Moderator Wolfgang Rudolph beschreibt er die Innovationsprozesse bei BMW Mini und wie diese heutige Managementprozesse verändert haben. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei, welche Rolle der IT in der Automobilbranche zukommt. Besonderer Fokus liegt hier auf den Collaboration-Tools, insbesondere Videokonferenzen, die dazu beitragen Entwicklungszyklen zu verkürzen sowie Reisezeit und Kosten zu reduzieren.
