    Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares, Inc.

    File No. 333-128127

Attention: David Lyon

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     With respect to the above-captioned Registration Statement, Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares,
Inc., as the registrant, acknowledges its responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities
being specified in the Registration Statement, and requests, pursuant to Rule 461 of Regulation C
promulgated under the Securities Act, that the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 6, 2005, as amended, be accelerated so
that the Registration Statement will become effective on November 14, 2005 or as soon thereafter as
practicable.

     In connection with the foregoing request for accelerated effectiveness, the registrant hereby
acknowledges that:

     • should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare
the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to
the filing;

     • the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in
declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility for the
adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

     • the company may not assert this action as defense in any proceeding initiated by the
Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

     We would appreciate your communicating to us, via Geoffrey S. Kay, Jenkens & Gilchrist, P.C.,
as counsel to the registrant, at (214) 855-4158, confirmation of the declaration of effectiveness
of the Registration Statement.

     Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments regarding any of
the matters described herein or if we may be of further assistance.

    Very truly yours,

    /s/ Robert Farr
