The Birthplace of our Coupes, Convertibles, E92 M3s, and 1 series... Regensburg.

Just tooling around Google Earth, came across this.

BMW Plant Regensburg... Birthplace of many of our toys...

Looks like someplace I'm going to have to go. You figure the closed loop at about 2km is where most of our cars had their first miles put on them as well.

Cheers.

Oh and if you are not familiar with Google Earth? Follow the links, download it and enjoy... I used to surf porn... Now I get sucked into Google Earth All night, it's just amazing. Hints at what the Internet can be, just amazing.

I was in Regensburg a few weeks ago for some other stuff. It is a beautiful city with an amazing Cathedral. I have a ton of pictures from there if you want to see anything in advance. If you are interested in a tour of the plant, be sure to schedule it early. I could only get a German tour with 3 weeks notice.

I took the factory tour in April after picking up my E93 335.Tour was awesome, about 3 hours long, in English, and showed the complete process of assembling the E92, E93 and the 1 series cars. The M3 is also built in Regensburg. Highly recommend a visit if you do an ED.

Hmmm, so my car was built there. Bravenhamen was the port it was shipped out of but I never knew if it was built there as well. Now I know. Sweet.
