BMW Plant in Spartanburg, SC

Here is another picture of the Formula2 car seen earlier.

Here is one of the er motorcylces in my opinion. This was on the floor next to the Formula2 car and also the first vehicle (a motorcycle) to drive the entire Pan-American highway. That was a highly weathered motorcycle!

Here is the Heishman BMW. It had a shot at the land-speed record, but it had several malfunctions on the final run. On the run prior to the mishap it got to 325+mph. It is the fastest BMW in the world. It runs off of a highly modified M3 engine.

My final pic!
Here is another car whose name I can't remember, but it didn't have a tag next to it anyway. I think it's a Le Mans car, but I can't be certain. I think it's funny how the engineers went out of their way to put the kidney grill on the front. It does look nice, tho. I have my picture next to this car, but I'm not posting that! Not yet anyway. The engine in the back is the same as the one in the car. It's massive and has BMW MPower written really big on it. Behind this car they had a movie playing about BMW's racing history. It was really quite interesting.

Other things that I didn't take pictures of include:[list=1][*]The 1st BMW to roll off the assembly line in SC. It had all the signatures of the employees who worked on it.[*]An old black BMW that I don't know the name of. You can see a little bit of it in the picture of the Hieshman[*]The first Z3, Mcoupe and X5 that rolled off the line[*]Any of the brochure cars[*]Two art cars. One of was an E36 M3 and the other was a 5series[*]A huge line of BMW engines[*]Several cars that were in BMW's 30s, 40s and 50s era. I didn't really like the look[*]A formula 1 engine with twin intercoolers, I can't believe that I didn't get a picture of this. [*]A BMW 20's convertible.[/list=1]

Edit:This seems like a waste of a post, and it is, but I can't seem to delete it. I accidently hit the "send reply" button too soon, so this post came out as an unfinished version of the post below. I can't delete it. So I edited it to have the zentrum website.

Here is a picture of some of those older cars that I didn't think I had a picture of. The Isetta is a yucky green.

Nice pics! Sounds like a cool place to visit.

That white car you like is actually a E36 M3 CSL. The CSL was the special lightweight edition (200-300 lbs lighter than regular).

correction... that is the M3 LTW(lightweight). you just got the name wrong. all LTW's are '95s and are very cool. have special options the stock E36 M3 didn't have.
