the leipzig factory from above

Dave · 01-14-2008, 05:01 PM

birth place of our 1er...

i figured we needed something else to keep this board a float with fresh news

so here is the satellite image of the factory with lots of new cars!

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...wloc=addr&om=1

see if u can find the plant, the "test track" and other parts

and i may be going crazy but alot of the cars parked in the completed lot look like 1er's!

enjoy!

You stalker.

bavarianbutcher · 01-14-2008, 05:23 PM

lol that's pretty tight.

bavarianbutcher · 01-14-2008, 05:23 PM

SCARY. but tight.

Oregon · 01-14-2008, 05:34 PM

Tight alright, tight enough for door dings. Our cars are parked really close to each other.

AwesomeBMW · 01-14-2008, 05:43 PM

i guess we know what the most popular color is

darknightohio · 01-14-2008, 05:56 PM

Use maps.live.com using the Bird's eye mode. It is MUCH cooler.

ChrisK · 01-14-2008, 06:25 PM

I see my car!!!! :wink:

Templedogg · 01-14-2008, 06:38 PM

Really cool, but the maps.live.com birdseye view is AWESOME.

Hope link works.

Makes sense you're in marketing/advertising...pretty creative thinking.

BiffF15 · 01-14-2008, 09:19 PM

Did you notice that the 6th ONE from the right in the North (top) row is just painted onto the ground? That is a military deception tactic.... Things are going on over at Leipzig... Actually under closer examination there are quite a few of them painted on the ground. Okay, all humor aside (or not) what's with that?

mikeo · 01-14-2008, 10:13 PM

Biff, man, what are you talking about? You know that USAF regs state "No smoking 24 hours before flying, or drinking within 50' of an aircraft" ;-)

Templedogg · 01-15-2008, 12:20 AM

+1...what up Biff?

1ToBeOn2Wheels · 01-15-2008, 01:26 AM

That's cool. I'm plugging the address into Google Earth as we speak. Thanks!

ZweierCoupe · 01-15-2008, 03:05 PM

It seems that about 90% of the cars are covered by black, gray, and silver, and nearly all by those three colors plus white -- rather typical customer choices for other BMW cars too. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the red ones on the lot are those being made available to the motor press journalists.
