    Ultimate Factories- BMW

    There is a show on the Speed Channel right now going over the process of building Z4s. So far its pretty decent. A little bit of BMW history too. Its killing the time while I'm downloading Top Gear. Check it out.

          Speed has been running the "Ultimate Factories" marathon pretty much all day. I watched the one on the giant Caterpillar dump truck earlier. Pretty cool stuff, none the less.

          Anyone catch the RHD one they were assembling?

            Yeah that is crazy. I would have never guessed that Z4s and X5s were both made in South Carolina, even the ones for Europe's market.

                        They play this at the dealer all the time; I'll have to keep an eye out for the RHD car. Someday I need to take a road trip down there and check it out. I've been to the factory in Germany, but never the one in the U.S. Go figure.

                            man, the BMW one was kinda cool, but really the part about the caterpillar truck was X10 sweeter
