I used to live next to the BMW HQ & factory in Munich, and regularly used to see some "strange" BM's knocking about. It was from November 1993 to mid-1995, and boy do I wish I'd had a camera - the funny thing is, when you see so many black BM's with the gaffa tape swinging off them, you didn't notice them after a while.

Anyhow, here goes...

E30 Touring with 5 stud wheels
E36 Compact 5 door
E39 5 series saloon (this was in mid-1994, completely undisguised too)

What a place to live - all that on my doorstep. No-one pays a blind bit of notice to those cars driving about - I'm sure if you went there now & had a walk around the streets on the perimeter of the factory, you would invariably see something different driving around too.

Just some memories...

Ive read about that in car mags, stuff like the ///M7 with the E39 V8 in it and the Pickup truck back E30 M3 all hidden away in BMWs priv collection.
