BMW's at Edwards AFB.

Postby Mr. Bones » Thu Jan 15, 2004 2:17 pm

last november, BMW tested three new models at the Benefield Anechoic Facility at Edwards AFB. it was the first time they used this as an automobile test bed.

you can see the three cars below. personally, the one in the middle (the 645Ci) is one the most beautiful cars ever built! if i'm right, it even has a Heads Up Display!

One can argue about the design, it new, not conventionel... But to say its the most beautifull around? I am not sure.

Anyhow, i had the chance to drive my bosses new 530i for a day, and man, i must admitt, it's one hell of a car. Fast; luxurious, comfortable, ... And the looks on peoples faces when they see a 27 year old guy driving one of these beauties, accompagnied by my pretty female collegue ( Bosses wife) is priceless...  ;D

But the saw the end of the car the most i have to admitt. Kinda sad afterwards when i had to drive my little Opel Astra again ...  :'(.

But one day ....
