BMW on NatGeo 11/1/11

mds54 · 11-01-2011, 03:46 PM

FYI......

ULTIMATE FACTORIES: BMW X3.
Watch the National Geographic Channel on November 1 at 10pm to go inside the BMW X-Series factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Tune in and take a ride down the assembly line.

Thanks, setting my DVR now! I thought CNBC's "BMW a Driving Obsession" was such a great show, hopefully this one is as well!

^^ For sure!

Are you sure this is new? There is an ultimate factories for the z4 plant in Spartanburgh, NC. Kinda dissappointed with how the Z4 is made. Ever see how a Mercedes is made? All those machines welding!!!! Sparks!!! But those are for people that have already arrived. BMWs are for people who care how their car drives as they are arriving, sideways in a cloud of smoke.

Nope, but it was just announced in today's Online Magazine email from BMW.
The info specifically says it's about the X3.....

Ok, the new X3 doesn't excite me. They drive like SUVs for once. My friend's mom is looking at 08/09 X3's, best ones to get, and he drove one and said it drives like a saloon. He then drove the new X3 and hated it. His mom felt the same way. She is either getting a CPO X3 or a new pentastar 4dr wrangler. Don't know why she is look at a wrangler when her current one has had 4 alternators, left her stranded a few times, and is constantly in the shop for other stuff.

Anyone record this or found it online? No Natgeo for me.

GE · 11-01-2011, 11:38 PM

Doh! Forgot about it... it comes back on at midnight CST in case anyone forgot to DVR it.

Downloading torrent...

Really liked this show more then the CNBC special. My favorite parts would have have to be the whole process of painting/steps that lead up to it and the short segment on the factory that makes the seats.

mds54 · 11-02-2011, 12:57 PM

Pretty amazing stuff!
