Leave work around 3:30 go home and change cars then head over to see what BMWs they’ve got on display. Since it’s only 15 minutes from where I live, it’s not that ridiculous. It also looks like it’s finally reopened:

I always imagine they have a glass case with the first X5 in it, along with a historical plaque describing the luxury SUV boom and how people of the early 2000s though ;)
The Mercedes factory here in AL isn’t far off from that, but does have some M-B race cars, early Smarts, etc.

I went there once while travelling for work in 2003. I only spent maybe 15-20 minutes looking around before leaving, as I still had to drive back to Ohio. I’ve never been back since, and I’d really like to visit longer.

It’s been around 10 years since I’ve been. I’ve got to be over that way to feed a friend’s cat, so I figured I might as well stop.

I’ve driven past that factory many times, but I’ve never stopped.

I guess I can do that, as long as I take pictures, which I see no reason not to.

Pics! And have you looked into the performance driving school there yet?
I really want to do that one day.

I have, but it’s been a while. It’s a little pricey, but I’ve heard it’s worth it.

You should check out the one in Munich, it’s effectively a BMW theme park.

Been there before and enjoyed it, this is just a lot closer to home.

Hi Neighbor, the Georgia plate in your Versa post made me thing you live in Georgia, but you live even closer than I thought. Have you ever been to the EURO Auto Festival ?

I’ve heard about it, but not been. I moved here from Savannah in March.
