::: Thumbs ::: Next >> ::: still trying to get to the manufacturing plant, we ran into a bmw museum. no time to do anything but whet my lips, i did manage to get a pic of one of their original engines. bmw began by making airplane engines. forbidden to make airplanes after WWI, it then went to motorcycles. then to cars in the 30's, back to planes in WWII, then forbidden again, and back to cars and motorcycles.
