PhotoHunt: Metal


This steel and concrete edifice in Spartanburg, South Carolina is by itself, beautiful. But the BMW Zentrum is a treasure trove of art and technology and history that any car aficionado would appreciate. Among the many I found most interesting are the following:



A miniature model of what I believe is a BMW Roadster made from metal wires, a gift from the BMW group in South Africa.


The Isetta, BMW's response for postwar Europe's clamor for an inexpensive car in the 1950's.


And my pop will receive this one for Christmas from me- God-willing within the next three decades or so hehe

i generally love museums and history but- except for utilitarian reasons- i'm not really car-mad. but this BMW center we visited was something else; i have some other pics of unique finds to show- at a later time perhaps =]

thanks for visiting everyone!

Wow, great photos, all of them! The first one looks like a modern Colosseum. I love the little car.

I did Photo Hunt today, too. I hope you get a chance to visit and leave your link. :)
