EVENT DETAILS
Location: BMW Plant, Spartanburg, SC

Date: April 6th, 2002

ITINERARY:
1:30 p.m.: Meet at the lower parking lot of the plant
See the bottom of the page for pre-meet times and locations.
2:30 p.m.: See the Zentrum museum and manufacturing video
3:30 p.m.: Leave for Chimney Rock
5:00 p.m.: Arrive in Chimney Rock
5:30 p.m.: Have dinner at The Cajun Pig
6:30-7:00 p.m.: Depart

REMINDERS: A large group of Bimmers like this one will be a target for highway patrol, so please be smart. Be on time to the pre-meet locations. If you arrive late and the group has already left, continue on to the plant. We'll have plenty of time there before heading to Chimney Rock. Bring cell phones and/or two-way radios if you have them.

UPDATE (3-27-02): The plant is working on a new product offering (?) and therefore tours are not available until mid-summer. The Zentrum museum is open on Saturdays from 9:30 until 5:30. The museum shows a video about the manufacturing process every 30 minutes. So, the general consensus so far is to arrive at the plant and spend about an hour taking pictures, etc. We can then proceed to the Zentrum and see the cars and video. At that point, we will leave the plant and go for a drive up to Chimney Rock. The drive is approximately 1.5 hours, with the last half hour being mostly curves. This will be a perfect time for videos. Once we reach Chimney Rock, we will stop at the Cajun Pig for dinner. This is the plan based on the lack of interesting roads in Spartanburg. I know there is a lot of driving involved, so feel free to remain with the group only as long as you'd like. I'll pass out maps and schedules at the plant.

Since quite a few people have looked at this site and the pictures, Geocities said the amount of data transfer was too high. So, I had to move all the pics to a Yahoo album. Sorry, they're still named by the forum name in most cases. Click here.
