Hello,

BMW has to test the car all over the world. Each country has other conditions, other kind of streets or for example other phones. The have to test the durability; that they do at the teststand and in the reality at the old Nürburgring-Nordschleife, what Jacky Steward called "The green hell". People say, that 10.000 km on this race course are like 200.000 km or more in the reality.
But they also have to drive the car with all kinds of people, simply drive to get their opionion.

Regards
Klaus H.



arn't these cars suppose to be like all top secret, i've seen so many of these pictures now that i know what the car is going to look like. No other top car company that i know of has shown off there new shapes like the new 7 series. And why are there weird people driving these things. Old ladies in some, and this one guy in the other, doing totally no testing of the car, they afre just driving it around for all to see. Can someone tell me what BMW think they are doing?

Thanks, Rodzy.
