GERMANY – BMW apparently has a special place which is the door to hell for concept cars and trials that have completed their duties.
The location in Garching, Germany always receives various concept and test cars made by BMW every month. Not only are the cars made in Germany, the place is on the outskirts of Munich, Germany has also received a variety of BMW concept and test cars made from other countries.
It was at this location that all the retired concept and test cars ended their adventures. The cars were stripped down one by one and then destroyed.
BMW has been indiscriminate in ending the fate of these concept and test cars. Want electric cars, sports cars, to daily cars, everything must be destroyed.
BMW fans will cry sadly if they see directly the facilities owned by BMW. The reason is who can bear to see a sports car made by BMW that is special contrived to be destroyed.
“The cars are helpless. Crushed, dented, picked up, dropped and treated in a way that would horrify any fan,” wrote Autoblog.
The torture process did not stop at Garching. After all the components in the BMW cars that have been removed are then sent to another place to be completely destroyed.
Some of the other components will be retained if they are needed for the purposes of making or testing other new cars.
“Some parts that can still be stored and function properly will be set aside if deemed usable. These components are sometimes used for new car prototypes and some are sold to dealers as certified used parts,” explained Autoblog.
On the official website, BMW says that the sustainability process is a very big responsibility. From there they always try to make every product they produce not harm the environment.
“Sustainability is the keyword at every point in the BMW Groups process chain, from development concept of energy-efficient and alternative vehicles
environmentally sound production process for eco-friendly recycling,” said BMW.
So no matter how expensive the concept car or test car they make, in the end the four-wheeled vehicle bearing the BMW logo must be destroyed so as not to harm the environment.
