Now that I am finished with my University Studies I plan to be more active in the M-Flight Club beginning this spring!!

The M-Flight Club Is Awesome because our main sponsor Pentagon Car Sales as well as our Club President, and Club Vice President and the other club members combine to make the Club what it is........A Great Club!!

Awesome right up and pics,Thanks for sharing !

WarrantyTracker · 02-08-2013, 09:37 AM

Ohhh, Regensberg. I've seen Munich and Greer, but Regensberg is the one I really want to see.

I didn't know you could get cars with factory race prep. Very posh. Quite different from the $25,000 USD club racers that get passed around from enthusiast to enthusiast here in the U.S.

StevenY. · 02-08-2013, 11:41 AM

Thanks for the write up. I would feel like a kid in a candy store if I got to see the BMW factory!

///M-Flight !!! Can't wait to start the tours this spring. I couldn't make this one but I will not miss the Hamann and Akropovic trips! Well over 100 on the autobahn, all together heading to the Nurburgring, an unforgettable trip!

ManiacGT · 02-08-2013, 01:32 PM

1100 cars a day.. That explains why my car was so poorly put together!

TT6mT · 02-08-2013, 02:03 PM

ManiacGT, lol and why my door panels are making noise.

Hybrid For Life · 02-08-2013, 03:18 PM

1000 cards day, damn!

c01000100 · 02-08-2013, 05:15 PM

For anyone in disbelief, -Yes- those pics represent extremely well what we actually got to see! Score! Thanks Dackel!

sergkoko · 02-08-2013, 11:41 PM

I was thinking looks like someone will have to invest in a new jacket very soon...

bnombe · 02-09-2013, 10:12 PM

I work for Boeing and have gotten a "VIP" Factory tour at the Everette plant but I would rather take THIS tour instead!!!

M3anRide · 02-10-2013, 12:14 AM

This was an excellent trip. Everything from the dinner and tour of Regensburg (thanks Genero) to the bonus tour or the race car facility. Thank you Pentagon Car Sales for being such a great sponsor of MFlight. Great time indeed.

JackR · 02-10-2013, 06:29 AM

What a fantastic set of pictures!! So much to take in I bet! Glad to hear you had a good time! No doubt a brilliant time had by all.

Zed2004 · 02-10-2013, 10:00 AM

Another pretty good plant tour to take is the one for the Mercedes ML or GL in Tuscaloosa Al. You don't have to leave the country for that one, and it's pretty similar.

While I have never been to a factory your in the states... On one of my tours to the BMW Munich factory... there was a lady who did tours for BMW NA in SC. She was blown away on how much better the German factory tours were! That's saying a lot!

She also said in the states they would NEVER let people so close to the welding robots because they can throw arching sparks onto the tour guests!
