Just see this file in Google Earth... Way to go BMW...



Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload a file with that file extension.

I will rename the .kmz file to .pdf so I can upload it.

What do you mean, it won't download? Right click the file and choose save target as... Then rename the file to original .kmz... So you can open it with Google Earth application, if you have it installed.

Awesome! I like it!

You right-click on it and then choose the "save target link as" and then in the dailog for save as, remove the .pdf extension....then you should be GTG (Good to Go)

Good eye.

I once tried to find the Dingolfing plant where our E60s are made but Google's maps are not as detailed in that area. :thumbsdown:

Like the BMW emblem on the roof!

I found my house on Google Earth with my e39 on the drive. Some areas are really clear while others are quite blurred. It's a good feature though.
