By the way, does anyone know the GPS co-ordinates from the E60 BMW factory at GERMANY?

Is that you I see waving? Thanks for the coordinates -- you helped bring back memories of my two trips to Rio...

As far as the BMW factory in Dingolfing, the resolution isn't as good as the images of Rio but I think this might be the plant:
48?38'49.47"N, 12?28'2.20"E

Unfortunatley, you can't see too much...

It's cool, but I think it's one of those things that you play with, show your kids and friends, and a week later you're done--at least that's my experience (installed it a few weeks ago).

Yep. Same here.
Now, if those images would get updated, or if they put more high-res pics in there... But after playing around with it a little bit, you have seen the most of the interesting stuff and you'Re done with it...
