Center dismantling Bmw

Now remove all lovers of BMW cars on your screen, take them with something useful. I will show terrible.

My acquaintance with the world of BMW Group in Munich started with a visit to the Centre for the dismantling and recycling of cars BMW. I arrived there in the morning, I was greeted by two members of the Centre, and led to show what they are doing here. I was led past the racks, which were brand new-looking cars. As soon as they were to disappear, dissolve over time, turn into dust. So BMW is supplied with all of its test machine prototypes that have been tested, which checked the work of the new units and technical solutions. Now all of them was prepared for one event - go to the press. But until then they still have to endure several humiliating procedures.

In the parking lot - all the color of the Bavarian automobile industry.



It all starts here.
At a special stand with the remote external control connected to the computer machine, there is the undermining of squibs connected with airbags.
Or, as they say, in the center - there is their neutralization. Including those contacts that disconnected from the battery located in the trunk.



I wore ear protectors, master pressed buttons on the remote. Inside the car began to explode pillows.
After a few seconds it was all over.



With these cars take off everything that might come in handy in the future.
All parts are on stock research center, where they are used in the new prototypes.



The following operation is performed on a specially constructed for this stand. Of all the machines pumped liquid in it: gasoline, oil, antifreeze.

Master untwists all that can be unscrewed and merges everything that can be drained.



The fuel tank breaks pnevmoburom. The machine can be lifted with one hand, it took to the fuel from the tank entirely.



The process of destruction continues.



Special manual pressure gas shock absorbers neutralized.



Some cars the engine is recovered for further use.



The shop, which operates the press, the machine waiting for their last hours. This used to be involved in the crash test.



I climbed into the booth operator presses and further removed through unclear plastic glass.



Iron hook crunching ripped from the body of the machine's heart. Cats on the soul of all scrubbed furiously.



Prostrate and almost destroyed the car is laid into the Procrustean bed of the press.
Now the top cover is closed and all ...



All the car is now - a small cube, which is now the same ruthless steel crane arm in cast iron container, and he went to the crusher.
Absolutely everything goes to the cause - of the melted metal, cloth, leather, foam will be ground into a powder and will be used in production.



Here is a nice cube, in which once turned into one of the test MINI, standing in the hall at the entrance.
A couple of days you can collect items for the whole exhibition of contemporary art.
Every year BMW processes so their 4000 cars.
The men, who accompanied me, told me that virtually every employee of the Center initially under stress.
Destroy the creation of human hands, but still is - a difficult test, even for professionals.

And then, they say nothing, get used.
