Anyone have a copy of this TV programme please?
MUNICH, Germany — "Ultimate driving machines need ultimate factories," say the creators of the National Geographic Channel's new hour-long program that focuses on the building of the BMW Z4 roadster. The program airs Thursday, November 29 at 9 p.m. ET.
The program promises to give viewers an insider's look at the making of the Z4, as workers turn "liquid metal into raw power," according to a teaser.
The globe-trotting filmmakers spent time at the BMW factories in Landshut and Munich, Germany, as well as a week at BMW Manufacturing in South Carolina. They chronicle the building of a Z4 by humans and robots in just under 40 hours.
Environmentalists should be intrigued by the "green" portions of the program, which show a BMW factory recycling landfill methane gas from rotting trash to power its plant.
What this means to you: An hour well spent, as you watch a Z4 come to life.
