BMW M Testcenter Nürburg
When you arrive at the test center, it is impossible not to feel a little awe and respect. All legendary M cars to date have spent development time in these garages. We are entering the sacred grounds of M, just a short drive from the legendary Nurburgring.
As a result, this facility was not always owned by BMW. It was first acquired by a mechanic as a repair shop, and this mechanic eventually demonstrated an affinity for modifying sports cars, including BMWs.
When the M brand was born, the decision was made to rent space from this mechanic in his garage. This same garage was eventually rebuilt and modified, but is in the same location as the original building.
The M Test Center now has 11 car lifts and is occupied by 50 to 60 engineers and test drivers.
BMW M Testcenter is not open to the public.
