BMW Gets Windy
June 24th, 2009
AutoCar.Co.UK reports that BMW has opened a new aerodynamic test facility. According to the report,
The new Munich-based Aerodynamic Test Centre is spread over five floors and 25,000sq meters, took three years to construct and cost 170m Euros (£144m). Until now BMW had been using wind tunnels in five different locations around the world.
The facility – which will employ 500 engineers involved in BMW’s ‘EfficientDynamics’ programmes - has been built next to BMW’s FIZ Research and Innovation centre, which houses 6500 engineers. This, BMW bosses say, will allow aerodynamics to be more closely integrated into new model programmes.
