Ultimate Pit Walk: The Heroes of Bavaria - BMWCCA Heritage Collection

Ultimate Pit Walk: The Heroes of Bavaria - BMWCCA Heritage Collection

Start at the 36min mark of the video below, IF you are only interested in BMW racing cars from the 2000s to the present day. Otherwise, watch this entire video from an exclusive evening cocktail party, showing off some (if not the best) of BMW Racing Cars ever built (and collected ALL together in one place) at a special event put on by the BMW CCA Foundation at the Heritage Center in Greer, South Carolina (across the street from the car plant and next door to the test track).

Join BMW legend Erik Wensberg as he walks through 75 years of BMW racing history. Filmed during the closing weekend of Heroes of Bavaria: 75 Years of BMW Motorsport, Erik gives the crowd what they're looking for...the dramatic and often hilarious untold stories from behind the pit wall. Want more on these amazing cars? The official exhibition book for Heroes of Bavaria is available on Amazon, Ebay, and the Foundation store! Go to: www.bmwccafoundationstore.com

Heroes of Bavaria is now featured at the LeMay-America's Car Museum in Tacoma, Washington through May 2019. Don't miss it!

The BMW CCA Foundation opened its inaugural museum exhibit, “Heroes of Bavaria: 75 Years of BMW Motorsports,” in May 2017 at the Foundation’s headquarters and museum building in Greer, South Carolina. You know the place. It's right next door to the BMW Performance Center East, down the street from the BMW Zentrum, and just across the road from BMW Plant Spartanburg where BMW Manufacturing builds the X3, X4, X5, X6, and starting next year, the new X7. The BMW CCA Foundation is smack in the middle of BMW Land USA,

It was an ambitious undertaking, to create a world-class display of 24 of the most iconic, significant, and sometimes one-of-a-kind BMW racing cars of the past 75 years. The work involved was tremendous, with Foundation staff and volunteers working long hours to prepare the facility, organize the supporting materials, and negotiate for the best possible cars.

The results were amazing and better than anyone had imagined. Private car collectors and BMW of North America stepped up to provide what could be the best such exhibit most BMW racing enthusiasts had ever seen, especially on this continent.

Eventually, however, the cars’ owners needed them back, so “Heroes of Bavaria,” which had been extended from an original end date of August 2017 until January 13, 2018, closed amid great ceremony and fanfare.

To celebrate the extraordinary success of the exhibit, the BMW CCA Foundation arranged for two final events on the weekend of January 12–13, 2018: a final curated and narrated pit walk through the exhibit itself, and a gala featuring two of BMW’s more renowned racing drivers: Brian Redman and David Hobbs.
