Everybody needs a place to keep their secrets and work on obscure projects. Lockheed Martin has their Skunk Works, where black projects such as the SR-71 and F-117 Nighthawk were developed. Superman has the Fortress of Solitude, where he keeps the bottle city of Kandor and his Phantom Zone projector. And BMW has Plant Zero.
Hidden deep within their R&D center in Munich, Plant Zero is where BMW builds all their one-off prototypes. While it's not the sort of place they're likely to let outsiders run around freely, Bimmer has decided to give us a carefully controlled peek inside the facility (though they have redacted out some of the For-German-Eyes-Only sights, like what appears to be a BMW 3 Series GT prototype). It's definitely one of the coolest videos we've seen from a car maker in a while...not the least because the narrator sounds like the same guy who provides voice overs for all those Discovery Channel documentaries about Area 51.
