    • groo68, on 07/07/2008, -4/+9Sounds like porn music.
    • EarthernJar, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Normally I'd associate music like that with waiting to get my teeth drilled at the dentist.

      If you didn't aready find out... actually cant believe thats on there..
  • yoder141, on 07/07/2008, -0/+6I was just there yesterday. This exhibit was really cool. The rest of the museum was full of very cool technology used to display information and show other exhibits.
    • gregdbowen, on 07/07/2008, -1/+3so whats up - suspended by thin wires - ??
    • yoder141, on 07/07/2008, -1/+1yep it definitely has wires but it is still very cool.
  • BassJunkie, on 07/07/2008, -2/+2*****........with pr0n music
  • Premier, on 07/07/2008, -0/+13It's time they stop using 'after the break'
  • greatbigbrain, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2A dimension playing that music is best left unvisited.
    BMW Museum's Gives Me My Brain Back, Please.
  • blanketfury, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7My grey matter is not the only thing I want stroked.

    Buried for lack of options.
  • paulsabo, on 07/07/2008, -2/+0I thought they were being suspended by some kind of EMF... ah well, that would get tricky, anyway. Pretty awesome either way.
  • MacBookForMe, on 07/07/2008, -0/+5I love BMW museum...especially, to sit in that big 7 series and like driving simulator...but my special one is Z8 (sehr gut auto):
  • danieldantastic, on 07/07/2008, -6/+1***** BMW. They pretend to be an ideas company but all they make are nicer versions of the same technology our grandparents drove. Even their Hydrogen 7 is just an old-fashioned gas guzzler with an auxiliary hydrogen tank. Show me something that doesn't run on gas and I'll be impressed, but right now Honda, Toyota, Tesla, Fisker and even GM are more innovative.
  • Sherman901, on 07/07/2008, -3/+1is it strange that i got a chubby when i read softly stroked?
  • wibambau, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2Whose?
  • repmekevets, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2buried for only showing one part of the whole damn museum.
  • Flipdawg27, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2whoa... i'm trippin balls
  • haentz, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2Reminds me of an awful lot of Demos on the Amiga. But they had better music...
  • neonsox, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Just digg me down. Go ahead. You know you want to.
  • bjs3171, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4pretty sweet, but what's with the porn music?

    and by the way. WHAT ***** BREAK??? IT'S CALLED A NEW PARAGRAPH. STOP SAYING THAT *****. GOD DAMMIT.
  • alexkball, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Am I the only one who was disappointed by the strings? Knowing BMW I expected some amazing technology of focused magnetization individually manipulating each ball to go where it's supposed to. I guess I ask too much. :(
    • kineticarl, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I at least expected them to replicate some BMW automobiles out of the things.
  • ferrariboy430, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2damn, i thought that they were floating
  • Bluuu, on 07/07/2008, -1/+0Read as "BBW Museum".
  • Khast, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Real life Vector balls! Inspired by the demoscene.
  • piper999, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Prodigy fan?
  • wassim2k, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Not as much as your use of an apostrophe.
