The overgrowth on rusted old BMW parts is a great reminder to us gear heads that that are just hunks if metal and that our love and passion for these hunks of metal is finite.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7753.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> There are BMW parts everywhere throughout the complex. Every bit of space available has been filled up with something BMW related....  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7760.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> E36 on the left getting dismantled on the left frame and more modern BMW bumpers on the right frame.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8153.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This 318 with m3 engine swap is owned by one of the employees working at Strictly German. The guys that work here take apart cars themselves and sell the parts on the Strictly German eBay store. Each employee gets a very, very good percentage of the money that they make from their online transactions. Bobby mentioned to us that this 318 owner has just been able to buy a house with the money he's made from selling parts online alone!  That's an extremely good incentive to get up every morning and take apart BMWs to me! It's safe to say that the owner treats his employees very well.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8253.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This E9 2800cs was in the process of being restored for one of their customers. What a beautiful job so far....  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7738.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> An E21 with Aplina wheels. <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7734.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Here's something really cool. This is an E30 wagon with E30 M3 fender flares! I'm sure the final result will look fantastic!  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7895.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Here's an E30 up on the lift in the process of getting completely dismantled.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7914.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> When I mentioned every imaginable BMW part was around the complex, I meant it. This is a whole garage full of various BMW engines. Who's nerdy enough to be able to point out some specific and notable engines?  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7925.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A wrecked E36 getting dismantled for parts.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7937.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Engines were in every corner of the garage.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7958.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Wire harnesses galore.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7868.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This is a place that is very peaceful. The sunlight streaming into the backyard that day in September was warm, bees were buzzing about, birds were chirping and singing their lovely melodies and there were tons of old BMWs having a fantastic retirement in such a tranquil place.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Where there are radiators, there are radiator fans.    <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_7875.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Exhausts and front clips with Mother Nature showing german steel who's boss.   <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8014.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The way some of these piles were laid out created some amazing symmetry. My eyes get lost in the sea of doors.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8028.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> There were exhaust manifolds and there was Rod Chong getting giddy over so much BMWness.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8048.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This BMW 700 has definitely seen better days. <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8053.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A BMW 1800.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8077.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> When enough years pass by, Mother Nature starts to take over everything. Inside this car, the seats lost most of its fabric, a whole multitude of bugs made it their home, and there was an old nest of some sort in the trunk.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8107.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> I just love early 2002s because of how the taillights were designed.  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8114.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> I absolutely love this teal colored 2002. <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8240.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Who would love to have this 3.0 CSL door hanging in their room. I would!  <img src="http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/gallery/BMW_junkyard/IMG_8246.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Just like people, cars get old and tired. There comes a day that we have to just pull the plug on them and send them to the crusher. But if I was an old BMW looking for a good retirement and a place to peacefully be laid to rest, Strictly German in Braselton, Georgia is a perfect place to do so.  You know what? I just personified cars again. I'll have to keep telling myself that these cars are just hunks of metal... they're just hunks of metal... they're just hunks of lovely, gorgeously sculpted steel from the Bavarian Motor Works. That's all.     -Linhbergh<a href="http://video-candy-man.blogspot.com/2010/04/place-where-bmws-are-laid-to-rest.html" target="_blank">http://video-candy-man.blogspot.com/2010/04/place-where-bmws-are-laid-to-rest.html</a></blockquote>
