Hard to believe it is the sixth year that
this event has been held.
Let the Urban Legend get set straight
about the first HomeComing.
- HomeComing was conceived by the Z3
Register (Wayne and Amy Lester)
- Given much life through the Z3 Message
Board operated at the time by a gentlemen out of Canada. A small group of
enthusiasts gathered to chat at this board on a daily basis and decided to
show-up at the plant on Labor Day weekend 1997--whether the event occurred or
not.
- The event was Executed by Walt Benke,
Director of Communications at the time for BMW Manufacturing plant 10 and all
of the wonderful plant associates..
We have been here since the start and
although our professional careers take up much of our time now, we have tried
to stay involved with the club. We have traveled to Homecoming from as far away
as 600 miles and as close as 6 miles. This years' HomeComing will be special
for two reasons.

BMW is celebrating its
10th Anniversary in the Carolinas. The plant originally produced 318's while
the Z3 started its life on a drawing board in Germany. The plant started
producing the Z3 back in 1995. |

This year will also be special because the
Z3 has moved off the production floor and into the history book to take its
place beside the Z1, M1 and the 2002. The last of the Z3 series has taken its
place in the Zentrum and will be on display during HomeComing.
Thanks again to BMW and the event planning
staff for their hard work to make this event a reality each and every year.
