Technique is very often personified in our time. Computers and cars become the protagonists of films, books, advertisements. And therefore it is quite natural that even a monument appeared to one of such modern heroes - the BMW car.

The ability of people to see the beauty and the great in the simplest things (although to call a BMW car the simplest thing, you need to have the audacity) is sometimes very surprising! But such is the modern world - paradoxical and universal.
