BMW Welt factory tour


When I called the morning prior to the tour I had to look up what Welt meant...translation...World...makes sense...BMW World.





I think I would look good on this one -Eric


think we can fit this in the extra bag we brought?

This tour was AWESOME...well awesome and hot (literally...physically warm...one of the poor ladies in our group was dripping sweat). By far an eye opening experience at the attention to detail involved in making these cars. We saw the whole process from stamping out the parts from the sheets of metal...all the way through the construction, painting and detailing...to watching these things drive out the door (customers can order and pickup these babies here) It was cool to watch the car get on the elevator and go up to the show room where the new owner would get to look it over before turning the key. The coolest part...THE ROBOTS...I mean automation to it's finest...like what you see on tv...all moving in coordination...amazing!
