We purposedly arranged to visit Munich in our Europe Tour. I think we paid around 12euros per person for the plant tour where we walked into the live plant to observe the making of BMW cars. We actually wished to see the 5 series plant but we were told that the 5 series were manufactured at Dingolfing. Nevertheless, the plant tour was still a great experience. Our plant tour was lead by a BMW engineer so we got to ask some technical questions during the tour (my wife was previously from Proton). What we have observed was the robotic arms at the production lines were just super awesome!! Coping up with the demand, Munich's plant was rather cramped with floors of production lines due to the limited factory area. However, the layout placement of the robotic arms and the sequences were excellently designed to fit these space limitations. The best part about these lines are they are not fixed for just a model. The lines were designed to also fit other models (touring, coupe, etc.) which we think is a good planning arrangement.Each and every engine was personally attended by an operator and they were holding and referring to the manual for each engine they are attending to. I suppose this is a way they are trying to avoid complacency among operators and spot any deficiency on the engine parts.You can also visit the awesome BMW Welt and its BMW museum. You'll get to take photos with the BMW car models and we were lucky enough to get our photos taken by the BMW staff, printed and given to us for free (with a simple BMW photo frame). You will also get to shop for your BMW merchandises at the BMW shop. Here you will get to buy all types of BMW merchandises ranging from the t-shirts to quick-fix paint for your car and also baby's BMW car seat!If you are visiting Munich, don't miss the chance to go for their plant tour. Arrive early as there will be a few tour sessions in a day as each plant tour will take approx 3 hours. You may also visit 1972 Olympic Stadium (Olympia Park) located wthin walking distance with the BMW Welt. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
