Some automotive enthusiasts get their fix by building a car themselves. Others thoroughly enjoy watching the pros do it; i.e., assemblers on the production line. For these folks, the ideal destination is the BMW Group plant in Munich, Germany, where 8,000 employees produce up to 1,000 cars and 2,000 engines daily.
Five days a week year-round, visitors from all over the world are able to take a two-hour tour of this state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. For a fee, people can tour the plant in groups of up to 30. Guides walk visitors through each of the plant’s 12 halls and explain each assembly process in detail in either English or German. Attendees are free to ask questions throughout the tour.
