You must have just missed it.....they ran a couple of tours the day I visited last week. Alas I missed it by a couple of hours also but wandered around Welt only.

Not interested enough in BMW to wander around the museum 😁

The factory tour is interesting. You can see how compact the factory is.

Previously, it is purely 3.

Now includes EV.

After the BMW Welt & Museum, I swung by Group Classic for a tomato mozzarella sandwich, a cup of coffee and a quick look around. (Even if there wasn't a tour)

We ended up here on Nov.14th, Remembrance Day.

Freezing cold but nice sunny day.

 

Few days later picked up this from Sixt. I had booked a small SUV but they took it upon themselves to upgrade me to a smaller car saying...... "This one M-Sport version, very good for your week." ......... Not!

Reminded me why I'm too old now for a manual gearbox, on the wrong side, in the dark, in winter and in a BMW. The only good thing about it..... the fact the rotary dial is also a touchpad to enter postcode/address etc. for the SatNav. Other than that I have nothing nice to say about it, sorry. It definitely cannot handle two large suitcases without putting a seat down.

Before going to the Mercedes-Benz museum, I played tourist in an ancient town.
