Wont bore you with the Non BMW Pics Apart from first pic
I visited THe BMW Pavilion where you can walk around and look at some displays and also have a beer with staff. Downstairs they had a X3 With a difference.There were also racing machines and loads of videos to watch.They hold customer days/nights here also with music etc:
Car Made of plastic
Run Flat Tyre
Xdrive
Also on the Thursday i had a visit to the BMW Museum.Although the museum is closed for refurb (Round BMW Bowl) there is a temp museum at the Tower.It was not that great,but had some stunning older models
The Propeler
2002 Getting Restored
Mint Example outside of a e30
On The Thursday night i had my visit to the Factory.You were not allowed to take pics in there,so took a few from outside and up on the tower.The factory tour was superb.Amazing to see the cars being build from scratch thru to getting detailed.Could not believe they make 800 cars a day there.And you know what suprised me the most? They have a beer vending machine and the workers are allowed to have a beer on there break. Apparantly in Munich 1 Beer is Not a Beer Needless to say with there working conditions they have there is a huge demand for a job there BMW HQ
New BMW Werk opening Winter 2007
BMW HQ and Factory from 500 Metres up .

No - Mobile Tradition is different - not open to the general public - Friends of BMW they call it.......but depends on who you know... ------------- http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/2002/evo.html" - 2002 SportEvo http://www.freesmileys.org">

The Club do orginize Trips,but i believe you have to put your name down well in advance,but last year if you got the mag you would of seen how great it is.They went for a round 2 weeks and visit everwhere,Like Hartge Etc etc. Think the next one is 2007
My Trip cost me: Flight to Munich From Aberdeen Via Heathrow with BMI £168 3 nights B&B at Hotel Ludwig across from Main station £111 All day travel tickets for entire network (Everything you will ever need) 32 euro Musuem Tour 2 Euro Factory Tour FOC Tower Trip 4 Euro Food/Drink and small gifts 160 Euro
So Total 4 day`s cost me approx £418 I guess you could get 2 weeks in the sun for that,but hey it is worth it and cant wait till 2007/2008 for the new Buildings to be complete as i will be going back,but this time for longer so i can visit more
