After this we got to tour the manufacturing plant. As the plant is down and across the street we had to drive there so we were each given a 6 series coupe to drive!!! No cameras were allowed inside the manufacturing area! In fact the tours were closed starting June 1 for the retooling and preparation for production of the X6’s. The technology and coordination of everything is amazing! I thought it was very interesting how all models are built on the same line. There were a lot of X5’s and Z4 roadsters and a fewer number of coupes on the assembly line.
Oh our guide told us something that I thought some of you might find interesting… BADGING IS OPTIONAL!!! – You just need to let your dealer know when you order the car!
After the tour we were left to roam about the museum for 30-40 minutes.
