Ok fellas, as promised. I only had 45 mins in here to grab these before the factory tour. And really wished I had longer, but would be catching the train to Austria afterwards so had to move.

If you have the chance, GO. It well worth it to see some of this in person. Including the F1 technology up close.

Thanks for showing everything I missed. What you think of the factory tour? It made me feel like I was in iRobot or the Terminator.

Great pics... I seriously want the new red M6. Beautiful car. They didn't leave the keys under the sun visor, did they?

There is a CSL photo in there somewhere... you should chuck your photos up.

I uploaded them to imageshack with the bulk upload tool.

P54B20 from the WTCC cars.

There are a few in NZ, including on in the race series.

I still cant believe I stood next to a P60B40 ... :D

Hey Josh. I was there last Friday doing the same tour ... small world !!! The motor cyclist did the same stunt at 2pm ish when we finished our tour too. Thought it was strange that they used a Husky bike inside the BMW building and not the BMW version. The tour was great and impressed that they changed the colour in the spray booth in 45 secs from one colour 3 series to another. Enjoy Oktoberfest .. we did but so many people ...

Ah cool :) yes I went early September when I was in Munich / Germany. I wanted to post these up same day, but internet was an issue. And posting images gets really hard on a tablet even with a few of them.

Yes the tour was pretty good to see in person. I've watched a lot of the manufacturing processes on youtube videos before so it wasn't a great suprise to me. Did enjoy the painting robots however and looking at the new 4cylinder Turbo engine. Its soooo small for the amount of power it has. Exciting times.

Cheers fellas. I have over 4000 more photos fromt the trip, might post a select few up in off topic later tonight.
