hybrid 1043 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 You missed the CSL for the E46 boys - and the mean pipes on the Isetta - and what about the dude rippng up the Welt staircase? haha awesome There is a CSL photo in there somewhere... you should chuck your photos up. I uploaded them to imageshack with the bulk upload tool. Officially turned on. What's that M54 looking engine with the crazy ass plenum towards the middle of the photos? 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 ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RvT 9 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 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 ...

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 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.
