I made sure I made my way up to BMW world while on my vacation to Bavaria. Man was that a cool experience! I was day dreaming about maintaining all those vehicles. Give me the Flex and Menzerna and I'm good to go.

Awesome mike. Even an audi guy can appreciate that.

So how was the delivery prep in Bavaria? Did they hack up the paint like we see in the US?
 
I love it. Can't wait to see the next round of photos...

I hope you all enjoyed my little experience.
 
So very cool. Thanks for sharing Mike. I need to go back to Munich. It's been way to long...
 
Awesome mike. Even an audi guy can appreciate that.

So how was the delivery prep in Bavaria? Did they hack up the paint like we see in the US?

I did not get on the delivery floor where customers were receiving their new vehicles.

The cars on display looked pretty good however. Probably did not see any machine work.

I will saw that there is an over abundance of vehicle running around in Germany with rotary love marks.

Mike, I love seeing your pics. You have been on some great tours. Did you go in the museum? And when are you going to AMG?

Thank you good sir.

Now that I have seen BMW, I have the rest of the Major German auto manufactures on my bucket list to see. Keep your eye out for those threads.

A good friend of mine works in the Mercedes truck plant. Should be able to get tickets and what not into there.

Wow, you sure told me quick. LOL

You didn't give me a chance to continue updating. lol

So very cool. Thanks for sharing Mike. I need to go back to Munich. It's been way to long...

No problem Ian. Glad you enjoyed.

Hopefully we could meet up if you make it back. So far I have another two years left here. Possibly more.
 
Awesome pics of the BMW facility Mike! Wish I can make it there one day...
 
Now THAT'S the motherload for me, Mike. Thanks a bunch for sharing that one. I have been enjoying the heck out of your road trip(s) and applaud you for getting the most out of your deployment over there.

And your daughter's adorable! I was waiting for you to put her in that cute little Isetta!

No problem good sir. I hope you enjoyed my little tour of pictures.

Trying to get a few things in while I am here. My next little trip should hopefully be to the Frankfurt IAA Auto Show.

I would have put her in there if I could. But it was roped off.

The 507.... Hellllooooooo MAMA! :D

Yes sir! What a beautiful ride. First time I saw one in the flesh.

I couldn't have said it better Marc.

GREAT REPLY!!!!!




Yes sir! What a beautiful ride. First time I saw one in the flesh.

You and me both brother. I mean all I've seen for the last 35+ years have been in an auction.

I knew a guy back when we first got married (probably around 78~79 or so) that had one but I was too young to appreciate it back then. (We did the deed in 77 BTW) :colleges:




Sent via tiny tablet at ac1900 blazing super speed.
 
I have a boat load of these same pics from my trip back in March. Great stuff.

If you haven't been, check out the zugspitze... It was pretty incredible.
