The day of my European Delivery I was offered a "Customer Tour" of BMW Welt in Munich, Germany. Having been to the Welt twice before, I wasn't expecting to see much. I was mistaken. I was taken through the ground floor level of the Welt where the building's design and purpose were thoroughly explained. We then ventured through a door, and behind the scenes of BMW Welt which gave me a whole new appreciation for what goes into the delivery process.
Our first stop was a small room to watch a short video detailing the processing of BMW Welt car deliveries from the drop off of cars from the plant, to their preparation and storage prior to their receipt by customers on the delivery floor. After being seriously impressed by the process, the projection screen retracted exposing a window with a view into the storage area as seen below.
Curtain up, hello BMWs!
This area is typically off limits to people, robotic machinery moves the cars into their storage bays until it is time for them to be moved again into the glass elevator up to the delivery floor. To reduce the fire hazard presented by the storage of over 200 fueled vehicles, BMW has lowered the oxygen content of the air to 13% in this area. At this lowered saturation, not even a lighter will ignite.
One of the robots used to transport cars in the storage area.
The cavernous unloading zone for cars from the factory.
BMW please bring these here!
No, seriously, bring them.
Alpine white just suits the X5 perfectly. I love how clean these look debadged.
I would rock an F31 335i Touring in a heartbeat and especially in Estoril Blue II.
...and back up to ground level to await delivery of my car.
