We spent most of the day at the BMW Welt today. We showed up about 9am and signed in and received our ID cards. Then off to breakfast in the Premium Lounge! It was quite a nice spread of food.
We walked over to the Museum when it opened at 10am. Walking through, we saw all the things we wanted to see by about 11am. As guests of BMW, we didn't have to wait in any lines.
Afterwards, we hung out in the Premium Lounge for a bit, even meeting a fellow Bimmerfester. Then we took the 11:45 factory tour in English. The tour was about two hours, and very interesting--but no photos allowed.
By the time the tour was over, our paperwork had arrived at the Welt, and we were able to get all the car papers signed and out of the way today. We also did some shopping at the gift shop, got our free keychain engraved (with the Zoll plate number), and had lunch.
We had a blast at the Welt, and were glad to spend a good part of the day here, rather than be rushed on our delivery day.
We then took the U-Bahn to the English Garden and took in some of the sights, including the famous river surfers. We wound up the day with dinner in an excellent Irish pub just behind our hotel.
What a day! Awesome.
