Guten Tag! Today we went to the BMW plant. BMW stands for Bavarian Motor Works. We went on the premium tour, which was three hours, and three kilometers long. During the tour, we learned about the history of BMW along with many interesting facts about the company. The three-hour tour included the museum, BMW World, and the plant. We learned a lot about how BMW is committed to sustainability. We had the opportunity of witnessing a couple of the steps that take place in the production of their vehicles and we learned that BMW goes as far as recycling sprayed paint that came off of cars. One of the unique features that BMW World provides for its customers is the opportunity of actually picking up their cars at the company as soon as they are ready. The employees have a really neat way of making this experience a memorable one for their customers. They have spotlights on the car as it slowly turns in a circle; they do this when the customer walks down the staircase to see their car for the first time. After BMW we also went to the Olympic park, and went up the Olympic tower, which is over180 floors high. Finally, the group split up and some people went souvenir shopping while the rest of the group stayed and explored the Olympic Park. Some people even swam in the Olympic pool! Overall, it was a great day, and as usual we learned a lot.
