Thanks for the link. Although I'm buying my 535 here in Germany I can't pick it up from the factory. It did have info on having a guided tour.

You are right, but also there are some other local assembly plants, like here in Egypt. BMW produces the 320i, 523i, 525i, 530i, and 740i locally here in Cairo, Egypt.
I would guess there is also China.

That's referred to as kitting. Subassemblies are shipped to a remote plant and assembled locally to avoid domestic content laws.

This is a place on earth everyone should experience for themselves at least once. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen other than the birth of my 2 sons. At one end of the factory, raw materials are brought in, at the other end, out rolls the cars. All that goes on in between is truly impressive. If you like the Discovery channel type shows (how it's made, ultimate factories, etc...), you've got to see this in person. Also, the drive from Munich to Dingolfing on the autobahn is lots of fun....
