Had a visit to the BMW factory and was wowed by it. Though they manufacture only 1 series (3 door) and 3 series car here. And boy, 1 series far exceeded my expectation..
Quite clean process...how to make car manufacturing easy...from metal sheeet to car body to paint shop (3 layers of paint), then 'marriage' of car body to engine, just in time, just in sequence. The clean process was also testified by a colleague who has earlier worked for Toyota, saying they were rather crowded. The final relish was having a seat on 1x red cnvertible....I felt like a baby given a new toy...
Leipzig city itself has own rich history..quite merchantile and now German government is trying to restore its old glory. It looked somewhat similar to Belgium rather than a German city..the university centre was impressive. Interesting stories, how a church survive 2nd world war bombings but not communists' dynamite..people's peaceful resistance..place of Bach's romance etc etc....
Now this is the place of Carbon Credit trade in Germany which smells of some 90 billion euro across europe.
