Marriage at the BMW plant.

Munich plant tour guide Renate Mertl
is a regular witness to the ceremony.

It isn’t only people who marry - cars like to tie the knot as well. "When the drivetrain and body are brought together in car construction, we call that a marriage", explains Renate Mertl to her group of visitors. The expert plant tour guide knows everything about heavy-duty steel presses, spot-welding robots and car paint. She has already taken 75,000 visitors through the Munich parent plant and has an answer to even the most offbeat of questions.
