We are planning a trip to the Carolinas next year and would love to visit the BMW Spartanburg factory.
Has anyone been there and how far in advance did you have to book?

Many thanks for that link Geoff, fantastic pictures from the Zed cruise.
The factory is closed at the moment for a refit to accommodate a new model to be built there, and is supposed to be opening summer 2014, although the museum is still open. We also want to drive round their test track in a BMW.
Looking at comments on TripAdvisor the factory tour is really special, but you have to book in advance because it's so popular. As we are going in September we are hopeful the tours would have re-started by then.
I will continue to monitor the website for any more info. as we would want to book as soon as possible.
