Forget about Disneyland if you are a true gearhead, instead you should be heading to a new automotive Mecca.

Within 100 days from the opening ceremony in October, the all-new BMW Welt (world in German) has been visited by more than half a million guests. According to BMW, the architecturally trendy building received 80,000 visitors on the opening weekend, while BMW Welt was also the origination point for 25,000 visitors taking advantage of the new manufacturing tour of the BMW Plant next door, where some 900 units of the 3 Series come off the assembly lines every day.
