The 240,000-sq meter (59-acre) facility includes test tracks, an off-road course, exhibits and a German restaurant. BMW estimates the center, which will be promoted as a family attraction, will attract 200,000 visitors per year.
Admission is free, but BMW will charge visitors who want to take a test drive. The Nikkei notes that the company already operates similar facilities in Germany and the U.S.
