Welt tour -- behind the scenes

I'm in Munich; my delivery at the Welt is tomorrow (Monday, August 1). I ended up going to the Welt and registering yesterday (Saturday, July 30). The person registering me said that since it was a Saturday, I had the opportunity for a tour of the Welt at 2:00 PM, which I decided to take. In addition to walking around the public areas, they also took us down a level into a restricted area, showed us a couple of videos, including one on what happens with our cars at the Welt prior to delivery. They also showed us the area where the cars (a couple of hundred at a time) are stored prior to delivery. Very cool.

Has anyone else gotten this tour? Is it really only offered on Saturdays? Does everyone get the "behind-the-scenes" stuff, or is that just for new owners? Regardless, it's a fun enhancement to the experience.

The only disappointment so far is that the kinetic sculpture at the BMW Museum (the one with the stainless steel balls hanging on individual threads) was damaged by water, so it's closed. There's pictures of it at the beginning of the F10 brochure, and I really was looking forward to seeing that.
