 "When Sachin Tendulkar built a BMW")
After bidding adieu to cricket, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, it seems, is exploring new ways to keep himself busy.
Recently, Tendulkar helped by the engineers at German-headquartered BMW's Chennai plant tried his hands in assembling a luxury car.
"I am an avid BMW enthusiast and have been driving BMW cars since a very long time. But the experience of making a BMW with my own hands was unique and unforgettable," said the legendary cricketer who is visiting the plant.
Tendulkar marked the occasion by assembling a BMW 5 series using parts from Indian auto component suppliers.
The luxury car maker said it participated in the Make in India initiative with upto 50% local content in car assembled at the Chennai plant, which can locally produce upto eight models in two assembly lines.
