LeipzigWerk is pretty cool. Its BMW's most modern and advanced factory. Plus they are building like crazy right now to meet the production start of the new i3 and i8. BMW builds the X1, e82, e88, and F20 at Leipzig. The tour is about 2.5 hours long and you walk almost 3kms. It is worth while.

I have not been to Regensburg Werk, but it should also be pretty cool. They make the F30, F20, F21, F10(5er), F11 and e9x M3's there.

The Munich factory was kind of dissapointing to me, it was a very old factory and quite cramped and dark. For sure space is a issue there. While at their other factories they just expand outwards.

As for Kid stuff... I don't know IF you can take kids on a factory tour. I never saw any kinds when I went on my many tours. I would recommend visiting the BMW Welt on the last weekend of every month... they have a special "family tag"(day) in which they set up special events for kids. Kid bike races, mountain climbing, drawing on real cars! Lots of cool things. This weekend is the next one! Looks like they will have a special Halloween Event this weekend at the Welt! Always on the first and last weekend of the month... the Welt does something special for families.
