BMW Museum

BMW Headquarters and Museum

The next day we wake up and head out to tour the BMW Museum!  Since the museum opened in 1973, it has met with international acclaim for its innovative and fascinating presentation of the car maker's company, brand, and product history.

BMW Welt

Both of us were really excited about this one.  We got there a little early and toured around BMW Welt (world) first which was amazing.

We looked into doing a Plant Tour, but they only do those Monday-Friday (disappointment here)...  So we cross the street and enter the Museum and it was glorious. The architecture was just as amazing as all the cars.  They did a fantastic job creating this place.  11am sharp we meet up with our tour guide Stefan and off we go!

BMW started out making airplanes

Then tried their hand at motorcycles

BMW's first car

Next big hit...The delivery truck

This idea basically helped to save BMW back in the day...

If I'm not mistaken this was the 1st race car

My favorite! THE 1955 BUBBLE CAR!

 As you can kind of see in the picture above and below the museum is designed so that it looks like it consists of a bunch of different roads...

creating with LED lights

The entire museum is lit with these LED lights. Every single wall panel...

The 200 series! Americans loved it and sh*t started getting serious!

I could barely touch the ground..

So do I recommend visiting BMW? YES YES and YES.  To be honest I think I could go there every time I visit Munich.  I'll probably go back one day and do the plant tour for sure.

Until next time when I write about our Third Reich Tour... I bid you a zoom zoom...

Cheers,
