What would a visit to Munich be without stopping by BMW? The tower is very visible from various locations. The BMW Welt and the BMW Museum are connected by a bridge, allowing you to quickly see both the new and the old.
These are called the "4 Cylinders." I took the picture with my iPhone and Apple Watch. In my opinion, one of the coolest features - the iPhone's image is transmitted to the Apple Watch, allowing you to align perfectly.

The BMW grounds are directly next to the Olympic Park. So, if you're looking for a relaxing walk or jog, this is the right place. I took a photo of the Olympic Park map. (While passing by, a front shot would have been better :D) From the park, you can see the 4 Cylinders from almost every angle - BMW is omnipresent. Additionally, new models like the i4 are displayed in glass cases around the area.

The European Championship and the associated "Public Viewing" (which means something entirely different in English than we use it in Germany) are a great combination with the Olympic Park. However, I didn't go into the fan zone. It rained heavily that day and only stopped around 8 PM - so I used the time differently. There are a few places to eat in the park itself. I suspect they didn't open because of the rain.
Note the prices. €4.25 for 0.5 liters of WATER. But at least a Coke or a Sprite costs only €4.75 for 0.5 liters. What a bargain. I'm curious about the beer prices at Oktoberfest. Back then, the price of a beer stein was a good indicator of inflation. But now, even the Big Mac Index isn't useful as an indicator - oh well.
All in all, it was a super interesting trip. Next time, I'll try to see much more of the Olympic Park - hopefully with good weather!

Was wäre ein Besuch in München ohne einmal bei BMW vorbeizuschauen. Der Turm ist übrigens sehr deutlich von verschiedenen Standorten zu sehen. Die BMW Welt und das BMW Museum sind beide mit einer Brücke verbunden, so dass man sich recht schnell Neu und Alt anschauen kann.

Das BMW-Gelände liegt übrigens direkt am Olympia Park. Wer also eine entspannte Spazier oder Joggingrunde haben möchte, der ist hier genau richtig. Ich habe mal die Karte des Olympia Park abfotografiert. (Im Vorbeigehen, Frontaufnahme wäre sicherlich besser gewesen :D)
Aus dem Park heraus, kann man die 4 Zylinder übrigens gefühlt aus jeder Perspektive sehen - man könnte sagen BMW ist allgegenwertig. Zudem sind um den Standort herum neue Modelle wie der i4 in Glaskästen ausgestellt.

Die Europameisterschaft und das damit verbundene "Public Viewing" (im englischen hat das eine ganz andere Bedeutung, als wir es in Deutschland nutzen) - ist natürlich eine super Kombination mit dem Olympia Park. Selbst bin ich allerdings nicht in die Fan-Zone gegangen. Es hatte extrem geregnet an dem Tag und erst gegen 20 Uhr hatte es aufgehört - die Zeit habe ich dann anders genutzt.
Im Park selber gibt es dann, das ein oder andere Lokal. Ich vermute durch den Regen hat man es dann einfach nicht aufgemacht.
Man beachte die Preise. 4.25€ für 0.5 Liter WASSER. Aber immerhin kostet eine Cola oder eine Sprite nur 4.75€ pro 0.5 Liter. Was ein Schnäppchen. Da bin ich ja direkt mal auf den Bierpreis des Oktoberfests gespannt. Damals war das Bier-Maß noch ein guter Indikator für die Inflation. Aber nachdem jetzt sogar der Big Mac Index nicht mehr als Indikator tauglich ist - nun ja.
Alles in allem war es ein super interessanter Trip. Beim nächsten Mal versuche ich wesentlich mehr vom Olympia Park zusehen - dann hoffentlich mit gutem Wetter!

So cool I didn't visit this place when I went in Munich such a shame.
After a Trip is before a trip :D There is always a second chance :)
Ich war schon einmal in München aber den BMW Tower hab ich leider nicht gesehen.
!BBH !ALIVE
Das würde ich nachholen :P
Ja mal sehen. Das letzte mal musste ich auf dem Oktoberfest arbeiten und war kurz davor auf der Zugspitze. Da will ich zumindest nochmal hoch. Dazu noch ein paar Tage in Bayern / München wären perfekt.
That is pretty cool! I've never been to Munich. Those prices are out of control though... ouch. Going to BMW is a must, you got some nice pictures. Too bad they don't give you a free BMW just for visiting!
!LOL
It's definitly a beautfiul city, but expensive as f***. I never visited it before on my own. But in the last couple of month I had to make some businesstrips to munich. Finally had the time to walk around a bit.
Would be nice to get one for sure. I like the older versions of BMW more - got one myself from the late 2000s :)
