BMW Museum Munich
If one says Munich, one says Beer, Bretzels, Oktoberfest and of course BMW. BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke or Bavarian Motor Works for the English version), the icon of Munich’s powerful industry.

Every car manufacturer that has a history and a legacy needs to have a museum and BMW does not make an exception to this rule. A few days ago I visited the museum and now I want to share with you some impressions. I would recommend anyone who travels to Munich to take some hours and learn a little about this symbol.
The museum lies next to the BMW headquarters, the 4-cylinder building in Munich, very close to the Olympia Park, where the Olympic Summer Games took place in 1972. The museum opened its gates in 1973.
The for the 70' futuristic-looking building is called by the locals Salatschüssel or Weißwurstkessel meaning salad bowl or weißwurst kettle, which are also references to local food. I think the description fits the shape. I would have called it a concrete UFO but the local reference is much better.
The concept of going up in a spiral is a reverse concept of the concept used in the Solomon-R.-Guggenheim-Museums in New York, where one goes down in a spiral. The spiral is to be seen in the round building. A newer wing of the museum has been opened in 2008, which does not follow the spiral concept. The total exhibition surface is spread over 25000 m² or 270000 ft² for the imperial unit’s user.
BMW has a 101 years history. The company started with the production of motors for planes. They've sold over 2000 engines. Also had a world record for the highest altitude reached in flight in 1919 with a height of 9760 m (32000 ft). The end of World War I endangered the company as Germany was not allowed to produce plane motors for 5 years. BMW did not follow through as motors have been delivered also in 1920.
In 1923 BMW added a new product, the motorcycle, with the first model the R32 which took only 5 weeks to design and the concept is the one used today in most motorcycles. It is amazing to be able to see the turning points that defined history so close.
You might wonder when the start manufacturing cars? Not that soon. BMW added motors for motor boats as a new product first.
In 1928 history as we know it took its turn. BMW acquired the car manufacturer Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach and started their automotive production.
It took them less than 10 years to enter the motorsport. In 1937 the model 328 appeared which had groundbreaking technologies incorporated. The car won the legendary race Mille Miglia in 1940 and was the start of BMW motorsport history. The car is a marvellous piece of engineering.
I was so curious about what lies under the hood and asked BMW Museum employee to lift it. The 2.0 l straight-6 OHC engine is looking marvellous. Everything was made to fit together. There is a leather insulation for the hood to keep out noise and vibration. Inside there is also a leather toolbox which is easy to access. You might see a hammer with the head out of copper which is used to change the wheels.
In this picture, there is the history of the 3 series. From the first model, the first convertible one to the series before the actual one.
These cars represent, maybe the most powerful letter in the world M. If you say M, you say power and BMW at the same time.
And here comes the power from the previous cars. In this room, one can choose to hear the sound of every engine and also see the concept behind.
Besides the usual exhibition, there is always also a short one on a specific theme. I was surprised to see the Kings' BMW 507. Elvis bought it when he was doing his military service in Bavaria. By the way, Germany is the only country where Elvis had a concert outside the USA.
The car was thought to be lost, but it was found in a very bad condition. BMW managed to restore it to its initial glance.
The whole process and history are covered in this Elvis and Rock'n'Roll themed part of the museum.
Elvis was not the only artist who had contact with BMW. Andy Warhol designed the print for this 1979 M Art Concept car.
The Bond Z8 is also present. It is the actual car that was used in the movie The World Is Not Enough.
I hope that I opened you the taste to come to Munich and visit this museum. I would be glad to answer any question in the comments.

Let' s roll on
what a real work. very nice post. rare posts. good information also. 101
years? started with plane motors? did motorcycle manufacturing? very
informative. you did nice job in explaining step by step stages with an illestration. this tells me that what we know is what we see now. but when it started it was different.
The structures couldn't be more modern in my opinion. They must've had incredible architects.
This is such a nice resource. Great work. So BMW has been around for 101 years, that's remarkable. I absolutely love BMWs and hope to own one someday... Thanks

wow nice car..
hi @jackorobin. i also like these photos of car. MW Museum Munich is great museum.
I love BMWs and respect the history as well as engineering. But this did make me laugh - a lot.
It's uncommon to see bmw owners to actually use the turn signals :D
I have wanted to visit this place for a very long time. Thanks for sharing!
BMW, como mantienen intacto esos vehículos, los años que van pasando nos hace valorar más las cosas. Bellas reliquias que se mantendrán en el tiempo para que las futuras generaciones puedan admirar lo que nos va dejando los años.
BMW, as they keep those vehicles intact, the years that are happening make us value things more. Beautiful relics that will remain in time so that future generations can admire what the years are leaving us.
Well I am a cars lover. Another Fast & Furious fan you can say. BMW has a great history! Something which caught my real attention was BMW E46 M3 GTR. The first M3 to use a V8 engine and it's also the rarest M3 ever produced.
Cheers to BMW!!!
The car in the picture isn't a GTR;), but otherwise I agree!
I don't know BMW took so long to manufacture cars.
The R32 looked soo good.
So does Elvis BMW.
Must have been a paradise for to walk around the entire museum and witness history again?😊
Yes it was, it was a very good experience.
BMW means Bayrischer Mist Wagen ( shity bayrish car) xD
Das musste kommen :)))
Jup
I was there! this is an outstanding experience. I recommend to go there if you are in Munich.
The architectural design of BMW building is amazing, with it's sphrerical museum and cylindrical tall buildings. And you did a great job in presenting the vintage cars. It's like you brought us to Munich with you post.
Thank you for sharing this @adsactly ! Resteemed.
Wow, seeing all those BMW engines lined up just confirms my suspicion that BMW always puts in some serious thought into the aesthetics of their engines!
love it man
BMW drivers who can't spell "their"

Always envy ppl outside SEA, the cheapest model of BMW is still affordable, in SEA it would be not affordable at all because of government duty imports, which is overwhelming at rate of more than 50%.. :(

Your father stole the money from people in Italy and that's the reason you hadn't luck the car. ;) and also the money. ;) You lost everything because you were not honest ;) and you've lost them one at a time. That's the reason your dad had health problems . ;) The God saw you were not right ;) and finally you lost all ;)

lol check these guys out @alexvan :D
I see them... my silence is also an answer..
Please do something She stalking me everywhwre And She donot leave me To live My life in pace ...
Everything I said above is 100% true. He is an awfull man, a rude person who want to manipulate all the people on streemit to donate him money because in some situation he has no brain ;) and he doesn't think right ;). He wants to choose affirmation in his work. He saw only money in front of his eyes.
If it's could possible, he would want to rain with money over his house. He only sees his interest on this site and he doesn't care about other people who help him ;)
So pay attention with this man and open your eyes , please ;)
Can u do something plase ? This girl îs very stupid She donot Understand 1 thing :) Im married And Im Good with My wife .everything with her was When i was 15 She îs very stupid
si nu aveam 15 idiotule :)) cum vine matematica asta la tine?
aveai fucking 18 si eu 17.. ce aburesti lumea cu 15:))
da pe dracu te-ai insurat :)) tu esti handicapat :)) mai visezi mult :)) jeg de om :))
in sant sa ajungi idiotule ;)
sa te bata Dumnezeu de toti peretii pentru toate lucrurile care mi le-ai jurat si pentru promosiuni de care nu te-ai tinut de cuvant !!!!! da pacatele tale sa fie si mai sustii ca esti crestin si etc? esti jalnic,nu stiu cum te mai rabda Doamne Doamne pe pamant!!
o sa platesti pentru tot!!!!!!!!!
O persoană sănătoasă nu dorește să se căsătorească. Trebuie să încetezi să vrei asta, să elimini această idee din cap. Atunci lucrurile vor veni de la sine.
tu ti-ai impus asta de la bun inceput ;) deci nu esti sanatos ;)hihihi :))
He lie, everything was 3 years ago ;) and he is a garbage man who like to take advantage everyone ;)
si cica iti dau banii inapoi :)) when?:))
that's the reason you lose everything because you're rude ;)
fuck you :))idiot :)) you'll never have luck because you're not honest ;)
vezi ce inseamna sa profiti de oameni si sa-i folosesti de plictiseala ;) asa patesc nemernicii ca tine care isi bat joc si se joaca cu sentimentele altora ;) pierd tot;)
sa nu crezi ca faci rau si iti va merge bine, toate astea te ajung din urma ;)
de asta s-a imbolnavit si bunica ta si ai pierdut-o ;)
Doamne Doamne nu doarme si nu bate cu bota ;) si are grija sa iti dea ce meriti numai dupa cat de corect ai fost;) adevarul e ca in cazul tau iti lasa doar impresia ca ai reusit si la jumatate iti spulbera tot, de la bani, lucruri la fericire ;)
karma babe ;)
you deserve what you deserved :)
Lumea te injura si te pupa cu aceeasi gura, diferenta o face interesul ;)
Excelent post...i own a BMW car and i am very happy to se such a post. Good job !! :D
Nice building of BMW. Beautiful old car models, amazing inventions. I love BMW company.
I like those old BMWs
I don't know where you live but it looks lovely! I love "wild" spaces
Been there, really nice museum.
When Steem reaches $20.000 I'll go buy one of these... just you wait :p
I freaking love the first M1. The design is perfect. BMW has come a long way since their aviation days. In comparison the brand now doesn't have nearly the uniqeness they had 40 years ago.
