Olympic stadium/Tollwood Park
& BMW Museum Tour (Olympuazentrum train station)
<Approximately 20mins away from
door to door>
Olympic Stadium
Soak
in the architectural curves of twisted metal & glass. Apart from that, hope for events that maybe on going at the stadium or around the area.
We were fortunate, that on our day of arrival the stadium was playing host to the Munich X games and soak in the carnival like atmosphere. Tickets however were going €30-€60 depending on the sporting event. There is little to no chance of getting a free viewing.

This
space may play host to various festivals and events which are held periodically
in Munich. A quick check with the concierge can shed better light to the latest
happenings.
For
the day's happenings, the place was filled with all forms of delectable treats,
both sweet and savory as well as an array of miscellaneous items.
Food
options ranged from large sized brochettes, hot curry-wurst, hot waffles,
Singapore Crepes(cinnamon, butter and sugar)?, smoked fish, fresh pizzas and a
wide selection to suit all pallets . 
One could also spend the time looking through the many thingamajigs, novelty items like beer candles, special tea blends, Moroccan products and many many more. An enjoyable venue to while the day away.

BMW Museum
(aprox 650m from Olympuazentrum train station)
The
BMW museum is located across the road from the BMW showroom.
A
definite must go for beamer lovers, the young and old and all motor heads.
All plaques have English explanations and one get to see the old classics, its
evolutionary design changes and various achievements of BMW.
Exhibits
are uniquely represented and are very well done I must add. Each room a
masterpiece in itself and shows off the cars and models brilliantly.
Although
it is primarily a BMW showroom, the Rolls exhibits on the upper two levels took
the cake for me. With its timeless designs and almost near tank-like build were
impressive. it's just something about the Spirit Of Ecstasy, crowning the
iconic grills of the Rolls that has last through the times.
