Bavarian Motor Works (BMW)

*Beautiful spiral architechture of the BMW Welt*
 

This is actually a revisit entry after about nine years back and some of the displays have been swapped out. The additional €3 to join the walking tour was well worth it. Prices have increased to €10/pax (almost double or more)  since almost a decade ago.

The guided one hour tour is highly recommended as the stories add to the visual representation and embodiment of the cars.

There are two sections. The free to view is the BMW Welt which often features the newest cars, and the paid entry BMW Museum located opposite.

(Note timings are not for the whole day. Just managed to catch the 12-1pm session which was the last of the day*)

*B/W Line mirroring the area of the art movement*

*People thought it was British Motor Works. As they couldn't use the Bavarian flag, the colors were swapped with Blue then White forming the iconic BMW logo.*

*The body weighed in at 35kg. It was all about reducing weight.*

*Beach seats to further reduce weight. But what was deemed essential was a cigarette lighter and ash tray. This was later installed with side indicator mirrors to have it road legal to bring it back to the msueum*

*Art Cars*

*An accidental creation out of necessity which later became a huge hit.*

*Grey is the preferred neutral color for concept vehicles and
that mock-up cycle is all clay.*

*Styling of Adam West's Batman Car.*

*If you ask in the Welt side you may get a free ride within the space*

*A joint project with Lamborghini*

*Taking retro cars an re-imagining them in today's modern contacts*

Still excellent and made more engaging with the tour. Highly recommended.

Motorworld Munchen

The IKEA of car shopping. There's super cars, classics, American muscle cars and so much more all located in one sheltered space. Free to enter to take a browse. Some of the cars are the paper value of a C.O.E in Singapore.

Eateries are also available on site for a short break.

How's it compare to BMW museum? Motorworld has a wider range of cars, but the added tour at BMW would add a little more story than just looking at a fancy cars. Depends on which brand you personal like but either way, its a great experience and worth to check out! Motorworld is a short 300m walk from Freimann train station.
