    Although it's not part of the Olympic Park, it overlooks it from across Lerchenauer Strasse and is an impressive piece of architecture in its own right. The four cylindrical office blocks represent the four cylinders of the cars that BMW make, and just beneath the office tower is BMW Welt, a cup shaped building that used to host the BMW museum. This building no longer hosts the museum, which is to be placed in the new BMW Welt building on the opposite side of the street.

    In the meantime there is a temporary museum underneath the Olympic Tower.

    If you are interested in cars (which I am not really) this building might be interesting for you. It's the BMW headquarters which are located right next to the BMW museum.

    Here you can see lots of old and new cars made by Munich based car manufacturer BMW.

    I find the architecture of the building by Karl Schwanzer more interesting - the building looks like a 4 cylinder.

    The headquarters of BMW were built like a 4-cylindre-engine. Just opposite of the Olympic park you will see the large fabrication-halls of BMW and also a museum of cars in another small building in front of the 4-cylindre-building.
    That museum is a Must for all fans of old automobiles.

    The museum is open daily :
    09.00a.m.-05.00p.m.

    BMW stands for "Bayerische Motoren Werke" - even although all diesel-engines for BMW are built in Steyr / Austria...

    The new BMW Museum is currently under construction (2005) and won't be ready until 2007. Thankfully there is a temporary display at a special building underneath the Olympic Tower, but unfortunately it isn't quite as big a display as the full museum. All the same you get to see the entire spectrum of BMW's grand automobile history, including it's police bikes, rally cars, futuristic prototypes and track racers. It costs 2 euros to enter, covers the space of a couple of buildings, and is definitely worth a visit if you are in the slightest bit interested in cars as there is so much else to see and do nearby.

    Opening hours are 9am-5pm every day.

    The BMW building was opened in 1973 and is one of most knowns buildings at Munich's skyline.The building has also an interesting museum where you can learn the history of BMW motors and technology.

    The museum will be closed till 2007 for some renovations.I didn't had the time to see the interior of that building ,this picture was taken from my bus so is not a very good one,you can see just a part of the building,sorry about that!!.

    Ever since 1966, the BMW-works exhibit home-designed technology, products and developments. The museum is situated in the silvery so-called ?Salatsch?ssel? (salad bowl) next to the Concern?s administrative building, whose four-leafed-clover design represents the four cylinders of a car engine.

    I have no particular interest in cars, but if you do, the cylindrical building of BMW, and its adjoining museum must be a mecca. When we passed by, they were expanding it, so this photo shows a bit of a building site, but you can still see heaven for the car lover.

    BMW Museum. Great place to hang around when you love cars (and I really do...). Starting its make history as an aircraft engine manufacturer, the BMW brand became well-known for its terrific cars. In the museum you get every aspect of BMW's history.

    BMW Museum, which was opened in 1973 is one of the highlights of a visit to Munich. Visitors to this museum gets an insight into the development of BMW cars from old vintage model to excellent wonder machine of modern world. Various types of motor bikes are also displayed here. BMW was formed in 1913 for manufacturing air craft engines. In 1917, the company started production of motorcycles and in 1928 started production of motor cars. Today BMW cars are branded as one of the best of its' kind in the world.
    The museum is very near to Olympic Park which is approachable by U Bahn-3 (Metro train) from Hopt Bahnof or Marienplatz.
