BMW Headquarter, Munich, Bavaria, Germany

BMW Headquarter in Munich - four cylinders tower for largest luxury car manufacturer

BMW Headquarter is a Munich landmark, which has been serving as world headquarters for the automaker for over 30 years. It was declared a protected historic building in 1999. Extensive refurbishments commenced in 2004 and were completed in 2006. The Tower was built between 1968 and 1972 and was ready just in time for 1972 Summer Olympics of Munich. Was innaugurated in 1973 officialy. The building is 101m located near the Olympiapark and is often cited as one of the most notable examples of architecture in Munich. This is probably one of the most famous European building of the 70’s, with pretty high-tech architecture. Actually the 4 cylinders are suspended in the air and do not touch the ground. The building was designed by architect Karl Schwanzer.

Here are some photos I took in 2008 of the BMW Headquarter and the museum.

BMW Welt, Munich - an outstanding showroom for BMW cars

BMW Welt is definitely a fantastic showroom with great modern architecture, and BMW design on every single details. Located in Olympiapark in Munich, it’s also close to the BMW museum and BMW headquarter, which you can see in many of the photos as background.

From the car to the roof of the building, from the sofa to the enginex exposed. The material used to build this place is top notch and intemporel, giving a very calm and peaceful feeling to the place. Shooting here with a wide angle is great exercise for experiencing some nice interior architecture shots. You can play with the curves, the straight lines, the material, the colors and the BMW cars. At the same time, it’s also a fantastic spot for making nice poerful portraits, either from the first floor or directly with the cars.

Here are 90 photos of the BMW Welt, make sure to visit it if you pass by Munich. Here are also some older photos I took of the BMW Welt in 2008.

The BMW Welt is just next to the BMW Museum, which was for free the day we visited it! Thank you BMW!

BMW Welt Exterior

The BMW welt is located just next to the Olympiapark, and in front of the BMW factory and headquarter. If you’re a BMW amateur, this is really a nice place to go at least once. The exterior is also very futurist but much more sharp than the interior.

BMW Welt Interior

I’ve posted yesterday some wallpapers of the BMW Welt in Munich, and I’d like to continue today with some more interior photo of this great architectural piece of art. As you can see, the interior is vast, very luminous and has some creative and modern curvy walls, guiding the visitor through the BMW car exhibition and the technology showcase.
