BMW World, Munich (Oct 4)

Here we are, outside of the BMW World building. I figured that it's designed to look like the cylinders in the a car engine. Very creative i have to say. Anyhow, that's only the admin building. I will actually go in to the exhibition building, which is the one next to it (lower right). In case you didn't know, the sky-view look downward would show you a giant BMW logo on the ceiling of this building.

Looks like crazy graffiti on a expensive car, doesn't it? You can get this car for only 79.99 Euros + tax. It's only a toy model that is size of your palm. I thought it looks good, so i took a picture to show you (plus the fact that i can't afford to buy it). Don't worry, I'll show you some real cars next.

What do you know! BMW headquarter is in Munich, Germany. Benz headquarter is just another city nearby. This means i get to see many many cars. Cars-Cars-Cars~~ BMW really try to make the visit fun. There were many interactive exhibitions including new technologies like hydrogen combustion, very ancient and never-released conceptual BMW models, history of car making and production process. By the end of the day, it was a bit overwhelming. Let's just say a little too much car for me in one day.

Any Bonds fan here? I watched almost every Bonds movie up til the 80s. I guess i count at least half of one.

Very first BMW model ever produced. It's in 1933, right between the world wars. 

Can you believe this guy generate up to 930 HP?

Here's a exhaustive list of all BMV released models, ranking by year. A nice overall view of the company production.

Of course, Europe is known for tiny cars. Even though i am not so fond of the "smallness" in car design, i photoed this one for its delicate design. Compact, one-door. Trunk big enough to fit one person's baggage. Perfect road companion for any loners, or people who just need their personal space. Insurance should also be not a big problem. I am sure this car always costs more expensive to fix than to buy new. (Yes, i own a Beetle, i know). Anyway, it's a nice car to have in a exhibition hall.
