Munich, Germany
Saturday September 10th, 2016


This weekend BMW AG celebrated their 100th birthday. There were special events held at the BMW Welt. BMW car clubs from all around the world (including the USA) brought their classic cars to be shown at the Olympia Park. There must have been thousands of BMW's shown there. The BMW Welt was so packed with people that the staff was limited how may people could enter the Welt. I had never seen that before - even on their "special event" days. BMW Classic had an open house for the special few. It was really a great event. While not all of the Classic collection was shown... a lot of the "special cars" were on hand to be shown to the public. Here are my pics bellow.

A special thanks to fellow forum member Jan (from Sweden) for inviting me to tag along with him on this special day. Also... my sincere thanks to Frau Mol from BMW Classic for answering all of our many questions.


Now onto my pictures...

An overdose of BMW. The yellow 507 works in that color.

The McLaren F1 holds a prominent place in automotive history and it was just sitting quietly, amazing.

That BMW City car from the 90's on the wall shows their long time concerns for the environment.

And that E31 850CSi is simply gorgeous. Comfort and power in a beautiful package.

Dackleone, you continue to amaze us with your content and interesting subject matter.

It's like a little treasure when you post something that we cannot wait to read and look at the pictures you experienced that makes us all very jealous. Thank you for all you do.

Dackel, you are a lucky one! What an invite. Too many cool cars to single anything out! The Rolls Royce license plates... RR - cool. Some cool colored cars too, the 2 tone 40's or 50's cars are nice. The plum purple Z1!

Great range, looks like some were at Pebble Beach too.

I was just reading about this in the current issue of the Roundel - so cool. Thanks as always for taking us along! I feel I have visited multiple German car museums because of your posts.

I wonder if the newer (> 1990s) models are driven before they become part of this wonderful collection, or if BMW just saves a few new ones for this purpose...

Thanks again for posting!

ALL these cars were running examples. BMW Classic runs these cars often. Whether its for a classic car race like Mile Miglia or for Pebble Beach, etc. You can even rent some cars thru BMW Classic too! BMW Classic has over 650 cars in the Classic collection. But the main storage area is a secret location in Garching. BMW keeps every race winning car it has. In the old Classic location they had an entire floor devoted to race cars! That building was demolished and that's why BMW moved into this location - which they use to own up until the 60's when they got into a financial bind and sold it to Knorr Bremsen(Brakes).


Here is the old BMW Classic location... on the 2nd page you can see my photos of when BMW tore it down to make room for the new FIZ(R&D) test center.

Thank You very much.


This was the scene across the street from the Welt. It seemed like every Z1, Z8 and Z3 that BMW produced were there! lol

I had seen pics of that yellow 507 before... and I thought the color was too bold. But in person it really worked well. Dackel approved!

Yes, I also know that some of these cars were at Pebble Beach. Like the Alexander Calder BMW 3.0 CSL(one of my favs) was there. In fact I asked Frau Mol about the white 507 inside the newer workshop... IF that was Elvis's car back from the USA. But she said it was not. (I suspect BMW delivered Elvis's car back to its new owner - once stateside. There were so many amazing cars here.

Thanks for the pics, David. Some great machinery there, and I hope they've got an E82 stored somewhere.

Thank you, Dackel, for another amazing post of pix and story. Many of us will never get to see such groupings of BMWs and we really appreciate what you do to bring this to us.

Here is a look at BMW Classic... jst after they moved into this new location. The shop looks rather spartan from my visit last weekend.

The restoration of the building is equally nice, shame there's no mention of the significance of the new location to BMW's history.

The ensemble of buildings on this site includes part of BMW’s first factory and the site where the first BMW engines were built. It means that not only are some of the former production halls returning to the BMW Group, but also the heritage-protected gate buildings of the time.

While there was no plague on site, BMW Classic did see fit to include a huge B&W photo/canvas of the former BMW airplane factory - that was on these grounds. I also believe V2 rocket engine's were also built here(via forced labor). BMW "does have" a small display in the BMW Museum about this time frame in BMW history.
