BMW Motor Museum, Munich, 2012.

[Beemer]

In January 2012 John and I took our annual pilgrimage to Salzburg for the invasion of Russian aircraft bringing in skiing enthusiasts. One day looked particularly quiet so we decided to take a trip by train to Munich for sight seeing and the BMW Museum. The museum, BMW Welt (BMW World) is brilliant whether you are a owner or a fan.

Now for the cars. It is hard to believe that the first BMW, the Dixi was a derivative of the Austin 7. They have come a long way since.

After visiting the Museum we decided to venture up the Olympic Tower.

The Olympic Tower in the Olympic Park, Munich has an overall height of 291 m and at a height of 190 m
there is an observation platform as well as a small rock and roll museum housing various memorabilia.
