Trip Log: A BMW Fan in Munich

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Since I was so blessed to have had the opportunity to fly over to Munich to drive the M240i / M440i, a 13+hr flight from Singapore. Having not travelled since Covid shut down the world almost 2 years ago, I figured it made plenty of sense to arrange for my flight into Germany a few days earlier for some sightseeing on my own, along with a visit to the BMW Welt and museum. (I also popped by Stuttgart after that)

So, just in the spirit of sharing, here's my visit to the Welt and the museum. (And a quick look around Group Classic)

Hope you all like it. If you all don't mind, I'll share my Stuttgart adventures too once I find the time to pen them.

Thanks for sharing.

My dream vacation was to take delivery of a new BMW M2 from BMW Welt. Sadly this will never happen.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing!

I was lucky enough to to ED on my '19 M2 Comp a couple years ago. What an experience!

I'm not good with taking photos like you though. Even though, I have most of those shots on my phone, yours look superiorly better than mine. Haha

Dimitri · 11-25-2021, 12:05 PM

Awesome pics thanks for sharing. I loved my European delivery years ago it was great to visit the Welt and the museum. Too bad they aren't doing it for US customers anymore I would have def done another one.

Down the hall was a collection of Roadsters, starting with this 507. The first of the modern BMW roadsters. As you can see, iDrive has improved quite a lot since then.

That's hilarious
