Well guys, I needed to bail for a bit so I went to Munich for about five days. A lot of good food and beer was involved (Hofbr?uhaus, Augustinerhaus, etc.). Here are a few pics from the Welt and the Museum across the street. It's a great way to spend an afternoon.

They were having an ice climbing exhibition outside:



Here are some happy new BMW owners taking delivery upstairs:



I really liked this e90 color combo:



Here's a shot of the BMW Individual room. The smell of fine wood and leather is so intense.
*Note the Eames lounge chairs (670) and ottomans (671):



One for my e60 bretheren. The only e60 in the place:



Panini and good beer at the restaurant:



On my way across the street to the Museum:



One of the many fine vintage BMWs on display:



The Welt at Sunset:



I hadn't been in a few years, and the Welt is only two years old. If you get the chance, it's well worth the time.

If I'd known I could have told you where the secret car park is for the test mules. It's only half a mile from the BMW welt and only 250yds from the Fiz. You can just drive into it during daytime work hours. It's so out of the way though that you wouldn't just come across it randomly.
