I had to go to Munich today and had a few hours to kill between two meetings (and my car was mostly clean) so I took a few pics in and around the BMW Welt and BMW M HQ.

Personally I found it a bit disappointing inside BMW Welt. It was just like a bigger than average BMW dealership with the odd exhibit or two and a few places to eat.
Took a couple of pics outside BMW M HQ just around the corner.
Of all the tracks to be listening to in Munich

Sad to say that Mercedes' new museum is more impressive inside than BMW Welt.
