The "new one" isn't so much a museum, it's more like a statement.

The new museum is 6 times the size of the old museum. It is exactly that, however, a museum. They did a superb job, also, with the exhibits. I spent a few hours there recently, there were hundreds of cars and bikes on display and walking through it is a super experience, one to which one should devote a minimum of 2-3 hours.

I'm beginning to think I didn't see it all. I crossed over the road from the old museum and entered the main entrance where the helix-like building is. There was a merchandise shop, a formula 1 car, a couple of energy efficiency exhibits and about 12 cars. Apart from that I only saw an entrance that said "for people having cars delivered only" and the restaurants. I must have missed the signs to the part where there were hundreds of cars and bikes on display. No biggie, I wouldn't have had time to see more than I did. Next time

You'd think so wouldn't you. I think if you don't eat anything in any of the restaurants, or have a car being delivered, you'd be hard pressed to find more than 15 minutes of enthusiast entertainment. There's about 15 cars (same as an above average sized dealership) and a few tech exhibits. The museum across the road was far more interesting last time I went (about 6 years ago).
Sad to say that Mercedes' new museum is more impressive inside than BMW Welt.

Last time I went into the museum would have been in 2000 when I had my E39 535 and at that time the museum consisted of only the bowl building. I didn't know they'd expanded it by "several thousand quadratmeter" since then
Na ja, macht nichts. Now I've got a trip to the expanded museum to look forward to with it's Seven Exhibition Houses

The renovated museum opened up last June. Allow at least several hours. I went on a Monday (when it was closed) and got so many photos I haven't even had a chance to catalog and organize them yet.
