"BMW has invited over 800 guests and press representatives for today's grand opening of the new BMW Welt (World) just outside of the carmaker's headquarters in Munich. The ultra-modern steel and glass structure will be used to promote BMW's cars and is described as a "car delivery and experience center." Whenever somebody comes to pick up their new car, they'll be required to wait on a grand stage before it ascends on a rotating platform ready to be driven away.
The new facility stretches over 73,000 square meters and was designed by Viennese architects Coop Himmelb(l)au.
A key element of the design is a twisting glass tower that's supposed to represent BMW's early-20th-century origins as an aircraft-engine supplier
The doors for this latest BMW Welt will be opened to the public on the 21st of this month."
"Munich has another attraction besides the Octoberfest. BMW celebrates the opening of their BMW World (BMW Welt).
The dramatic architecture of the BMW World is carried by two twisted glass cones.
In the BMW World you can pick up your new Beamer in style. Your car arrives in a glass elevator and is put on a turning platform. After you get a 40 min. introduction to your new car you can drive it out of the BMW World into the real world.
The new BMW building also offers restaurants, shops, exhibitions and space for events. Apparently BMW paid about 200 million Euro (~$283 mio.) for this futuristic car cathedral.
The BMW World is open for the public from 9am to 8pm.
See also the BMW Welt site. Right now BMW is broadcasting the opening ceremony on their main site. "
