If you like BMW cars and bikes you will enjoy your visit here. Come check it out. Tons of old cars and bikes are on display here. It's well laid out and I specially loved the Mini museum. It's €10 to get in and will take you a good couple of hours to look around. If you like classic cars or love performance cars you will find something here. Read reviews from others for more info. I would definitely come back here again. read more

This museum houses nearly every iconic make and model the legendary car maker BMW has ever produced. The environment here was bathed in a white magical light, as if it was an all-around haze embracing the metal and the shiny hardware. Despite the crowd, it was somewhat peaceful. The way vehicles were presented seemed like modern art. The info for each display item was engaging. And of course, the floor looked like it was clean enough to eat lunch off of. Car aficionado or not, this is a great way to spend an afternoon in Munich: home of BMW, and I guess, true automotive heaven. read more

This museum was so well put together and very informative. I'm personally not a car enthusiast but I'm now a huge fan of BMW. We spent several hours roaming, looking, and reading. It's probably not super interesting for small kids, as most of the information will go above their head. If you like taking the time to read and learn, don't drag your kid along. If you want to just look at the cars, you'll be equally impressed. They currently have the car Elvis had while in Germany. Which had been restored. Much to see and learn. Parking can be a little pricey as you'll spend hours there. Consider taking a train of it's cheaper or parking and walking. They have food, and a gift shop which was major overpriced. read more

BMW Museum - Museums Near Me - Munich, BY

A modern, well laid out, aesthetically attractive trip through the history of BMW. For the enthusiast, you get a visual tour though the full history of the company. No part is neglected - from their start as an engine manufacturer and their evolution into motorcycles and then automobiles. The wall of classic bikes follows your walk down an aerial bridge. The room with every generation of the 3-er in line. Design studies. Prototypes. Racers. Early BMW jet engines. Modern BMW automotive space frames. The art piece made up of BMW model badges. The classic 2002tii sharing a showcase room with the only other Bimmer that could ever fight it for culturally iconic status - the Isetta. It it easy, even for a casual car fan, to get completely lost looking at the exhibits here. At €9/person, admission isn't cheap - especially if your party is large - but its certainly worth the price. Obviously you won't be able to sit in any of the cars - that's what BMW Welt across the road is for. This is a museum, after all. However, the Museum is absolutely a must visit for a BMW enthusiast. Your friends and family who aren't BMW or even car enthusiasts will most definitely enjoy it as well. read more

It's ok. I don't like BMW, but this museum is at least better than Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. It has Motorcycle-wall, different exhibitions and very cool early models. The design itself of the building is nice and fresh. Probably it is the only place in Munich you should visit. read more

During our unplanned summer stopover in Munchen, we were totally bent on making this a great experience, and so we went all out. First we rented a high performance BMW and took for a spin around town, and when you drive one of those wonderful machines on the autobahn and through the black forrest, you can't help but to become a fan. Needless to say the BMW museum was a fantastic stop in our vacation, we spent a few hours here and simple enjoyed every single vehicle on display here. As a high performance vehicle enthusiast, this place was simply a must visit, and for anyone visiting the general area, by all means, make some time to stop by, warning, you may come back home with a burning desire for one of these wonderful feats of German engineering. read more

An absolute must for anyone, even if you're not a petrol head! From cars, pictures, motorcycles and so much more. If your in or around Munich go for it! read more

BMW Museum - Museums Near Me - Munich, BY

Really underwhelming, but I'm not the biggest museum-goer to begin with, and certainly not a car enthusiast. Our tour guide was also very dry, and just spewed out a bunch of facts as we walked around the exhibit. It really felt like he was just reading off what was in the description at each stop along the tour, rather than adding any character or tidbits into it. It was cool seeing all the classic BMW cars and hearing about its beginnings, but I quickly lost focus and interest. The earpieces and audio system to hear the guide were nice so that even if you drifted away, you could still hear what was explained...even if I did just stop paying attention. read more

If you like beemers, you're in for a treat. The museum is relatively cheap to get into, and has many of their classics from years past. I'd say I enjoyed the Porsche museum more, but this one was a nice stroll down memory lane for me (I grew up in Germany). If you want to see the factory production, make sure you book in advance! read more

BMW Museum - The M1's - Museums Near Me - Munich, BY

My friend and I did a visit during the time of the mini special exhibit. I particularly enjoyed seeing all the old classic cars. I was surprised I enjoyed the mini exhibit. Museum has a cool architecture and is easy to navigate. People were helpful and friendly. Easy to check your coat yourself in the lockers downstairs and, although it costs a euro, you get it back when you retrieve your coat/items. It is a really cool museum and I highly recommend a visit! There is also a good cafe where we had coffee afterward. There is a gift shop with an abundant selection of interesting items. read more

Awesome museum that shows the history of the company, its models throughout history, and its core value. It is definitely worth coming to this place to see what a truly design company is made of and how it was made. read more

We took one of those tour buses to get here so for us it was very easy to get to. The overall layout of the entire museum flowed fairly well so navigating throughout was not an issue. Parts of it almost felt like a car dealer showroom. However further inside, we did get more of a museum feel and were able to enjoy seeing all the vintage BMW models. According to my husband, you don't come all the way to Bavaria without visiting the BMW factory. I will agree that this is a must for Bimmer enthusiast. read more

- Costs us 20E to enter (10/pp), yes they take credit card - Cannot bring backpacks into showroom, so must pay using 1E coin (refundable) - Has a large showroom of older BMW cars - Shows BMW history from past to present - Perfect for car lovers! Only question: where is the BMW Gina prototype? I wanted to see it! read more

The museum is amazing. The history is a sight to see. I definitely saw some classic cars and one crazy concept car from 2009. They offer guided tours as well as headphone rentals so you can give yourself a tour. You can also download an app. There is a cafe and store for shopping. You have to check out the huge Elvis vinyl replica. The shape of the building is breath taking and very cool! read more

BMW Welt 'world' in Munich is pretty cool. Even the outside makes this place interesting and exciting. A good stop if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come. I went into the 'Welt' part, not the museum. Unlike car exhibitions in the US, BMW has an almost quiet art-gallery feel. There are several cafes around the complex that serve sandwiches and snacks and it looks like they could close as a private venue and put tables around and make it pretty swanky with all the luxury BMWs around. What's really fun is that many of the floor models are open to sit in and make you feel like a rock star! Or in Germany, like a fussball star! There is also a good selection of Mini-Coopers and a few Rolls Royce to take a gander. They also have some of the original (or near original) models of their cars too which is pretty entertaining compared to what they look like now. Also, they have a few of their new concepts on display. There seems to be a track (indoors and upstairs) that apparently you can drive the cars around, but I'm guessing that's likely for people who are seriously considering buying them? It's special access to that section and I wasn't fortunate enough to see anyone do any driving, but it feels so futuristic in a country I came to more or less for the old historical side. Fun place to spend a couple of hours for sure! read more

A must for any gear-head, BMW enthusiast, auto-lover while in Munich. Very cool museum that has nearly everything (bikes, cars, marine and aircraft engines) BMW has manufactured in it's history. Came here on a Tuesday (day after vehicle delivery) morning, so think I lucked out with the weekend tourist crowds. Only downside during my visit (first week in May) was that they were revamping the displays, so a lot of construction was being performed. read more

Wonderful museum for anyone that does or even doesn't appreciate BMW motorcycles or automobiles. Take a walk back in history and see BMW models from the last century. Part of the museum is set up like the Guggenheim as you walk a circular ramp up from floor to floor. You can download the BMW Museum app for free and enter display numbers to hear the details on your self guided tour. Available in English. Definitely a MUST while in Munich. Restaurant on location. Gift shop has more BMW gifts than you could ever imagine! read more

I work in racing so maybe going to this museum was more in my wheelhouse (see what I did there?) but myself and my boyfriend both got enjoyment out of this museum. Tip for tourist: if taking public transportation, be sure to allow adequate amount of time. It takes a bit to get to the Olympic park area from the city centre. To begin, the BMW Welt is next door - it's free and has a lot to see and do in it as well, along with many cafe's and restarauants. The museum is very modern. From the entrance gates to the exhibits, it's very well conducted and educating. The exhibits do a good job of exploring the history, from fabrication to marketing, in the BMW world. Good opportunity to learn, here! read more

I loved it! More than just looking at cars, the museum itself is set up in such a way that it's like looking at modern art with a most awesome subject. All of the displays are bilingual in Deutsch and English, and the large collection of cars are all quite pristine. To my wife's relief, it wasn't quite as large or encyclopedic as the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart, but I still enjoyed this place thoroughly! Of course, M-B had a much better pre-war collection, but not nearly as good of a post-war-to-modern collection as BMW had here. Parking can be found across the street in the BMW Welt garage (small fee), and there's a pedestrian bridge linking the two buildings. Admission to the museum is €12 per person. read more

Such a stunning museum! Completely blown away by both the architecture and the sheer size of the museum. Admission was free on the day we went! The museum is set up so that we start at the top and work our way down through a series of rooms displaying old BMWs, new BMWs, bikes, motorcycles, engines, and interesting architecture. BMW museum is a great display of the finest German engineering! read more

Honestly, as a seven-time BMW owner, I was very disappointed in the museum. The Merceds and Porsche museums are much more impressive in regards to the number of cars on display and the history of the company and also with its relationship with the country. This museum is disjointed and does not flow smoothly. You are up and down and round and round. A lot of effort and you don't get to see much. Security lets the Instagram girls who are wannabe models take endless photos around the cars so no one else can take a photo without them standing in your photo. There was groups of screaming school children in the "junior programs" many times blocking the exhibits. If you want the factory tour, you must book in advance. There are more tours throughout the day in the summer than in the winter. The restaurants and cuisine is also better at Mercedes and Porsche. The bridge was closed between Welt and the museum so you get to dodge traffic if you want to visit both buildings. www.bmw-museum.de read more

Cars, motorcycles, engines & a boat! from 1930s til today beautifully displayed & described in English. Only takes about 1 1/2 hours to see everything. Totally worth it, especially if you're either crazy about cars or a history buff. Incredibly professional, educated, polished & helpful staff; was treated like royalty. Wonderful selection of postcards in gift shop. Clarification: Showroom & sales office (free admission, BMW Welt) in separate building; BMW museum nearby currently €10 admission. Right near Olympiapark. Easy to visit both in 1 day. After 4 weeks of a lot of castles & palaces, this was a very unique activity. (Learned some history, too.) Very highly recommended! read more

This museum is well done. From the moment you arrive you understand why BMW'S are well engineered machines. The building itself looks cool from the outside, and once you're inside it is pretty unique. That is just the building. Once inside you'll be treated to in array of bmw machines from the beginning of the companys history all the way up to modern day. I'm not a huge car guy, but I still found this museum to be well worth the visit If you find yourself in munich, set aside some time to visit the bmw museum, and then walk across the street to the bmw showroom and feast your eyes on some of the more expensive cars available for purchase. read more

Love this place. Great cars, bikes, engines even the ladys that were there were beutiful and friendly, I was in heaven! From the modern and funky design of the building to the great collection of cars. As you wind yourself down the bowl shaped museum you are taking from the beginning of the company and ther bike and engine days to todays high performance cars, bikes.... The layout is perfect for picture taking for most cars, the glass was a nuisance that protected the bikes and some of the engines. Of the three major car museums in Germany I've visited this one had the best store. Highly suggested if you visit Munich. read more

Great if you love cars, amazing if you love BMWs, and okay if you're not. They have enough to interest visitors from car enthusiasts to people who don't know anything about cars. The museum itself is very modern. I loved the kinetic sculpture, because they show it frequently on their television ads. read more

Pretty nice establishment. This is our 3rd time here. Be sure to call their number to book factory tour tickets early. Every time I come here it's harder to book ticket. The email is useless. Just call the number during the business hour. If you are coming with kids u can get the family rate of €21. Seems like how everything else operates here. The Transpotation system as well as the German museum. Oh. Side note. Don't be shock and stand still in front of the bathroom like me when u see a male attendant in the ladies room....... read more

Well, went to see BMW's and that is exactly what I did. From the showroom to the museum. No complaints. The whole history was right there. Could not ask for more. Not going to spoil anything by telling you what there is. Go see for yourself. read more

Great for not only BMW fans but people that could care less about cars in general. Amazing concept. Covers everything from their automobiles, motorcycles to their airplane engines. Bicycles to concepts cars. Had my sights set on the Volvo museum in Sweden; but this exceeded my expectations immensely. The tickets were €10 which in my opinion is quite a bargain for the experience. Overall I highly recommend this place. read more

The highlights for me: F1 room, some of the vintage BMWs, and the engine room where you could listen to the sound of each engine. read more

It's gorgeous, in the way that the building itself is a piece of modern art. The directional flow, the presentation of the pieces, the lineage, everything. You're treated to both a physical history of their company's presence in the auto industry, as well as their impact, dedication to innovation, and proud heritage as car manufacturers. I entered into that building a casual fan, and left a total BMW fanboy. I'm man enough to admit that about myself. read more

I love this place, there are so many classics here it will blow your mind. Not to mention the post-modern arcitecture

Bring your own wasser (water)! The museum is great, close to public transport and BMW really knows how to set up the displays. But here's the problem... thrre is not a single water fountain in the building! Of course you can duck your head under the spot in the washroom, but something just doesn't feel right about that. There is a cafe onsite. You can ask them for a glass of tap water... but the answer will be nein! You must buy a bottle. Six Euro please. So, with a little preparedness (bring your own water) this can be a nice experience. read more

BMW Museum - A photo from the museum. - Museums Near Me - Munich, BY

I took the afternoon tour for the museum, and for me it wasn't worth it. Due to me being uninterested in cars, I defiantly did have have low expectations, and it did turn out to be underwhelming. The tour guide was quite bland as he kept saying facts without trying to make the tour more interesting. Thus, I quickly lost interest and focus, and started wandering around. The many features of the museum somewhat made up for the flaws though, and after the tour I enjoyed the designs of the cars more. I would only pay for a visit if you own a BMW or are passionate about cars. read more
