I’m not sure what people in Munich are more passionate about, their beer or their cars. Based upon the $250 million showroom BMW recently opened just North of the city center, cars may have the edge. This image shows the architectural wonder of the building, “Its undulating steel forms, suggesting the magical qualities of liquid mercury.” The new showroom will see 800,000 visitors this year with more than 45,000 picking up their new cars, finding them bathed in a spotlight and rotating on a turntable – 80% of those will be purchased by Germans. The building is quite a site, sitting next to the four-cylinder headquarters, the BMW Museum which looks like a giant soup bowl, and across from the 1972 Olympic Park.
