    Default My Visit to the BMW M Studio and BMW Classic (Gratuitous McLaren F1 Pics Inside) – 10-05-2011,02:55 PM
    I was in Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria a couple of weeks ago on vacation (I actually picked up a new MB C-Coupe). I decided to e-mail some buddies at BMW M to see if I could visit while I was in Munich.

    They gave me such a great welcome at BMW, took me to lunch at the real M cafe, showed me around the M studio AND the private lot where the prototypes were just swarming (including the M6 prototype).

    I obviously couldn't take pics of a lot of things, but I was able to get tons of pics at BMW M and BMW Classic. BMW Classic is not open to the public, so being able to go there and see my favorite car of all time, the McLaren F1, in the FINA racing version was a dream.

    Well, here are the pics:

    M Studio:






    BMW Classic:


























    And, here's a video shot from my iPhone 4:

    Enjoy!

    Wow! What an opportunity! I really liked seeing the M1 tucked behind the one piece nose. Didn't expect to see that!
