The BMW Museum puts on an event called: "Night of the White Gloves at the BMW Museum". This is a special evening where the public are allowed to "touch" the rare classic cars on display at the BMW Museum. I have been wanting to go to this event for a long time... but Life seems to always get in the way. This year the good people at BMW Classic invited me, and I just could not say no. I am glad I attended!

Everyone gets a pair of white gloves before entering the museum. You can touch the cars and look under the hood and inside the cars. Normally the cars are all locked up - but not so on this special night. BMW also hired a jazz music band and had models walking thru out the museum. There was extra museum staff on hand to help answer questions and open up the cars. It was really cool to be able to touch and feel the classic lines of the cars that were on display at the museum.

I had never seen this many people at the Welt/Museum before. The Welt's parking garage was full as was street parking. I decided to try to use the park-haus across the street from the Pizza Hut, but that too was full. Then I tried Olympia Park, park-haus but that was also full. WTH. I then ended up parking about 1/2 mile away... because there was literally no parking spots available ANY where! But then again... that's a good sign you are at a "special" event. It was worth the "parking" effort.

The BMW Museum has been holding this "White Glove" event since 2012(I believe). The museum opened late in the evening at 8pm and the event ran until midnight. I was really surprised on how many people came out on this cold evening to look at BMW's. Even inside the BMW Welt there were a ton of people - normally empty at night. One thing is for sure... the people of Munich(and from around the world visiting) Love BMW's.


I also want to thank the good folks at BMW CLassic for inviting me to this event.
