I wonder how different the prototypes are from the final production units.
What features have they tested and ultimately scrapped? because judging from the usual inner workings, we can assume they are really unique.

We visited BMW Welt and the Museum yesterday as we had heard there were some special models on display that were usually in the vault.

It was worth the trip.

Enjoy the video and photos!

We made a video which explains a bit more about some of the cars. Will be live in 2 hours.

We are so hard on the new cars because look at how high the standard was set!

Truth. They have had some lookers, and some performers, and it's natural for us to want the best of both of those worlds in every new model.

I'll take the Frank Stella art car, the E92 M3 GTS and the CSL Hommage in M livery. Thanks!

It would be an injustice to choose any one car, so I go with those wheels; damn they're nice

Thanks for sharing Imran@Evolve

At first glance I read this as Han Solo.

KINY3RA · 06-10-2022, 12:47 PM

Thanks for these photos! There are some very pretty pieces in the museum.

deemo319 · 06-10-2022, 12:48 PM

CSL Hommage is still utterly brilliant to this day. And that E53 X5 Lemans is crazy. I was in it's presence at Amelia Island a few years ago and just being near it in the metal is intense. The V12 carbon fiber engine cover is art.

It was a complete surprise to patrons that it would be there and I plotted a couple of different scenarios in which to steal it. Needless to say I would still be incarcerated here in Florida.

The legendary E31 M8 needs no introduction. I was lucky to be invited to the unveiling of the 8 Series Concept at Villa d'Este at Lake Como by BMW Classic and it was there in attendance. It's interesting how the car was rumor for many years and then seeing it in the metal is an almost unbelievable experience.

The pictures are beautiful. Well done Imran!
