On my way over to the Sleep Over event at the BMW Museum last weekend... I decided to pay a visit to the BMW Individual Niederlassung(factory run dealership) on Frankfurter Ring... I think you guys will approve.

Dack







First stop for me, when visiting Munich is actually to drive past ///M HQ in Garching... that day I was lucky as the front gate was left open! It was like they knew I was coming over. As you look inside the gate... the famous ///M Studio is there - along with some "zebra" test mules....












And now the factory Niederlassung...












I wonder how THIS happened...
















almost every car is an Individual spec...

.



















These pics were taken about 40 minutes later... you can see how the car's color has changed as the sunlight changed...









































Lease info bottom RIGHT box... 15K euros down, 36 month lease, 10K kms per year, 861 euros per month! lol

The End.

Always make a pit stop when I'm in Munich

I am in between the Munich and Stuttgart Niederlassung for location. I have to travel to Stuttgart on occasion and the presentation is nice there as well. The Munich location is superb.

I will attempt a visit the next time we attend an event in Munich or Welt with a friend for delivery. Excellent post Dack!

Nice place, but to drive M car in Germany you had to be rich person. Every time I go to Germany to visit my Wife's family I got shocked to see what they are paying for their cars. Basically you can buy M car in U.S for cost of 335D in Germany. We are so lucky here!

Automobiles have always been cheaper in America than in Europe. I don't know why

Thanks as always for taking us along!

I so wish the cloth/alcantara interior in the white 2 series was offered in the US. Anyone know why it is not? Maybe it would steal too many leather sales away. Oh, and I also DEMAND that the 5 series touring be sold in the US.

Wait..."sleep-over party at the BMW Museum"?? Do tell...

Each type of interior offering requires its own round of crash tests which adds several million to the development costs.

Anyone who wants a wagon that doesn't qualify as a light truck or any other low volume variants that are barred from entry due to Non-Tariff Regulatory Barriers should address this to the person who declined to complete the necessary final formalities and introduced new hurdles. He can be found here:

1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington D.C. 20500

I agree. I don't know why BMW USA is so dumb not to offer the 5er Touring and the 2er/3er's with cloth seats. I think both would be very popular options.

You must have missed my photo thread on the Museum. Here you go. It was featured on the front page of BP.

Sleep over at the BMW Museum...

Imagine that but... add a 15-32% base price (fuel consumption/emissions tax) and a MONTHLY engine tax (based on hp) which is higher than what a german has to pay for a year - and you got Austrian prizes...

But if you are a 9 million population country - BUT your politicians have to earn more than their american or german colleagues... you gotta rip your hard working citizens off a little more!

Great work, cheers Dackelone

Which Stuttgart Niederlassung location do you recommend?


BMW Niederlassung Stuttgart Filiale Rosensteinpark,
Pragstraße 140, 70376 Stuttgart

BMW Niederlassung Stuttgart,
Untere Waldplätze 3, 70569 Stuttgart


Also... next time your in München you should checkout the new Motorworld location... its construction has started and I think it should be finished by next year.

München Motorworld
Lilienthalallee 35, 80939 München


The only other BMW Niederlassung on my radar is the all new building in Berlin. One day I will go visit along with the BMW Motorrad factory in Berlin.

BMW Niederlassung Berlin
Messedamm 1,
14057 Berlin

Excellent report as always, thanks Dackel.

I had my 1200 mile service done at this dealership and by the time I was done touring the showroom, buying few things and grabbing a snack, my car was ready.

Dack,

The Waldplätze is the location. Kreuz 831/81/8 Stuttgart. Very easy to enter and depart.

Many thanks for the info on Berlin and München Motorworld!!

Good evening! David

Being very generous with the estimate of additional sales a G31 540iX/540dX would need to bring to market at minimal loss (1500 per year for 6 years) and do so without cannibalizing any other internal product would put the additional cost to bring the cars to market at just over $14,000 PER car including the typical discount.

Ohh yes, I've been to that one. It's just outside of Patch Barracks.
