BMW Group Classic, Automobile museum in Milbertshofen-Am Hart, Germany
BMW Group Classic occupies a 13,000 m² site on Moosacher Straße in the Am Riesenfeld quarter of Munich, north of the Olympic Village. It includes one of BMW's first factory halls, built in 1918, with a historic gatehouse flanked by hipped-roof wings, planned between 1916 and 1918 by Eduard Herbert and Otho Orlando Kurz. Selected areas are open to the public, and a glass workshop lets visitors watch bodywork being repaired.
BMW started out in Bavaria in the early 20th century making aircraft engines before shifting to automobiles. The current site in Milbertshofen-Am Hart is closely tied to the company's growth in Munich over the following decades.
BMW Group Classic displays vehicles, engines, and archive documents drawn directly from the company's own history. Walking through the collection, visitors can follow how the look and mechanics of the cars shifted from one decade to the next.
The space is in Milbertshofen-Am Hart and easy to reach by public transport, as it sits close to BMW's main Munich sites. Those interested in archive material should check in advance whether specific parts of the collection are open to the public on the day of their visit.
The historic gatehouse with its flanking hipped-roof wings was planned between 1916 and 1918 by Eduard Herbert and Otho Orlando Kurz, and it received the Munich Facade Prize in 2017. The site also holds one of BMW's first factory halls, built in 1918.
