The art of design.
Every thing of beauty begins with an idea. The timeless profi le of
the BMW Series Saloon started out that way, as an idea in the
heads of BMW designers. Combined with superb engineering and
precise manufacturing technology, this aesthetic vision became the
BMW Series Saloon. The creative design process is symbolised
by the “Kinetic Sculpture”, a three-dimensional arts installation in
the BMW Museum in Munich. It features silver spheres fl oating
up and down, in apparent defi ance of gravity. As they do so, they
alternately form abstract shapes and the silhouettes of well-known
BMW automobiles, captivating the attention of the visiting public.
The art of good automobile design is to create the one perfect
shape from among countless possibilities.
Since its redesign and re-opening in , the BMW Museum,
together with the BMW plant and BMW Welt, has been part of a unique
brand experience at the BMW headquarters in Munich. Exhibits include
the fi rst BMW Series Saloon generation of , which pioneered the
modern model series nomenclature of Series, Series, Series and
Series. Altogether, there are exhibits on display, using the most
advanced museum technology to illustrate the history and innovative
ability of Bayerische Motoren Werke.
