M! The most powerful letter!

Here’s a teaser from my recent visit to the BMW Museum in Munich. This was one of my favourite parts of the museum.

What’s the most powerful letter in the alphabet? M!

This traffic jam consists of ALL the M class cars ever produced. I learned that the M635csi is a true collector’s piece because it’s just a good looking car, the first generation M5 came in other colors besides black, and the first M3 (E30) is still a good looking car and the previous M3 (E46) looks pretty damn good too!

The world’s fastest Traffic Jam…

This is the current E90 M3. I like this!!



To get a feel on just how motorhead the museum is, here’s the engine exhibit; every M engine that was made for the cars you just saw. Artsy!

See the headphones hanging in front of the engines? That’s so you can listen to the engines rev from idle, up the rev band to red line and back down to idle again

Before the M division made cars for us to drive, they made engines for Formula 1 teams. This is the Brabham BT54 type that Nelson Piquet drove in the 1985 Campaign

  1. Bummer! Have you seen the M3 on Top Gear? They did a comparo test of the M3 coupe with a Merc and an Audi and then they tested the M3 Sedan against the IS-F. M3 on top!
    The sedan is a touch cheaper; doesn’t hurt to look at that…but the coupe is one nice looking car!
