The BMW Group in Munich.

Everything under one roof – that is the principle of our Digital Campus Munich. In the immediate vicinity of the Research and Innovation Center (FIZ), all IT services are bundled under one roof over an area of 60 000 square meters. There are good reasons for this: short distances and quick contacts between colleagues and teams make working here an integrating, exciting, and highly efficient experience.

Innovation needs one thing above all else: the right conditions. With the Autonomous Driving campus, we have created a modern competence center that sets new standards in terms of development efficiency and interdisciplinary work. An open space concept and the intelligent and flexible use of work areas create a working environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish. With space for around 1 800 employees, the Autonomous Driving campus is a place where colleagues from a wide variety of disciplines can work together to shape the digital future of mobility.

In the new Cell Manufacturing Competence Center (CMCC) in Parsdorf, a piece of the future is being produced: battery cell prototypes that are 95 millimeters tall, cylindrical, and have a diameter of 46 millimeters. These battery cell prototypes will be used in the models of the Neue Klasse starting from 2025. With the CMCC Parsdorf, the BMW Group is positioning itself strongly for the ramp-up of electromobility and solidifying its leading role in battery cell technology. The line at the facility allows us to fully demonstrate the value creation processes of the cell. Through this expertise, the company sets benchmarks in production, quality, performance, cost, and ecology, which are realized in close collaboration with its partners for the series production of the battery cells. Approximately 80 employees are working in the 15,000 square meter CMCC.

What will the drive technology of tomorrow be? How will people and vehicles interact in the future? And what traffic concepts will help us master the challenges of the 21st century? These and many other questions are answered by around 1 000 employees at the BMW Group Research and Technology House - Innovation Lab for short - in Garching. Our approach is anything but theoretical. Thanks to in-house high-tech workshops and laboratories, components and prototypes can also be manufactured here. This way of linking theory and practice is bearing fruit and numerous pioneering innovations are finding their way from an idea to a finished product.

If you want to create icons of automotive history, you need the right design studio. Active worldwide as a creative consultant, Designworks is a subsidiary of the BMW Group and has already played a major role in numerous milestones in BMW's automotive history. Whether it's the trend-setting BMW i3 and i8 models or the stylish BMW Z8: when exceptional design meets innovation, Designworks is usually involved. Originally founded in the USA, Designworks now also has a branch in Munich.

Completed just in time for the 1972 Summer Olympics, the four-cylinder is an outstanding example of modern architecture in Munich. The 101 meter high building has served as the corporate headquarters since 1973. From here, we steer the BMW Group's fortunes on a total of 22 floors. And although the building now represents several decades of company history, many still describe it as "Germany's most beautiful corporate headquarters".

When the BMW Group's Munich plant opened in 1922, no one would have guessed that around 7 800 employees from 50 nations would one day be working together to realise mobility visions. Where the first BMW motorcycle, the R32, was manufactured, there is now one of the most modern automobile factories in the world. Over 10 million vehicles have already left the assembly line here. For a long time, the BMW Group plant in Munich has been making a significant contribution to producing driving pleasure for the whole world.

Around three million visitors a year cannot be mistaken: The BMW Welt in Munich's Olympic Park is Bavaria's most popular tourist attraction. And there are good reasons for that: For a start, the BMW Welt attracts visitors from afar with its futuristic architecture. Anyone entering its interior knows why the BMW Welt precipitates such a great fascination: Here you can touch automotive history. In addition to BMW, BMW M, BMW i and BMW Motorrad, the two other major brands from the BMW family are also represented, namely Rolls-Royce and MINI. Buyers of a new BMW vehicle can experience a very special highlight on request: With the vehicle pick-up at the BMW Welt, customers get a brand experience of a special kind - including a virtual presentation of their new BMW, personal delivery and many other highlights that turn the purchase of the new vehicle into a unique experience. The sophisticated gastronomic offering, numerous events and special exhibitions from all cultural areas make eyes shine for visitors of all ages.
