Cracking few hours spent at the BMW Welt and Museum yesterday. Pics here, go nuts. Art cars stole the show

Good, innit?

I only really went to Munich to visit the museum, but stayed in the city for a number of days and actually found that Munich itself is really nice too. (And I'm not really a city person)

Going through those pictures just confirms that the new BMWs do nothing for me as I find it gets better the further I get into the album.

Can't believe you risked both your camera and your eyes getting images of that Cullinan. Brave boy JL. You won't see anything more terrifying than that this week.

I don’t think the Cullinan is all that bad - it’s far better looking than the Bentayga anyway.

Yep, it just looks like a Range Rover with a generic Rolls Royce front end - and is actually faithful to the original Rolls Royce pre-war concept of having car capable of travelling across any kind of terrain so I don’t hate it as much as most other SUVs.

Yeah I was amazed actually. In the reals it's quite handsome and the picnic seats are brilliant

Love those engine photos.

Yeah, I had a look around one yesterday and I like it a lot! Would be my pick in the Euro-millions SUV category.

I never really understood the appeal of modern RR, until I sat in a few at the Frankfurt motorshow years ago. The engineering quality and attention to detail is exquisite (and they look much better in real life, than in pics/vids)

That said, I'm not a fan of posh SUVs, so I'll have a new Bentley Conti GT for my ostentatious car, please....They look almost spot on

Our CEO has his arm twisted by RR to borrow the coupe one. It was hugely impressive but he chose to stick with his ageing S65 AMG. He’s tighter than a ducks arse. 8 years ago he drove a Rover 25, now he’s worth something like £50m

Had to be dragged away from them mate.

The original 6 Series was just right wasn't it.

I've you have some more time in Munich, the Deutsches Museum is also superb.
It's located right in the city.
Cars, planes, ships, etc... Even a cut up WW1 U-boat in the cellar!
They also have a separate airplane museum a couple of miles outside the city center at old airfield.

I might be able to hook that up! Thanks for the steer, much appreciated

I mentioned and I think I got away with it.

Bruno Michael William for Junior's name?

Could also be based on Karl Emil or Ferdinand as of yesterday as we ticked Porsche and Mercedes off the list as well - mirror-image day of the last time I was in Stuttgart for me but it was the first time for the old man, and even the chicks really enjoyed it.

My day was made as the Porsche museum had a 935/78 this time around, which was the one disappointing omission when I visited last time.

Had to bump because Moby Dick:
