If you open it, will they come?
BMW says that since the Bavarian State Government has now eased its regulations and measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus that BMW Welt will be reopening its vehicle collection service, sales rooms and showrooms from May 4.
Customers can therefore again take delivery of their new BMW in person at BMW Welt. In addition, a limited number of visitors can get personal advice on new vehicles in the BMW Welt showrooms or visit the BMW Welt Lifestyle & Accessory Shop to purchase from a wide range of BMW and MINI branded products.
Vehicle handovers, consultations and sales will be carried out in compliance with all official safety regulations and measures. For example, customers collecting their vehicles at BMW Welt will be shown to a private area of our unique BMW Product Info Center where they will be given a virtual demonstration of all the functions of their new BMW. Customers who have planned to pick up their vehicles at BMW Welt on or after May 4 should contact their BMW partner for further information.
For the time being, the sales rooms and showrooms at BMW Welt will be open again for customers and browsers from Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 8 pm. Cooper’s bistro will be serving take-away food and drink.
The BMW Museum, BMW Group Classic and other restaurants in all the locations will remain closed to the public until further notice. There will also be no guided tours, public events or workshops (for example at the BMW Welt Junior Campus). “We apologize to all our customers and visitors for the inconvenience and look forward to welcoming them back soon.”

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks.
Zino builds AutoInformed from his background in automotive journalism starting at Hearst Publishing in New York City on Motor and MotorTech Magazines and car testing where he reviewed hundreds of vehicles in his decade-long stint as the Detroit Bureau Chief of Road & Track magazine.
