If you’ve ever wandered through the streets of Munich, you’ve probably noticed the massive cylindrical towers looming over downtown. While it may look like the headquarters of some evil empire destined to take down James Bond once and for all, it’s actually where some of the best performance cars on the planet come to life.
The BMW Tower—appropriately nicknamed 'Vierzylinder'—has stood over Munich for more than 50 years. Serving as the global headquarters for BMW Group since 1973, it's one of Germany's most recognizable corporate buildings and an architectural landmark beloved by auto enthusiasts and design nerds alike.
