The Welt Delivery Center
Picking up your new BMW in Munich is the start of your love affair and a very exciting experience. The BMW Welt delivery center is conveniently located across from BMW's corporate headquarters in the heart of Munich.
The address is:
Am Olympiapark 1
80788 Munich
The Delivery Center is open Monday through Saturday between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM.
The trip from the Franz-Josef-Strauss-Airport in Munich, by rental car or taxi, takes approximately 30 - 45 minutes. There is also a convenient connection via urban railway and underground. Take the S1 or S8 urban railway lines to Munich and exit at 'Marienplatz'.
Change at 'Marienplatz' and take the U3 underground line to 'Olympiapark', exiting at 'Olympiapark' underground station. When you exit here, it is just a few meters on foot to the north entrance of the BMW Welt.
Delivery
Although we strive to make each delivery experience thorough and informational, there can be a waiting period on very busy days (Mondays, Fridays, and days preceding or following a German holiday). The second floor of the Delivery Center houses a café where you are welcome to enjoy a snack, breakfast, or lunch, compliments of BMW.
