BMW WELT WELCOMES MILLIONTH VISITOR.

Delivery and Encounter Centre one of the Top Five Sights in Munich.

Munich. Today at exactly 1:39 pm the BMW Welt welcomed its millionth guest,
Eric Schillings from Brüggen in the German State of North Rhine Westfalia.
Rudolf Wiedemann, the Director of the BMW Welt, surprised this very special
guest with the great news and proudly presented a very positive attendance list
of visitors: "We are proud to have broken the mark of one million visitors
within just a few weeks after opening the BMW Welt. This proves that the BMW
Welt is a new highlight for visitors to Munich and that people are thrilled by
the unique blend of architecture, our innovative programme of events, and the
interesting exhibits."

Apart from a bouquet of flowers and a voucher for the Club Restaurant in the
BMW Welt, Wiedemann presented Eric Schillings with two VIP tickets for an
exclusive experience at the re-opening ceremony of the BMW Museum on 19 June
2008. Schillings, who had come to the BMW Welt together with his wife Simone
and their two daughters to pick up his new BMW 535d Touring in Titanium Grey,
was delighted to receive the invitation.

The newly designed and re-structured BMW Museum which, together with the BMW
Welt and the guided tour of BMW's Munich Plant, rounds off the overall BMW Welt
experience, will be opened to the public at large on 21 June.

A highlight in tourism.
Immediately after its opening in October 2007, the BMW Welt in the north of
Munich became a new highlight in tourism already ranking among the five most
popular sights in the State Capital of Bavaria. This is attributable not only
to the personalised delivery of new cars to the customer or the regular
succession of product exhibitions, but also to the very popular free jazz
concerts and the wide range of catering and restaurant facilities. Children and
young people are particularly thrilled by the Junior Campus where 7 -
13-year-olds are able to acquire knowledge in the area of mobility at their own
initiative and in a playful process. The exclusive presentation of all BMW
automobile series and motorcycles, interactive exhibits and an events forum
using the most modern technology for events of all kinds round off the many
highlights offered to visitors and the public at large.
