=== Architecture === [[File:4 cilindros y museo BMW, Múnich, Alemania 2012-04-28, DD 02.JPG|thumb|right|upright|BMW Headquarters]] The global [[BMW Headquarters]] in Munich represents the cylinder head of a [[straight-four engine|four-cylinder engine]]. It was designed by [[Karl Schwanzer]] and was completed in 1972. The building has become a European icon<ref name=Patton2009/> and was declared a protected historic building in 1999. The main tower consists of four vertical cylinders standing next to and across from each other. Each cylinder is divided horizontally in its center by a mold in the facade. Notably, these cylinders do not stand on the ground; they are suspended on a central support tower. [[BMW Museum]] is a futuristic cauldron-shaped building, which was also designed by Karl Schwanzer and opened in 1972.<ref>{{cite news|title=Touring the Temples of German Automaking|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/03/automobiles/03museums.html|newspaper=The New York Times|date=31 December 2009|access-date=21 October 2017|url-status = live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171022085155/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/03/automobiles/03museums.html|archive-date=22 October 2017|last1=Williams|first1=Stephen}}</ref> The interior has a spiral theme and the roof is a 40-metre diameter BMW logo. [[BMW Welt]], the company's exhibition space in Munich, was designed by [[Coop Himmelb(l)au]] and opened in 2007. It includes a showroom and lifting platforms where a customer's new car is theatrically unveiled to the customer.<ref>{{Citation |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=UPi7nca0jukC&pg=PA64 |page= 64 |title= Happy Customers Everywhere: How Your Business Can Profit from the Insights of Positive Psychology |first1= Bernd |last1= Schmitt |first2= Glenn |last2= Van Zutphen |publisher= Macmillan |year= 2012 |isbn= 9781137000460 |url-status = live|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180319230302/https://books.google.com/books?id=UPi7nca0jukC&pg=PA64 |archive-date= 19 March 2018 |df= dmy-all }}</ref> <gallery mode="packed" heights="120" style="text-align:left"> File:BMW Museum Old Wing Interior 200905.jpg|BMW Museum File:BMW Welt, Múnich, Alemania, 2013-04-22, DD 03.jpg|BMW Welt </gallery>
