BMW Tower (German: BMW-Vierzylinder, 'Four-cylinder BMW'; also BMW Tower) is one of the main attractions of Munich, the city that housed the headquarters of the automaker BMW for 30 years. It was declared a historic building in 1999. An extensive renovation took place between 2004 and 2006. The main tower was built between 1968 and 1972 and was completed just in time for the 1972 Munich Olympics, opening on May 18, 1973. The building is 101 m high, is located near the Olympic Village and is cited as one of the most outstanding examples of Munich architecture. The shape of the exterior should mimic a race car tire, with the garage representing the cylinder head. Both buildings were designed by Austrian architect Karl Schwanzer. The tower is made up of four vertical cylinders placed side by side. In particular, these cylinders are not on the ground; They are suspended from a central support tower. The tower has a diameter of 52.3 meters (approximately 171 feet). The building has 22 occupied floors, of which two are basement and 18 are for offices. BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke) is headquartered in Munich. After World War I, Germany was banned from making aviation engines, so BMW started making brakes for railways. From 1923 onwards, the company entered the automobile sector starting to manufacture motorcycles and a few years later BMW obtained a license to manufacture a small car.
