Wow!! Was there few weeks ago, wish they did it while I was there.
They did it indoor because they are going to renovate the whole Welt from January 7th and re-open on February 9th.

People haven’t driven it… this car puts a smile on my face everything. My g80 didn’t, neither did my f90c. There is something wildly fun about this car that’s not explainable on draggy data and stupid 0-60, 1/4mile stat.. the pulls on this car are wild, and all this weight almost feels like it’s needed to keep this car balanced. This video validates that fun factor.

Well, not exactly. The Welt is in Munich and is open to the public as well as the BMW Museum. See www.bmw-welt.com

The Welt was built to handle this kind of stuff. I was there in 2014, and as other said it is like a musefum-showroom delivery place. Ive seen also some cars driven there but not like this. Its not really new, I recall seeing BMW 328 Mille Miglia (from 1940) being driven on similar ramp indoors in Frankfurt motor show in 2009, and that too was fine.

It is a large building, lots of open space. It is in part an exhibition hall and there's a rather fancy restaurant and a sort of cafe inside it too. It's really a huge space. It's hard to put in words, but think a small stadium sized building to get the picture.

It also hosts for those lucky enough to have it as an option the factory collection's delivery experience. Which means your car is brought up onto the 1st floor (2nd floor for those thinking the ground floor is the 1st floor) of the building (using a glass elevator), then parked for you to take delivery. You then drive it indoors on a downward slight slope to leave the building (this slope is where the drifting footage is shot on the light grey flooring with a black line showing where to drive: that's normally used at a much ore sedate pace by lucky Germans to get to pick up their car at BMW Welt.

There's also a BMW lifestyle physical shop inside the building (actually that's under the delivery area]

There's nothing secret as anybody can walk in, no tickets, no security checkpoint or so. You just walk in the door.

Last I was there they have a handful of "normal" cars, Regular BMWs, Mini, and a Rolls-Royce. They had a yellow M5 (might have been this one, hard to tell them apart if it was a [...]
So much to learn so fast! Sounds awesome. I mist hand to ze Germans. Love Bimmerpost. Thanks y’all!

Anyways reminded me this video:

And the reality:

Can’t believe you caught me on video doing warm up laps 😂

Yeah, on reflection it really is a special moment.

You’re so excited when it’s your time to come down the ramp and see your car for the very first time that it feels like a blur. It all goes by so fast.

Doing that victory lap and then out into the world was amazing for sure.

Bro you missed the pun
It was a joke about the colossal weight of the new m5…
But very cool info nonetheless
