The BMW multistoried building (also BMW tower, officially BMW four-cylinder) is that head office and landmark of the automaker BMW in Munich.

It was built between 1968 and 1972 (punctually to the olympic one summer games 1972) and to 18. May 1973 inaugurated. It is 101 m highly. It stands in direct proximity to the resident of Munich olympia area and is like this one of the see-worthy examples of modern architecture in Munich. Beside it the BMW museum well-known in the vernacular as salad dish stands directly. The architect is Karl Schwanzer.

Optically seen the building presents itself as from four senkrechten cylinders next to each other-standing in cross form existing, whereby each cylinder is divided again in the center by withdrawing the front. The building is to that extent interesting from its statics the fact that these cylinders do not stand on the soil but at inside the building a prominent central suspension tower hangs upward. The individual floors were built on the soil and pulled upward then. The tower has a diameter of 52.30 meters.

The building has altogether 22 projectiles, of it 2 basements and 18 office projectiles. The BMW multistoried building was with completion of Munich highest office building, however some years later by the 114m high Hypo multistoried building was exceeded.

While the olympic plays 1972 all BMW Logos had from the buildings is removed, in order to avoid unwanted Schleichwerbung. That applied also to BMW of 2002 models with electric drive, which accompanied the olympic marathoners on their distance.

Since 1999 the building standing under monument protection is reorganized from 2004 on. These work should be final 2006.
