BMW Models

The BMW models at the House are not the usual saloons and M cars. Most of the 45 or so pieces are two design studies, each held in a wide range of colours at 1:18. The Concept Coupé Mille Miglia of 2006 was BMW's modern reading of the 328 Touring Coupé that won the 1940 Mille Miglia. The GINA Light Visionary Model, shown in 2008, replaced metal body panels with a fabric skin stretched over a movable frame. Next to them are three BMW Art Cars, including the M Hybrid V8 painted by Julie Mehretu, and the M3 GTR (E46). The makers include SE7EN Models and Minichamps. All of it is on show in Al Quoz 3, Dubai, where the House is open 10am to 10pm every day and 4pm to 10pm on Fridays.
