BMW HQ 
They not only make "hep" cars but even their Headquarters is cool. Came across this picture in one of my e-mail Quiz Groups. The BMW Headquarters is designed like a four-leafed-clover representing the four cylinders of a Car Engine.
Next to the 4-cylinder skyscraper sits another distinctly German building designed by the very same architect, the BMW Museum. The Museum, completed in 1973, is a most unusual building, shaped like a large bowl, with its circular base that grows larger in diameter as it rises nearly five stories high. Inside, a spiral path supported by four pillars provides the museum floor space; visitors unknowingly work their way upward and outward as they stroll through the various displays.
Have heard Germany is a very beautiful place. Now I have another reason to plan a trip there :-)
