When you exit the metro station Olympia-zentrum the first thing you you will see this is a spaceship aliens who came to learn from automotive industry. It is a spaceship that resembles a pretentious BMW Welt auto show, where you can walk around and share some expensive and good cars, as well as sit inside, introducing himself as such dashing driver, dissecting the vastness of “immense” Germany on convertible.
