Helmut Käs
“Without heritage, there is no future—that is what BMW believes.
The BMW Classic is not a regular tour: it starts on the ground where
BMW was born in 1916, before taking you to see the restorations, the
racing cars being worked on. The stories I’ll tell you are not
the ones you’ll find anywhere else.”
From the Archive to the Open Road
- Helmut Käs welcomes you where the company began.
- Workshops first: restorers at their benches, engines in pieces, patience in progress.
- Munich, or the Alpine roads beyond it, through the windscreen of another era.
The Practicalities of the Day
- Three hours to linger over iconic details and stories, entirely free from the rush of a schedule.
- End in the showroom alongside the most storied, immaculate vehicles BMW has ever crafted.
- Conclude with a "Pit Stop" Picnic in the English Garden over chilled Champagne or fine white wine.
- Helmut can shape the morning around your favourite era, or extend your visit into the BMW Museum.
