German: BMW-Vierzylinder "BMW four-cylinder"; also BMW Tower.

From Wikipedia:
a Munich landmark, which has been serving as world headquarters for the Bavarian automaker for over 30 years.

The Tower was built between 1968 and 1972 and was ready just in time for 1972 Summer Olympics. Its inauguration followed on 18 May 1973. The building stands 101 m (roughly 331 feet) tall, is located in direct proximity of the Olympic Village and is often mentioned as one of the most notable examples of architecture in Munich. The large cathedral exterior is supposed to mimic the shape of a tire in a race car, with the garage representing the cylinder head. Both buildings were designed by architect Karl Schwanzer.
