It had to be one of the very best New Year's Eve parties ever: for well over 3,000 guests at the Night of Colours at BMW Welt, 2012 got off to an amazing start with a unique event spread over three locations. There was dancing through to the wee small hours with music from the likes of DJ Munich and Friends in the BMW Welt Double Cone, as well as at the Gong 96.3 New Year's Eve Party in the Auditorium. Others saw in the New Year at a distinguished gala in the BMW Welt Premiere, complete with musical show and New Year's Even buffet.

Guests included Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Sales and Marketing, nine times overall two-person bob World Cup winner and former Olympic gold medallist Sandra Kiriasis and former luge and two-person bob world champion Susi Erdmann.
