If this gloomy season finds you yearning for warmth and light and you don't have the time for a south sea island jaunt, then maybe you should take a look at the new exhibition located at the beginning of the Museum Bowl in the BMW Museum.

Under the banner of Rhapsody in Orange, the BMW Museum has now put the BMW Turbo, BMW M1 and the BMW M1 Hommage on display to the public. The BMW Turbo originates from the year 1972 and was designed under the aegis of the chief designer at the time, Paul Bracq. The Turbo was a study that featured a diverse range of technical innovations and a design that was functional and groundbreaking. It was seen as a response to the safety discussions that were taking place at that point in the 1970s. The design of the BMW M1 leaned heavily on that of this model. The work of the Italian automobile designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, no more than 450 of these extraordinary sports cars were made between 1978 and 1981. It even earned its own racing series. These days, the M1 is rightly regarded as an in-demand classic. In honour of the BMW M1's 30th birthday, an unusual design study was undertaken in 2008. The 'Hommage Car' was presented at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, earning instant praise for a BMW M1 reinterpreted for the present day, with breathtaking design, colour and form.

No less powerful are the constantly varying colours of Ortwin Klipp's photographic images, as they merge and drift within the compositions. As a starting point, the photographer has taken portraits of people, transforming the images into softly flowing visions of abstractly dissolving colour and form.

The special exhibition will run until June 3, 2012 and is located in the "Visions" area.
