In 2012, BMW opened a flagship store in Paris. The first new BMW Brand Store is located in the most luxurious area of metropolitan Paris in the Avenue George V and was designed by the well-known, luxury retail architect, Eric Carlson and his team from Carbondale Architects and Version Architects.

BMW George V also marks the launch of a new generation of BMW brand stores as well as the beginning of a comprehensive programme at the BMW Group which the company refers to as “Future Retail”.

Hannes, a reader of Bimmertoday, was recently in Paris and has given us some BMW and MINI images from the George V store. The two shops are just a short walk from the Champs-Élysées, and if you have a few minutes to spare, they are definitely worth the time.

The BMW George V store features in display a wide range of automobiles, from the all-new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe with Modern Line to the first “i” vehicles, i3 and i8, as well as the historic BMW 3.0 CSL.

Here are some photos from both stores:
