Woo! The McLaren F1 is my favorite car of all time.

I got a private tour of BMW Classic Group in Munich this September and I was like a little kid in a candy store when I saw the F1 and the FINA F1 GTR's.

Here are some of the pics I took:
Your photos are great - I really appreciate you sharing them. The Classics' Collection Museum is a very special place and for a long time they did not allow visitors to even take photos. I am so glad they have relaxed that policy.

The three F1s in your pictures are F1 road car #047, GTR 18R with short nose and tail and GTR #26R with the longtail bodywork. BMW AG have owned that F1 road car since new, but it was a replacement car for chassis #010 that their former CEO, Bernd Pischetsrieder, totaled in an accident in Germany in 1995. The engine from the earlier car is mounted on top of that green oil drum in the back corner of your final shot, just above and behind the V12 LMR that won Le Mans.

BMW USA also own GTR #17R (which looks quite similar to 18R in your shots) and keep it with other pieces of their motorsports collection at Rahal-Letterman Racing in Ohio.

My visit to the McLaren San Francisco dealership

My friend and I recently visited the new McLaren Automotive San Francisco dealership in Palo Alto, CA. We were astounded by what we walked into. The store was really clean and everything looked futuristic. The salesman was very welcoming and we were grateful that he allowed us to take pictures of the cars in the dealership. Here's the F1 that is owned by the dealership owner himself.
