BMW's Fun Ideas For Owners Staying Home During COVID-19

These fun car ideas will get you your daily car treat, even if you're indoors due to the coronavirus. Please stay at home, stay healthy, and do your part to contain the pandemic.

Staying at home without daily contact with your car? To protect yourself from the coronavirus and to prevent further infection, staying at home is the most sensible and logical thing to do if at all possible. We didn't want to leave you alone during this time, so we put together ideas and activities to keep car lovers and BMW fans in good company, despite being in quarantine. With this in mind: stay at home to show your solidarity!

We know there are more important things than talking about cars and mobility right now. For BMW, as a globally active brand, the health of our customers, fans and employees has top priority. We will act accordingly, with confidence and solidarity. We are still here to do what we do best: Bring you Joy, and brighten your day, even in these times. We will all get through this, together. Stay safe.

GET BMW ON TO YOUR SCREEN

If you don't want to do without the distinctive melodies of a classic BMW straight six-cylinder engine, or a turbocharged BMW M engine, even in corona times, we have a great idea for you: browse through streaming services for movie classics where BMW cars are part of the cast - like in several "Mission: Impossible" movies. The secret agent Ethan Hunt, played by Tom Cruise, is not very squeamish about how he treats the BMW M models. Or watch action classics like "Ronin," "The Transporter" or James Bond films like "Tomorrow Never Dies" and "Goldeneye." Have fun browsing!
