Involving 800 children aged between five and 13 years old, the full-sized BMW X1 model was built in just four days using 165,000 LEGO bricks.

The result is impressive – but we’re not sure about their choice of yellow colour!

The build of the model not only brought a lot of fun to the young car designers, but also served a good purpose. For each built-up Lego blocks, BMW will make a donation to the Children’s World “Die Arche” in Munich, where socially disadvantaged children are cared for.

The LEGO BMW X1 will be on display at BMW Welt from 25th November.

2,000 LEGO® blocks. Four days. One construction plan. BMW Welt will be transformed into an assembly hall.

All families and children aged 5 and over will be invited to build a full-scale BMW X1 – out of Lego bricks. Whether individually or in groups, everyone will be working together for a good cause, because for every Lego block used, BMW will donate a sum of money to the Munich children’s foundation “Die Arche”.

And if the kids begin to struggle then trained BMW staff will be on hand to help with the construction – which will carried out according to an exact plan (well they’re German aren’t they).

The finished BMW X1 made of Lego bricks will then stand proudly among the BMW automobiles on display within the BMW Welt Plaza. Somehow we think those BMW staff might end up becoming more involved than they’d like to…
