Inside Bastian Schweinsteiger’s Car Collection: Style, Substance, And A Few Surprises

Former German footballer and national hero, Bastian Schweinsteiger, is known for his legendary grit—especially in the World Cup final against Argentina. His never-give-up attitude on the field has earned him a massive fan following worldwide. Off the pitch, his lifestyle is equally inspiring, especially for those chasing big dreams. And like many legendary sports icons, Bastian too has a garage that is full of some extraordinary rides.

If anyone’s garage rivals his, it’s longtime teammate Philipp Lahm—also an Audi lover with a shared passion for sleek, high-performance cars. From a line of Audis to a few Mercedes and even a Range Rover, Schweinsteiger clearly enjoys both comfort and style.

Let’s take a look at the rides “Schweini” has been seen with over the years or known to park in his garage.

8. 2010 Audi A1

In 2010, both Bastian and Philipp Lahm were seen test-driving the new Audi A1. The clip shows them enjoying the ride and having a fun time together.

Audi gifted these cars to the players during a promotional event, and it added yet another memory to their friendship both on and off the pitch.

7. 2013 Mini Cooper S

Bastian was also seen driving a Mini Cooper S in 2013. The compact and stylish car offered a glimpse into his more laid-back side. Whether cruising through Munich or simply enjoying a quiet ride, the Mini added a bit of variety to his otherwise performance-heavy collection.

The world famous Messi, from the South American soil, also has one of the Mini Cooper in his flamboyant car collection. Check out his garage to find out more interesting stuff about the one of the most historic players football game has ever witnessed.

6. 2015 Audi TT

In 2015, Schweinsteiger was seen at the launch of the Audi TT in Frankfurt. Audi and Bayern Munich have had a long-standing partnership, and this moment reflected the strong bond between Schweinsteiger and the brand.

5. 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK 350

A 2011 picture shows Schweinsteiger posing next to a Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 alongside his then-teammate Holger Badstuber. The photo was taken just a day before Germany’s friendly match against Australia.

Another superstar from the football world, Brett Favre—popular as The Gunslinger—also has a TT Coupe in his exclusive car collection. Check it out to find more of his rides and interesting stories behind them.

4. 2016 Land Rover Range Rover

In 2016, Schweinsteiger was spotted arriving at Manchester United’s training ground in a muddy Range Rover. At the time, his future at the club looked uncertain, with reports suggesting he was on his way out.

Still, the Range Rover reflected his steady and no-nonsense style—always showing up, rain or shine.

3. 2008 Audi S8

Bastian received an Audi S8 in 2008, thanks to Audi’s sponsorship of the Bayern Munich team at the time. Photos from the event show him smiling proudly next to the car. It was a big deal back then—an Audi S8 wasn’t just any car.

Interestingly, David Beckham also owns an Audi S8, and the two players once faced each other in a Champions League match back in 2007.

2. 2018 Audi A8

During Schweinsteiger’s farewell match in Munich—Bayern Munich vs. Chicago Fire—his wife Ana was seen stepping out of a black Audi A8. Wearing a classy black and white outfit, she looked stunning on this emotional day. 

The Audi A8 added a touch of elegance to what was already a special moment in Bastian’s life.

1. 2012 Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro

According to a report by T-Online, Bastian owns a 2015 Audi R8. A photo shows someone believed to be Schweinsteiger behind the wheel of this sleek machine. 

Interestingly, another legend of the game, Neymar Jr. also holds this special automobile inside his garage, forging a small connection between these two European superstars of the game.

Special Mention

2014 BMW X3

Fans spotted Schweinsteiger with a bold BMW X3 SUV. He later posted a photo of himself with it in 2016. Though he was at Manchester United then, the car felt more connected to his time in Munich. It was a comfortable, practical SUV, perfect for someone who still felt at home in Germany.

2013 Volkswagen Type 1 (Beetle)

It isn't clear if he owned it or not, but  if he did, then the Beetle must have been a nostalgic choice, a throwback to simpler times. It's a bit different from his usual cars, showing another side of him to his admirers.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

There’s no confirmed photo or report of Schweinsteiger with a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, but rumors suggest he might’ve owned one. If true, it would’ve fit perfectly with his taste for sporty, high-performance cars. Still, without proof, this one stays in the “maybe” category.

Ferrari 458 Italia

Just like the Porsche, the Ferrari 458 Italia is also tied to Schweinsteiger through speculation. Some say he may have had one during his top years at Bayern. It would make sense—fast, stylish, and high-end. But without a clear photo or report, it remains a rumor.
