BMW motorbikes are 100 years old this year, the firm having released its first bike, the R32, in 1923. The R32 was a 494cc Boxer with shaft drive and premium manufacturing quality – so you can see how the firm has stuck to the knitting, as it were. As part of its centenary celebrations, it has set up a new 100 Years exhibition at the corporate museum in Munich, which showcases all the milestone machines from those 100 years – from the early vintage Boxers, which had a troubled life interrupted by the two world wars, through to the firm’s resurgence in the 1960s and 1970s, up to its current range of superbikes and GS adventure machines... it’s all here. There’s also a focus on the people who made the brand, racers like Georg Meier and Michael Dunlop, Dakar heroes Gaston Rahier and Hubert Auriol, R90 S designer Hans Muth and many more.
The exhibition runs until May next year, entry is 10 Euros, and it opens Tues-Sun, 10am-6pm.
