BMW History Models

Sonny Barger, founder of the Hells Angels do not like Harley .. what's up with that?
I am reading the book written by him entitled "Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club, and Barger admits that he was not in the Hell's Angels that he would be riding either a BMW or a Honda. In another interview he talks about how he thinks Harleys are junk and that the balancing system on the 88V engine is "the kind of thinking a Caterpillar tractor had a hundred years ago." I think this is very difficult to digest and, strangely, makes me lose some respect for my Harley. I know part of the attraction and badassness a Harley is to know the history of them. In addition to this, almost any outfit Harley You can buy these days is modeled on a Hells Angels type look. Whats the point in having a Harley if the guy is partly responsible for their popularity thinks they are junk?
Check the rest of the questions this post. Each is a troll topic about Harleys. I'm not a big fan of Harleys, but mark baiting is not cool.

BMW 6 Series Enthusiast's Companion $26.95 In his BMW 6 Series Enthusiast's Companion? Jeremy Walton presents the history of one of BMW's most revered lines: the "Sixers", from the 3.0 liter, 126 mph 630Csi to the 155 mph M6 35Csi with its fabulous 24-valve motor. Walton discusses 6 Series origins, design and engineering development, racing history, and sales statistics in both America and Europe. Fully restored 1988 sixer 1986 Spa 24 Hours in Belgium You'll learn about the formation of Bayerische Motoren Werke from its late nineteenth century manufacturing origins to its contemporary fame. Devastated by WWII, BMW still managed to become the manufacturer of one of the world's most luxurious and technically sophisticated automobile lines. The evolution of BMW luxury sport coupes leads directly to the 6 Series, as BMW struggles to live up to its own reputation in creating a new legend. The story is fascinating not only for the details that the author's painstaking research and long experience have provided, but also for an understanding of all the influences at work on BMW in the successful creation of a new line. Being a BMW story, racing action is never far away. The exciting story of the 635's underdog role in European racing against the more powerful V12 Jaguars and the "brick-like" Volvo turbos is faithfully detailed. 6 Series racing in Australia is also recorded. It is the story of a sensational showroom coupe that BMW never intended to race but which, in the end, could be proud of a championship pedigree that many purpose built competition cars never equal. It is an amazing story told by an author who was directly involved with the events. The book is generously illustrated with rare photos and line drawings. New to this edition is the tale of the author's own experience in buying and restoring a 6 Series to daily driver status, as well as six appendices filled with useful statistics and information: German production/US sales figures; performance figures; factory backed racing achievements; collectable 6 Series specs; racing chassis numbers and clients, and a comprehensive spotter's guide outlining year by year production specifications and changes. M30-coded big six engine The BMW 6 Series Enthusiast's Companion? is a must for all 6 Series owners and admirers who are interested in the history and evolution of the big, beautiful Bimmer - the car that seduced so many enthusiasts in the 1970s and 1980s and continues to win hearts across the globe. Features: Insider information on the 6 Series engine development The most comprehensive 6 Series racing history available Spotter's Guide detailing technical data and year-by-year model changes for all E24 models sold in the U.S., including L6 and M6 models. Beautiful Sixer photos from official BMW archives and well-known BMW racing photographers Official factory performance figures and specs for each year of 6 Series production Official sales records for both US and European models Winner of a 2000 IAMA Gol |

BMW in Motorsport $116.3 Throughout its history, BMW cars and motorcycles have been successful in a range of motorsport activities. Mainly before WW2, BMW motorcycles were winning e.g. at the Isle of Man TT. Apart from the factory efforts, many privateer teams enter BMW road cars in Touring car racing. BMW also entered cars or provided engines in Formula One, Formula Two and sportscar racing. BMW is currently active in ALMS, Formula One, the World Touring Car Championship (WTCe and the World Superbike Championship. An outstanding role played the 1500 cc BMW M10 engine block. The four cylinder started with modest 75 hp (56 kW) in 1961, became successful in touring cars, developed over 300 hp (224 kW) in 1970s Formula Two, and at the ripe age of a quarter century, produced almost twentyfold its original power in the 1986 turbocharged BMW M12/13/1. As the base of the BMW S14 engine of the original BMW M3, it collected many more wins.

BMW N53 $93.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The BMW N53 is BMWs latest and most modern straight 6 engine, released in 2007 in the facelifted BMW 5 Series (E60/E61) and the BMW 3 Series (E90/E91/E92/E93).

However, unlike its predecessor, it does not contain BMWs Valvetronic technology due to space limitations in the cylinder head.BMW does not plan to put the N53 engine for sale in Australian and North American models due to the high sulphur content of the fuel available in these markets.
