BMW R7
« on: August 12, 2009, 03:57:47 PM »
Saw this on the DFW BMW forum and had to lift it.  A very interesting article about the BMW R7 built in 1934 and in storage for 70 years.  Pretty cool picture too.  Check it out!

Ya know,
There is the ultimate retro look offering. If BMW made a retro with modern engineering and without making a styling hack out of it I'd be selling a slightly used kidney to get one. That R7 is a thing of beauty.
