1967 BMW - This engine does its best work lying down.

It's supposed to. BMW designed it so that both cylinder heads are fully exposed to the breeze. This horizontally opposed design and the special heat-dissipating alloys cool the engine better. That's why the BMW twin engines are built to closer tolerances, and that's why the powerful BMW twins run quieter, smoother and enjoy a longer life. Ask any BMW owner...he'll tell you to graduate to a BMW.

1971 BMW Vintage Motorcycle Ad "Cool it" - Horizontally-opposed cyclinders





Off in the distance you can see it coming. Distinctive. Different. And very, very fast. The coolest layout running. BMW. With the best balance anywhere. AT low speeds or high. Those horizontally-opposed cylinders hum along practically vibration-free. There's less friction. So the engine lasts longer. Hardly ever needs attention. The new BMW is a super-cool bike. Because the heads really get the breeze. Air circulates freely and around the exposed fins. Can you corner? Don't sweat it. Supercycle Magazine says, "We were able to corner the machine hard and really lean it over." The fact is, BMW is so well-balanced, it can out-corner, out-ride anything in its class. Choice of models. 500, 600, 750 cc. BMW. Pure poetry on two wheels. Beautiful. Silent. Cool.
