BMW Twins The Complete Story

by Mick Walker

First seen at the Paris show in 1923, the horizontally opposed BMW R23 marked the beginning of an unbroken line of Boxer twins whose popularity has continued for more than 75 years. Although BMW has designed one, three, and four-cylinder models, their history has been overwhelmingly written by their legendary flat twins, which have distinguished themselves in both war and peace, on the street, at the track, and off-road. Author Mick Walker charts the full story of these special machines from both a historical and technical perspective, covering the very latest in four-valve boxers which are poised to lead BMW into the next century.
