Rust in peace

/in

We commonly like to look at shiny 700’s but there are 700’s out there desperately looking for some tender, love and care.

There is hope that one day someone will stumble upon one of these 700’s and fix them. Other’s are simply beyond repair, may they rust in peace.

If you have pictures of a 700 in dispair then do please share these by using the contact form. They deserve the attention.

Gaisbergrennen 1961

/in

In 2019 we’ll be celebrating the 60 years anniversary of the BMW 700! To not let this go unnoticed new content will be published on BMW700.net throughout the year.

I am kicking off with the Gaisbergrennen of 1961 which turned out to be a historical event for BMW. With the legendary hill climb champion Hans Stuck, 60 years at the time, at the wheel they secured the #1 position with their 700 RS.

Brochures

/in

It sounds quaint by today’s marketing standards, but for much of the 20th century, if you were a car company, and you wanted to sell some wheels, you made a brochure.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane with these BMW 700 brochures.
