7. One of the "Baroque Angels" (the other is the 501) as they call it, due to the sweet sound emitting from the V8, first BMW with a V8, and from Germany post war era. Fastest saloon during its heyday....Grandmother of the M5???

9. The following are some slides shown to us during the presentation at the Regensburg factory by a BMW ///M representative depicting some of the key moments in the company's history
After the war, BMW was only making motorcycles and that was what kept the company alive. Despite the lack of profitability in the Motorrad Division, BMW will continue to make bikes due to the historical sentiment.
BMW 1500, this is the precursor to the 3 series, powered by the famous M10 engine
BMW in crisis which resulted the Quandt family buying a major portion of the company and remained as the largest shareholder till present day
BMW 700 was a small RWD car produced from 55-59, and the first one with a monocoque structure, in racing form it was codenamed 700RS.
BMW 507 is still regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever built. The Z8 was based on the 507.
Last but not least, Malaysia's most famous Motorrad rider at the infamous Erzberg Mountain, Austria. This is the location for the Annual Mountain Rodeo
