Engine Summary
|
The two cylinder flat twin Boxer engine is
BMW's famous, time-tested, signature design.
First designed in 1923, its two horizontally
mounted cylinders are like a boxer's gloves
punching each other as he enters the ring.
The result is a supremely reliable,
flexible engine with a low center of
gravity and like all twins, excellent torque
characteristics. The exposed cylinders offer
excellent air cooling and if it's durability,
performance, and bulletproof all-around
handling you want, this is your powerplant. |
