This site is a major project, the results of which
are freely available to all. However, it is very time consuming and
sometimes difficult to find the information and photos to include on the
site. Like most people, I only have limited time and funds available to
spend on projects such as this and YOUR help would be greatly
appreciated - this isn't an appeal for funds but help in other ways. If
you enjoy the site and find it useful, then maybe you'd consider putting
something back into it by helping to improve what is aimed to be the ultimate BMW
Motorcycle Information Site by sharing your knowledge with all. The ways
you can help are listed below and if you have any other suggestions,
they will be taken on board and maybe included in the future. |

Chassis Numbers
|
Finding the later chassis numbers is difficult -
if you have access to any that aren't currently listed on the site,
PLEASE let me have the information. These numbers are on the BMW parts
CD's but I've as yet, had no luck in accessing the databases to get at
them - if anyone (including BMW) could show me a way to do this, I'd be
eternally grateful!! |

Colour Schemes
|
Detailed information and photos of all the Colour
Schemes from over the years will take me years to acquire but your help
could make all the difference. To be of any use, I require good, side-on
photos of the complete machine, front and rear mudguards, side panels,
fairing, fuel tank and seat surround where appropriate - these photos
need to be good close ups showing any pin striping etc. and MUST be of
original paintwork or a known accurate paint job. Colour name and code
number along with the colour scheme number (under seat) must also be available to
make the information of any use. If you have an original machine in a
scheme that isn't already included, please help. |
|
Machine Photos
|
Good side on photos of any machine from 1923 to
the present are always welcome. To be of use, the machine must be
reasonably standard - please also include the model designation and
colour name if you know it. |
|
Other Photos
|
Please
send any BMW photos that you feel may be of use or interest |
|
Model Information
|
If
you come across any model information that isn't already included on the
site, please let me know. As far as I'm aware, all production models are
currently included but over the years, there have been many prototype
machines and limited productions of racing machines etc. I'd appreciate
any information of this sort that you may have (including photos etc) so
that it can be included in due course. |
|
Colour Charts
|
If you
have any colour charts from over the years, a copy for inclusion on the
site would be appreciated.
|
|
Price Lists
|
If you
have any old or current prices lists, please send me a copy. |
|
Recall Notices
|
If you have any old recall notices for any BMW
models, I'd appreciate a copy for display |
|
1991 R100
|
I've been sent some information from the US regarding
BMW producing and selling around 500 Mono-Shock R100's (unfaired) in the
US. I've no information on these and BMW themselves do not list any such
thing - anyone out there have any information on this?????
HELP! I now have information that suggests 181 of these machines
were sold in the US - does anyone know of any others worldwide?? |

Financial Donations
Many thanks to all of you who continue to supply information and photos for
inclusion on this site and to all of the visitors who visit to gain an
insight into the wonderful world of BMW - it's the continuing popularity of
this place that gives me the enthusiasm to continue building and maintaining
the information but........the downside of the popularity and high usage is
the cost of the bandwidth involved - it is becoming expensive.
Unfortunately, the advertising is now an essential part of keeping this
place running. I will
continue to maintain the site regardless but your donations would help -
there is no obligation whatsoever but if you feel the site has been a help,
you may just feel like leaving a small financial contribution to help with
the maintenance. If you do, you can contribute by either PayPal or CC here.
