Coming up on today’s BMW Motorrad Ride and Talk Podcast: An in-depth discussion with BMW Archivist Fred Jakobs about the history of BMW Motorrad. Take a listen! Those of us that follow the history of BMW know that Munich, Germany is where it all started. More than 100 years ago, a small group of designers and engineers were producing airplane and vehicle engines, and in 1923 developed and sold their first complete, production motorcycle. 100 years later, the very first building inhabited by BMW still stands, and now features a museum dedicated to vehicles and artifacts that highlight BMW’s diverse history. Today, we sit down with Fred Jakobs, head archivist of the BMW Group. Together, we discuss some of the remarkable exhibits on display at the museum, and come to understand Fred’s perspective on the rich history of BMW Motorrad.
