BMW announces some awesome vintage support!

Thursday, 04. 8. 2010 – Category: BMW News, Main

Not one, but two press releases from BMW Group today confirm the company’s commitment to its heritage. Many fans are familiar with BMW’s Mobile Tradition efforts, targeted at owners of classic Bavarian cars. The relatively recent, very public restoration of an Inka BMW 2002tii comes to mind, for example. Reading through today’s announcements these same factory-quality restorations will soon be available to consumers through the BMW Classic Center. Yep, you can now get your 3.0CSL or E30 M3 minty-fresh from the factory!

While I’m sure the costs involved will be significant, nothing screams pedigree like a truly brand new vintage BMW. In addition, BMW Group Classic revealed that they will offer factory assistance to vintage racers through a newly created Motorsport division. Yep, you can now get your fully restored 3.0CSL and have it factory prepped for vintage racing! Or, should you now be made of greenbacks, you can at least buy some cool vintage tuning bits to make you feel like you’re about to go airborne over Flugplatz. Of note as well: it appears this support will even extend to BMW Motorcylces as well as the vintage Mini which, if I’m not mistaken, is BMW’s first official support of Rover’s former baby.

I’m sure enthusiasts are rifling through couch cushions around the world at this exact minute to scrape together every last bit of spare change.
