At least BMW manufactures it's own bikes:
The story behind the current bike collection. BMW has been building innovative high-quality bikes for the past 60 years and has been a trailblazer in the industry on more than one occasion. In the 1950s BMW produced its first bicycle made of aluminium, a material that would only become popular in the industry around 30 years later. BMW engineers also played a decisive role in developing the suspension fork when they applied the design of a motorbike suspension fork to a mountain bike. The folding mechanism used on the BMW G Bike at the turn of the millennium also proved to be a pioneering development in the industry. The frames designed by DesignworksUSA for the second and now for the third generation of BMW bike collections are bold design statements. I bought my BMW cruise bike - not the ///M version about 3 years ago, not intended as a mountain bike or serious road racer but makes for a decent cruiser for the beach, etc.. It's alright, not mad at my purchase.

For $1500 I imagine it is not very impressive! However, if it's a high end bike for $1500 is a steal!

BMW ///M marketing at its finest. Some of you will buy anything that BMW puts out with a ///M emblem lol. This bike quality is subpar. Spend the $1,500 on a proper cycle like Cannondale CAAD 10 or something similar.

NEEDED: Mounting Brackets on the M4's CFRP Roofs!
Quote:
BMW M Division engineers need to get this right and start installing Bolts and Mounting Brackets on the M4's CFRP Roofs! Otherwise what is the point of this "tribute" to the BMW M automobiles: a limited special edition BMW Cruise M-Bike that you can't mount it to your M4, how stupid!

I know everyone automatically thinks "hey the m tax" I did also, but I received this bicycle as a gift from my wife, and I felt horrible she spent the money when I had already eyeballed it on eBay and that other dealer site that had the crazy 50% off Black Friday special.
When I received the bicycle the first thing I did was rush over to the bicycle shop, get the quick release on the wheels switched to Unguard ones which require you to put the bike at a 80 degree angle to unlock it and a lock for the seat, all the guys at the shop surrounded the bike and said pricing was pretty comparable to other bicycles. Went to another shop to purchase a much larger seat as I use my bicycle every day, the gentlemen said the same, priced reasonably. I mentioned retail to these guys 1375. The bicycle gets a lot of looks, and questions, it is very nice in person. I have rode it a good amount now, this bicycle is very nice, very smooth, the hydraulic brakes are amazing, gear switching is so smooth. You can lock the front shocks on the fly, I lock the shocks all the time when going up hill and I need to stand to push with more force. Handle bars are a little short to my taste, and the tires do not grip as good, I really want to switch the tires but I like the reflective strip that goes around the tires. Might paint it mineral white. I love it and think it is worth the price tag. Here is a picture from day one before the mods... |

Why have the difficulty of having bikes on the roof. I use BMW's tow-bar and have another tow-bar ordered for our new convertible.
