[[BMW]] created its first horizontal opposed twin engine in 1920 and first offered it in a production model with the [[BMW R32|R32]] of 1923. In the seventy years since, BMW has stood staunchly behind this style of engine layout The opposed design offers buttery smooth performance as the engine has inherently good balance. But by the late 1980s, BMW's line of R models had fallen far behind the times. Something new was needed. Enter the revised Boxer engine for the 1990s. | [[BMW]] created its first horizontal opposed twin engine in 1920 and first offered it in a production model with the [[BMW R32|R32]] of 1923.

When the new R1100S was first shown to the BMW faithful, the company knew it had hit the mark with a bull's eye. Here was a reworked version of the venerable Boxer with a full 1100cc, fuel injection, four valves per cylinder and air and oil-cooling, | BMW first began work on its new Boxer in early 1986.
