This [[BMW]] with [[Steib sidecar]] had originally been designed to tow a light gun, but the weight on the tow-bar lifted the front wheel off the ground. Armed with a mobile machine gun, the BMW was a rugged, reliable go-anywhere vehicle. Expensive to build, its cost was double of the Porsche designed VW (Jeep-like) vehicle, even so, 16,500 machines were built and remained in service throughout the war. The palm tree insignia indicates that this machine was part of Rommel's Afrika Korps. This bike was built to the same specifications as the [[Zundapp]] [[Zundapp KS750|KS750]]. | |||
