BMW has not been actively involved in racing efforts in recent years, but has a long history of racing and record breaking. One of their most famous Early Riders was [[Ernst Henne]], who set many speed records on streamlined, supercharged boxers in the 1930s. A BMW supercharged 500cc flat-twin, was rode by [[Schorsch Meier]] when he became the first foreign rider to win an [[Isle of Man TT]] in 1939 competing in the Senior class. | BMW has not been actively involved in racing efforts in recent years, but has a long history of racing and record breaking.
