1964 BMW – Where less is more.

Only one clutch plate. Dry. The same reliable clutch system as used in your family car. The reason is simple: The BMW design. It is the only one that allows the engine and transmission to form a single unit in which the clutch is driven directly from the engine shaft. The advantages for you? Greater reliability, no oil to measure, no primary chain, gears or sprockets, and, most important, fewer parts, less trouble. BMW’s single plate clutch. Smooth. Trouble-free. Graduate to a BMW.

1972 BMW – Who needs chains?

You don’t. Drive chains mean trouble. They need constant maintenance and adjustment, and what’s a whole lot worse, they can break. Which is why all BMW’s have shaft-drive. It’s the most efficient and reliable way there is to deliver power to the rear wheel. Chains are simply not good enough for a BMW. Our shaft is one-piece drop-forged steel, and there’s nothing stronger. It turns in a completely sealed oil bath, silent, dependable and clean. No fuss, no bother, and no breaks…
