The BMW 700 has good reason to celebrate this year - it is now the 50th anniversary of the "savior". Although this vehicle represented a complete departure from the BMW shapes common up to that time, its development in 1959 succeeded in preventing the sale of BMW. From page 3 you can read about just how the BMW 700 became so hugely popular.

You can also catch up on the continuation of the unusual "Dream trip for three" with Marlotte and Peter Backhaus in their Goggomobil. A journey covering 200,000 km through 80 countries provided the material for a fascinating documentary - and a film with unique footage of these countries and the people who live there.

The BMW Club Croatia also celebrates its anniversary, now looking back over 10 years since its founding. Here, drivers and fans tell of their experiences with the cars as well as sharing their passion for their beloved brand BMW.

The Club Portrait on page 11 provides a fascinating insight into the biggest and oldest vintage motorcycle club in North America, so here you can look forward to a tour with the "Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners".
