The Real Reason BMW Boxers Never Die

The Real Reason BMW Boxers Never Die On June 21, 2023, BMW rolled out the one-millionth GS built around a boxer engine. The engine underneath it was running the same fundamental layout Max Friz drew in 1922. That is 101 years.

None of it ended the boxer. Drop a comment and tell me what you ride, and which brand you think builds the most bulletproof engine.
