Pre-85 R bike "old" BMW brochures and literature

by Duane Ausherman


These are mostly brochures available from dealers, unless otherwise noted.  All are in English.  Most are in good condition, but the few that are fair/poor will be noted.  Some are in super condition and will be noted.  The price reflects rarity/condition...... in my opinion.  Many are full of high quality 4 color photos, unless noted.

If more than one item is available, the first buyer gets the "better one" and so on.  In your order, put the item numbers in the subject.  Example;  "old BMW #3, #8, #33 wanted"  If it says something else, the email could just sit and wait until I get to it.  By that time, it may have been sold to another person.

The email with the oldest date/time gets it in case of a double order.  The postage will be as close to actual as I can estimate it.  If you pay $4 for postage and it arrives with only $3.56 used up and that bothers you, don't order from me.  If you wish it packed up better than in a large envelope, let me know and for a small handling charge and the slight extra postage, you will get it sandwiched in cardboard and double addressed.

Paypal is preferred.

When something is reserved, or sold, I will change the type to red.  Check back, as if the buyer fails to pay, then it will be back on the market.  After a short time and most of the "good stuff" is gone, then I will sell the rest off in a bunch. maybe on eBay.
