Here are just a few of the items now available from us online.

With colder weather upon us, why not upgrade your riding wardrobe with the "LS Silver-Function-2 Shirt". The highly functional properties of this garment offer you an extreme level of climatic and wear comfort. The x-static® material allows for a high level of moisture transportation and the anti-microbiotic properties of the silver fibers woven into the fabric fight odor-causing bacteria. Due to its anti-static function, the shirt is kept free of static electricity and is also quick drying and easy to care for. The casual, body-hugging fit and flat seams add to the comfort of this functional shirt making it the ideal garment for any sporting activity. Why not ride in comfort instead of staying home? To get more information about the "LS Silver-Function-2 Shirt" go to our new Original BMW Merchandise Store, navigate to Apparel and choose Shirts under the Clothing sub-menu.

It is a great time to browse the Gear section of the new web site for all the cool stuff under the Gift Items sub-menu.

Everyone loves motorcycle collectibles, from day-dreaming tire-kickers to the most experienced riders. Fueled by imagination, these great new BMW miniatures are fully assembled in large 1:10 scale and ready to go. They make a perfect display for desk or mantle, always ready to ride and race. Many models are available from the most current to some blasts from BMW's illustrious past!

The Boxer Engine Commemorative Key Fob is another excellent choice. BMW Motorrad USA offers a great gift idea for the dyed-in-the-wool BMW aficionado. This unique representation of a boxer engine includes a thumb wheel on the back that, when rotated, turns a small fly-wheel driving two captive pistons in miniature cut-away "cylinders"' and duplicating the motion of BMW's signature twin. A delightful treasure, constructed of high-quality copper and nickel silver, the mechanism is precision engineered and built by hand. The back is engraved "1923-2003" commemorating the 80th anniversary of the BMW Boxer engine. High quality gift box packaging is included. Get yours today!

BMW Motorrad USA offers two well designed soft luggage solutions ideally suited to a wide range of motorcycles. Choose a cavernous 51 Liter (54 quart) capacity bag; good for extended traveling or a week's worth of groceries, or a smaller 19 liter bag for a weekend getaway. Semi-rigid base and side panels help these bags keep their shape, even while riding at "speed". Both sizes feature outside pockets and handles; a carrying strap is included. The bags have versatile mounting options allowing them to attach to the seat and/or luggage rack of most BMW motorcycles. To get more information about these bags go to the Storage sub-menu under Gear.

If you are shopping for someone else and you just can't pick the perfect thing from the huge selection you find, you can choose a Gift Certificate from $25 to $500.
