the only BMW boat in history



A friend of mine, Felipe Garcia, heard a story of a boat made by BMW some decades ago. he tracked it down and after some search he finally found it, restored it to it's past glory and now he is the proud owner of the only boat BMW ever made, and if that wasn't exclusive enough, the boat has a 507 engine . talking about being a BMW enthusiast.. he is also one of the founders of the BMW club of Colombia. just thought I should share, made a quick search and no results so hopefully this isn't a repost.

I think they are different, this being a little more special having the steering wheel, the grilles and other parts from a 507 which seems to have been supplied by BMW themselves. still, I don't know much on the matter but the speedboat itself is a master piece and a beauty to behold.

They're definitely different. Dackelone and I were just pointing out that this isn't the only BMW powered boat in existence.

I do love the look of the example you posted. It's a special vessel, no doubt.
