Dear Readers,<br />
When the first edition of <strong>Mobile</strong> <strong>Tradition</strong> <strong>live</strong> landed on our desks hot off<br />
the press, we were admittedly a tiny bit proud. We had hoped for a little<br />
praise from you, but would never have dreamed of such a positive<br />
response. It has reinforced our commitment towards the continuing<br />
advancement of <strong>Mobile</strong> <strong>Tradition</strong> <strong>live</strong>.<br />
The last three months have been a very eventful time. Techno Classica,<br />
Europe’s premier classic car show, notably set the pulses of aficionados<br />
racing once again. On display at the <strong>BMW</strong> Group <strong>Mobile</strong> <strong>Tradition</strong> stand was a great deal of what<br />
makes up the fascination which this subject exerts on friends of the <strong>BMW</strong> brand. From our point of<br />
view, the primary aim was being able to communicate with you. Thus several discussion rounds<br />
provided an opportunity to talk about the key issues revolving around heritage cultivation. Particular<br />
attention was devoted to parts supply, which is, after all, one of the crucial components of classic<br />
model upkeep today and an area to which <strong>BMW</strong> Group <strong>Mobile</strong> <strong>Tradition</strong> is strongly committed.<br />
From our own experience of looking after our vehicle collection, we know only too well the indispensable<br />
role played by expertise and the availability of spare parts in safeguarding the enjoyment<br />
of historical models – reason enough to present this theme, starting on page 12, as the main focus<br />
of the current edition of <strong>Mobile</strong> <strong>Tradition</strong> <strong>live</strong>.<br />
We also have a special contribution lined up for our motorcycle devotees: a report on an adventurous<br />
trip from Germany to Iran on a 1950s <strong>BMW</strong> R 25/2. Get geared up for plenty of excitement along<br />
the way!<br />
Here’s wishing you a pleasant journey into the living past.<br />
Read and enjoy!<br />
