BMW Big Coffee Boxer for Your Boxer and Caffeine Fix
Here is another product that makes us wish we were Wall Street bankers. If you love BMW motorcycles and real coffee, the BMW Big Coffee Boxer covers both bases.
The espresso machine is based on BMW’s air- and oil-cooled R 18 boxer engine, and created through the partnership between BMW Motorrad and ECM Espresso Coffee Machines Manufacture GmbH.
The front of the power unit which faces your guests is exactly like the R 18 engine, while the black gold making part is mounted behind it. There are two independent water circulation systems for simultaneous preparation of coffee and milk foam, with pipes that mimic oil lines.
BMW says that the machine includes “an extremely quiet rotary pump and a shot counter with a display of the preparation time.” As such, there is no Boxer roar and sideways “kick” when your coffee brews.
The machine is priced at €7,900 (RM38,597.82, as of today) and you can find out more about the coffee machine at exclusive ECM dealers. Only 80 will ever be built.
By the way, the R 18 powerplant is an 1802cc horizontally-opposed twin (easier to call it a Boxer) which produces 89 hp of maximum power and 163 Nm of peak torque. It is the biggest Boxer ever made.
