Looking back at 2012 BMW had a big year. With new cars launched such as the M6, hybrid 5 Series, revised 7 Series and of course the gorgeous 6 Series Gran Coupe, it was a banner year for the top-end of the brand. But the bread and butter was also completely redesigned and launched; the 3 Series sedan and touring. Finally there’s the M135i and the debut of the M Performance Line.

BimmerFile First Ride: 2013 BMW C 600 Sport
Let’s keep this simple. The BMW C 600 Sport is a midsize sport motorcycle in a scooter form factor. Yet this split personality is no Jeckyll & Hyde dichotomy at odds with its identity. Instead, these two symbiotic aspects of the C 600 Sport’s character are what make this cross-bred two wheeler remarkable. By purposefully blending segment-leading performance with scooter convenience, BMW has done a cannonball into the maxi scooter market pool.
