Up for sale is my Pre-war 1937 BMW R35. This is a "TRUE" BMW R35 built before the war with the Waffant stamp on motor and frame. The Waffant stamp has the eagle and Swastika and confirms it was in military use. See photos in discription. 28 photos in the description.After World War II, BMW no longer made R35 motorcycles. "Eisenacher Motorenwerk" (EMW) was an East German manufacturer of automobiles and motorcycles based in Eisenach, then East Germany. It made R35s essentially identical to the pre-war BMW R35. One of the pre-World-War-II BMW factories was located in Eisenach, which after the war was taken over by the Soviets as it was located in the Soviet occupation zone. The factory continued producing cars and motorcycles using the BMW logo, but after a lawsuit in 1952 it had to change the name to EMW instead. The EMW logo was also similar, but instead of the blue BMW used, EMW used red.By the close of production, the R35 was the most successful model in BMW's motorcycle history and when you see the bikes today, it's easy to understand where the appeal liesI am thinning out my motorcycle collection and this is one bike that breaks my heart to sell.
