    • Hobbies

Join us behind closed doors in the south of France at the Autodrome de Miramas – BMW’s proving ground – where the bikes and cars we’re going to be riding and driving in the future are put through intensive test cycles.

Around 180 BMW bikes are taken to the limits here every year – on test benches and on a variety of specially-built roads, racetracks and handling circuits, with a staggering 3 million kilometres covered in total.

We speak to the experts, who are literally living their lives in the future, about the work going on behind the scenes to bring us products and innovations that not only increase our riding pleasure, but our safety too.
