And another BMW more ....
This project starts with a BMW /5 to which we
give a little more personality, they are three 75/5 diferent models in the
garage and we need some fresh air ... or classic look.
We turn to the 70s and found the most complete transformation of the
time, a chassis /2 with a /5 engine, the final update, called /2 or R50 Conversion.
The most beautiful chassis of the BMW brand, with the possibility of
sidecar ride him and the best engine of the time, a 75/5.
That's when I find a bmw chassis / 2 parked for years in the workshop
Natxo Barral.
Hands and the first thing is to find the process of coupling the engine
and rear transmission assembly. We must change the swing arm and cardan. Not
easy words.
With Dr. Jalisco´s hands, he started to create this awesome machine...
We gradually dismantled it and started doing tests, cutting, welding, parts ... He spent a few months assembling, doing fine work ... and thanks to Daniel Gallar for the extra help...

The steering bearings, fork, the engine and transmission of the
"modern" / 5 is coupled to the chassis / 2.
A tank of an a 70s Spanish OSSA and Pagusa seat, close the classic line.
With pre-mounted bike, we choose the colors with inspiration the old 70s
submarines, similar colors than German warplanes.
A industrial gray and a dark overseas blue for tank and fenders.
Hand painted BMW vintage logo and the name on lettering: Submarine.
It's been short time from this construction and has already raced in the
Punks Peak at Wheels and Waves, in classic circuit races in Motorland GP and
you can see riding at night very, very fast if you are in Madrid...
