“Even more riding fun – that was our goal when revising the BMW R 18 and R 18 Classic. We have refined the design style, added numerous improvements in terms of detail and comfort and made the R 18 even more fun to ride with the 18-inch rear wheel. In addition to new finishes and equipment, the BMW R 18 Roctane, R 18 B and R 18 Transcontinental have also undergone a technical revision to bring the entire BMW R 18 range into line with the EU 5+ standard.” Markus Lederer, Head of Boxer Series

Bowker BMW Sales Executive Prepares for 100km Sahara Trek to Support Breast Cancer Charity
A Bowker BMW Car Sales Executive from Broughton is gearing up for a 100km trek across the Sahara Desert in Morocco in November 2025 to raise funds for CoppaFeel!, a breast cancer awareness charity.
Alison Prowse, who overcame stage 3 breast cancer after her diagnosis in 2020, is undertaking the challenge to mark the five-year anniversary of her diagnosis. The trek involves five days of walking through Morocco’s deserts, valleys, and gorges, culminating in camping under the stars with fellow participants.
Alison hopes to raise £3,000 for CoppaFeel! to support its mission of encouraging early detection of breast cancer in young people.
