2019 BMW Motorcycles & Maxi Scooters

BMW Motorrad has released information about its 2019 updates for both its motorcycles and maxi scooters, which will be available for order starting in August.

The changes aren’t drastic, but BMW has highlighted two significant updates to turn indicators and the BMW Motorrad Connectivity app.

The new “comfort turn indicators” that automatically shut off were redesigned for better usability, and will be included on all 2019 models except the C 650 Sport, C 650 GT, G 310 GS, G 310 R, F 800 R, F 800 GT, S 1000 RR and S 1000 R.

The BMW Motorrad Connected app has also received an updated. The digital maps will be completely revised and will be based on the motorcycle optimized navigation by TomTom. As one of the most requested features, the navigation option “winding route” will be introduced. To use the new functions, the customer only needs to update the app in the beginning of August and download the new maps free of charge before starting the next ride.
