The bike was presented in September 2014 at the Intermot.[1][2] The road-oriented allrounder is equipped with a boxer engine and assembled at the BMW plant in Berlin. Production began on 9 February 2015 and was launched on 12 May 2015[3] at a base price of EUR 13,500.[4] The internal factory code is K54.
