Designing the newest and most cutting edge BMW motorcycles. Take a listen!
Ever since my passion for BMW Motorrad began, I’ve had an insatiable desire to understand the inner workings of the company. Throughout the years, I’ve tried to piece together the journey that each motorcycle takes from concept to reality. Some of these steps are of course highly confidential, and therefore very difficult for outsiders to fully visualize. So it was very exciting for my producer Louise Powers and I to be invited to the BMW Motorrad Design...

When you’re producing an audio documentary about sustainability and BMW, there’s no avoiding the topics of RE:THINK, RE:DUCE, RE:USE, and RE:CYCLE. These are the four principles of the circular economy and, as such, also form the core elements of this audio documentary. The circular economy’s aim is that existing materials and products are maintained, recycled, repaired and shared for as long as possible. Anne Therese wants to dive deeper into how this works and how close – or how far away – BMW already is to the goal of a circular...
