About this model
About the Bmw R 35
The BMW R 35 is a pre-war German motorcycle produced by BMW Motorenwerke from 1937 to 1940. Its 343 cc single-cylinder side-valve four-stroke engine produces 14 hp, channelled through a hand-operated four-speed gearbox. Weighing approximately 150 kg dry, the R 35 was reliable and uncomplicated by the standards of its era. It served both civilian riders and the German Wehrmacht, making it one of the most common BMW singles of the late 1930s.
Today the R 35 is a collector's piece aimed exclusively at vintage motorcycle enthusiasts. Riding one requires hands-on mechanical knowledge: carburettor tuning, manual oiling, and the complete absence of modern rider aids demand respect. For anyone seeking an authentic, rideable piece of pre-war BMW heritage at a relatively accessible price point, the R 35 remains a rewarding machine.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the base gasket at the cylinder for oil seeping; gaskets dry out after decades of storage
- Inspect the hand-change gearbox mechanism for wear; incorrect shifting without a synchromesh causes rapid deterioration
- Look for cracks or stress fractures in the original frame around the engine mounts
- Ask about provenance; post-war or Soviet military variants may carry non-original parts that are difficult to source
- Verify the 6 V electrical system is still intact and not crudely patched with incompatible modern components
