Quote What will BMW motorcycles look like 50 years from now? 100 years? Will it fly, will it travel underwater? Will it run on alternative fuel, or generate power? Share your ideas using LEGO Technic by building your futuristic BMW motorcycle. One lucky grand prize winner will win a trip to BMW Motorrad Days in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, July 7-9th 2017! https://www.lego.com/en-us/rebrick/contest-page/contests/technic-bmw Quote
Saberwing40k Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks for the heads up. Now, what should I make? I'm a little bit disappointed in the choice of contest, but there ain't a whole lot to do. Thing is, how do you define "Motorcycle"? Maybe in 100 years, the line between motorcycle and car is rather blurred. Quote
Jurss Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 As somehow indpiration has lost for TC in some halfway of building, I will try this BMW. As I will have vacations in the begiining of april, maybe I'll find inspiration for both. Hope so ... Quote
Attika Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I like that the contest description leaves a lot of freedom by the lack of limitations. Expecting very different approaches to see by the deadline coming. I'm being not a competitive type person, still if an idea turns up I may participate in this. Also had a thought that made me smile: While I was thinkering on how a future bike should look like, Sariel's TRON Light Cycle came up in my mind. It does fulfil all the given criterias. Doesn't it? Futuristic? Check. BMW color scheme? Check. So probably he has won the contest before it was anounced. (don't go too hard on this, I wrote this for fun only ) Quote
TheMindGarage Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 If I have time (currently building something), I might enter. I have some rather interesting ideas - the real test will be whether I manage to pull it off within the deadline... Quote
Meatman Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 What ever happened to the person who won the last futuristic contest? Weren't they supposed to have a set made of their model? Quote

I'll try to enter this, I just don't have many ideas... Quote
The_Icestorm Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I hope to enter this challenge, if I have the time, and after I finish my current MINDSTORMS project (as it contains almost all my TECHNIC pieces). I hope we can use Power Functions and/or MINDSTORMS in the model, I would like to make a motorised model. Quote
Jurss Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I've built allready rear axle with cardan, like it is used by BMW. I'm just thinking about possible future. BMW allready have their vison, prototype. Great vison. They also made real model (not flying) of LEGO B-model hoverbike. So it will be pretty hard to come out with some special idea. I'm afraid, that winner will be just something good (very futuristic) looking. In fact, there are allready 2 entries - both hoverbikes. I'm planning to stay on the ground, becauses that's the idea of motorbike, in my opinion. Quote
Alex Ilea Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I have a very solid idea of what i want to build but if very very hard to do . Wish me luck :) Quote
