This rare BMW Q.3S folding mountain bike is a must-have for any avid cyclist. Its sleek design and sturdy construction make it ideal for both off-road adventures and daily commutes. With a 2003 OEM model year, this bike is a classic that has stood the test of time. The 26 inch wheels and mountain bike frame provide superior handling and stability on any terrain. The brand name BMW is synonymous with quality and luxury, and this bike is no exception. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, the BMW Q.3S is sure to exceed your expectations. Brake and shift cables replaced along with the derailer. Recently tuned up so rides well. A rapid-action catch and folding joint lets riders quickly fold and store Q bikes in most car trunks, airline luggage and carrier bags, with the cables protected inside the frame. Their portability makes the Q Bike ideal for the commute to work and school. BMW took its motorcycle design technology featuring Telelever suspension and applied it to create the Q6.S model, providing comfort and stability on rough terrain, limiting the compression of the front suspension for stable braking and virtually eliminating "front-end dive" or other mishaps. The 27-speed bike also features Shimano XTR components. A Rapid Fire gearshift, which provides a quick, precise change in riding with three gears in the front and nine gears in the rear, and a full suspension round out the Q6.S for an adventure built for biking enthusiasts. The Q6.S weighs under 29 pounds. Designed solely for the U.S. market, the 24-speed Q3.S also offers a smooth ride through traffic and trails, with a suspension that minimizes vibrations, unwanted torsions and pedaling energy. Its front suspension also prevents "front-end dive" and its frame features Shimano Alivo components, with a powerful Rapid Fire gearshift that features three gears in the front and eight in the rear. The Q3.S weighs 32 pounds. Suggested retail price for the BMW Q6.S is $3,995 and $995 for the BMW Q3.S. Cables on both silver models are contained inside, protecting them from possible damage and making them easier to travel with. Each model comes in 18 and 20-inch frames. BMW offers a carrying bag that fits both models, and allows for over-the-shoulder carrying of folded bikes. **PLEASE NOTE*** I'm not a collector or expert so please see all photos for condition and let me know if you have any questions or need any more photographs.
