100 years of anything is an important thing to celebrate. It’s a nice, round number, and it looks cool if you get balloons in the shape of the numerals, but there’s more to it than that. A lot of things, people, and places don’t make it that far—so it’s hard not to feel a sense of occasion when you hit that century mark.
Take BMW, which will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the original R 32 next year, in 2023. We may only be on its 99th year here in 2022, at the time of writing—but that’s nothing to sneeze at, either.
