At the end of 1954, BMW undertook a major overhaul of its horizontally-opposed twin-cylinder range, replacing the R51/3, R67/2, and R68 with the new R60 and R69 models
While the engines remained broadly similar, the most significant advances were found in the chassis, which now featured the innovative Earles-type leading-link front fork and a swinging-arm rear suspension - a layout particularly well suited to sidecar use
