Beyond Brute Power: How Deus Ex Machina Culture Meets BMW's Electric Future

Deus Ex Machina has always been more than just a brand; it’s a global state of mind. Since its Australian genesis, it has effortlessly blended the roar of custom motorcycles with the chill of surf culture, a hit of rich coffee, and an appreciation for pure design. Deus didn't just sell bikes and apparel—it sold an effortlessly cool lifestyle, one defined by artistic freedom, craftsmanship, and the mantra of "doing something is more fun than just owning something."

This iconic movement fundamentally reshaped motorcycle culture, proving that two wheels, a surfboard rack, and an appreciation for art could all coexist.

Electrification: A Cultural Reckoning for Two Wheels

However, even icons must evolve. The global shift toward electrification is reshaping how we move, and the world of motorcycles is no exception. This new era is moving away from the brute power of large combustion engines and towards practicality, accessibility, and urban personality. Bikes are becoming smaller, quieter, and more focused on the daily grind than the open road.

This is precisely where BMW Motorrad steps in with its latest creation: the CE 02.

The eParkourer: BMW’s Answer to the TikTok Generation

BMW Motorrad designed the CE 02 for the "TikTok and Instagram generation"—riders who prioritize agile urban maneuverability and style over traditional, heavy horsepower. BMW is calling it an "eParkourer," a term that might initially sound a bit unusual but is perfectly fitting.

The CE 02 intentionally resists easy categorization. It is neither a traditional scooter nor a full-fledged motorcycle. Instead, it exists in its own niche—a lightweight, playful, electric machine designed to weave, jump, and flow through the urban landscape with ease. Its low seat height (29.5 inches), feather-light construction (starting from 291 lbs), and large 14-inch wheels give it a playful, almost BMX-like demeanor.

Just as Deus Ex Machina once redefined moto culture by injecting it with surf and art, the CE 02 is redefining the urban commuter. It’s a machine designed not just for transportation, but for individual expression and the sheer, unadulterated fun of getting around—a spirit that resonates deeply with the core philosophy of "God from the Machine." The era of electrification is making two wheels less about the engine and more about the adventure, and the CE 02 is leading the charge.

Facelift For Bavarian Police Force BMW Vehicles

For the better part of 20 years, Bavarian police cars were manufactured with silver BMW 3 series vehicles. Prior to the silver color scheme, these vehicles sported a white base coat. Recently, the Bavarian government has decided to revamp their BMW police vehicles in terms of a color scheme. The new color scheme draws inspiration from the nostalgic white base coat used prior to 2003.  Modeled after their previously utilized retro white, blue, and yellow color scheme, new Bavarian BMW police vehicles have gone back to their roots by shedding the apparently outdated silver and green paint job. All new Bavarian police vehicle will be manufactured from BMW 3 Series Touring models with the new color scheme. This shift comes primarily from BMW's discontinuation of the Glacier Silver base color for the 3 series, but a higher resale value for white vehicles might also be a variable.  In contrast to the prior white Bavarian police BMWs, the new vehicles will be manufactured with a Mine...

2022 BMW X5 M Render Revealed

Based on recent spy photos of the new 2022 BMW X5 M model, a concept artist has rendered a very realistic, and potentially accurate, rendition of the vehicle changes. Although the exterior changes are minor compared to the 2021 model, the rendering shows updated headlights, a redesigned lower front end, and an added lip on the competition model.  In comparison, the majority of changes are reserved for the interior of the vehicle, and these updates include larger screens and a seamless curvature inspired design.
