BMW choppers book drops
A new book highlighting custom chopper builds on BMW platforms — alongside cruisers, bobbers, trikes and quads — was promoted on X on March 16, 2026, pitching BMWs as an unexpected canvas for handbuilt creativity post. The promo targets builders who like mixing marque engineering with one‑off styling — low engagement so far (18 views), which could mean a sleeper resource for custom inspiration post.
