BMW Unscripted Tiffany Coates

BMW Unscripted: Tiffany Coates – Click above to watch video after the jump

The last time we heard from BMW Unscripted, an ancient 5 Series was stalking the tall grass of South Africa in search of meerkats. Now the company has turned its attention to Tiffany Coates and her BMW R80GS. The duo have traversed the globe together, ranging over five continents and covering untold miles in the process. For Coates, no country or region is off limits, and she’s spent time everywhere from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Alaska and Australia. Her travel is impressive, without a doubt, though we’re more taken with the perspective that her gallivanting has given her.

“People always assume that the world is full of dangerous places, and they think, and they say as well, that I’m mad to go travelling where I do. I always replay, ‘but, 99.9 percent of people in the world are really nice, decent people like you and I.'”

We can think of a few politicians that could use some time in the saddle of an R80GS. Hit the jump to have a look at a slice of Coates’ life on the road, and remember not to let your fear rule you, people. There’s a whole world out there just waiting to meet you.

1969 BMW 2800 CS

Murray Fowler’s 1969 BMW 2800 CS – Click above to watch video after the jump

As much as we adore vintage iron, we love the people responsible for keeping them around even more. You’ll never find a more dedicated sample of humanity than those prowling local swap meets and cruise-ins, each nearly guaranteed to boast a tale or two of how they came to be infatuated with the make or model of their choice. BMW has recently decided to tap into that wealth of unparalleled brand loyalty with a new video series that the company is calling “BMW Unscripted.” The episode after the jump focuses on one very smitten owner and the immaculate 1969 2800 CS he bought new over 40 years ago.

Murray Fowler was 40 years old when he drove his 2800 CS for the first time, and over the years, the guy has racked up a dizzying number of miles on the clock – a total of about 413,000 at the time that the video was recorded. This isn’t some garage queen locked away from the temptation of beautiful Southern California roads. Oh, no – this is the real deal. Hit the jump to take a look at the flick for yourself.
