After careful consideration we have taken the difficult decision to consolidate our position with BMW Motorrad and close our Maidenhead location to concentrate our activities from our Alton site. We are very grateful to our customers and brilliant team for joining us on this journey, without which we wouldn’t have achieved all the things we have.

Bahnstormer took on the Thames Valley area for BMW Motorrad in 2009 from our initial site at the Quadring Garage in Bracknell before moving to our permanent home at 71-73 Furze Plate Road in 2012. Since then, we’ve hosted events with Charley Boorman, live bands, racers and celebrities whilst meeting so many lovely customers. We are now at the end of our lease and the economic backdrop has changed for operating the business out of this location. BMW Motorrad have exciting plans moving forwards that will require significant investment in premises and systems and this therefore feels like the right time to adjust our plans to continue providing the best experience for our customers.

If you have placed orders for motorcycles or have booked a service at our Maidenhead site, you will be contacted shortly to work with you to look after you from Bahnstormer Alton. Rest assured, Bahnstormer Alton and Maidenhead are one legal entity, so we anticipate a smooth transition, maintaining our high levels of service at all times.

The other companies in the Bahnstormer Group of Bahnstormer Alton, Motoline and Veloline remain unaffected, so if you have any queries or need help with anything, please contact us on rsvp@bahnstormer.co.uk or call 01420 587007 and we’ll assist you from there.
