The BMW MOA launched its digital edition in 2009, and plans some major improvements in 2012.

More than two years of digital archives of the magazine, with plans to go back at least ten more years. All available to BMW MOA members.

Look for articles by rolling through thumbnails of pages if you like.

The other day I received an e-mail from a member who asked me, "Why don't WE have a digital edition of the BMW Owners News?"

My response was simple: "We do! We launched it in 2009... "

I guess it's my fault. I haven't been bragging about it in my monthly columns, so many of you still don't realize we have such a thing - a digital edition for you to enjoy. But we do. And it's growing.

Features include:

- With a touch you can zoom in to see the smallest details.

- Search all our content, easily.

- Jump instantly to a highlighted linked Web site, advertisers, whatever you want and then back to the article.

We post on the first of each month, each and every month - that's twelve months a year. Every month a fresh copy of the BMW ON however you want to read it. Twelve times a year.

Back issues aren't for sale, because they are free to members.

No need to go to the App Store. No need to go to any store.

And the BMW Owners News Digital Edition works on ipads, iphones, smart phones, your laptop, your other tablet, and so on and so forth.

Remember a membership in the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America offers many benefits: the annual Anonymous Book, mileage award programs, various discounts, the Platinum Cycle Upgrade, chartered clubs, special Weekend Getaways, unique trips with well-known tour companies, this Web site, and of course the monthly magazine BMW Owners News.

But you have to be a member, for these benefits. Including the magazine.
