Father's Day is approaching! If finding a gift for your dad or, on the contrary, giving ideas to your children can prove to be a real headache, we have a solution for all biker fathers, beemers and BMW motorcycle enthusiasts. Don't find yourself running out of ideas at the last moment and be sure to please your biker dad.

Find our guide and our advice to please a biker during this Father's Day 2023. With ideas for all budgets, find the perfect Father's Day gift.

1. A BMW t-shirt

We're starting with a classic Father's Day gift: the t-shirt. Perfect for all budgets but also for all tastes, a BMW t-shirt will satisfy any motorcycle enthusiast. But beware, not just any t-shirt will suit every biker! Of course, you have to select a t-shirt that matches the style of your motorcycle.

At BMW, there are 6 styles of motorcycle:

• Adventure: For GS and XR motorcycles, select a GS Adventure t-shirt;
• Heritage: For authentic boxer-style bikes such as the R18, choose a Heritage t-shirt;
• Roadster: For the perfect R bikes on the road and around town, grab a Roadster t-shirt;
• Sport: For RR sport bikes, select a Sport t-shirt;
• Touring: for road bikes like the RT or GT, wear a Touring t-shirt;
• Urban: For scooters, choose an Urban style t-shirt.

If you're unsure of the style of your biker dad's bike, don't worry! In this case, we advise you to opt for a t-shirt from a classic and more neutral collection, simply putting the BMW Motorrad brand in front, for example the Make Life a Ride collection or the Logo collection. Finally, if your dad isn't one to wear t-shirts, you can gift him a BMW shirt or polo shirt.

2. BMW motorcycle gloves

Obligatory on a motorcycle, gloves are an important element both of the safety of the motorcyclist but also of his style. While the gloves complement the gear outfit the pilot wears, they can also make a great Father's Day gift.

• The GS Rallye gloves: perfect for enduro riding or simply to go with the style of the GS, light but highly protective, they are made of high quality materials;
• The Tenda GTX 2-In-1 gloves: gloves suitable for sports driving as well as touring with two compartments, both waterproof and breathable;
• Leather motorcycle gloves for a Heritage style: protection, style and authenticity are guaranteed with these gloves;
• Urban gloves: ideal for sticking to the scooter or simply by preference for light but protective gloves.

If motorcycle gloves are a great gift for your biker father, think about seasonality and his needs: does your father have winter gloves but no summer gloves? Offering him the missing pair could delight him.

3. BMW motorcycle sneakers

Just like gloves, motorcycle boots and sneakers play a very important role in the safety of the motorcyclist. However, today we are far from the old motorcycle boots without style, there is a new kind of protection: motorcycle sneakers. Always protective but now lighter, flexible and versatile, motorcycle sneakers are part of the everyday life of motorcyclists and for any occasion.

Discover BMW's flagship motorcycle shoes:

• KnitLite sneakers: three colors to please everyone, flexible, light and protective motorcycle shoes;
• KnitRace sneakers: a sportier model in M Motorsport colours;
• Kawir GS sneakers: waterproof sneakers adapted to enduro thanks to the Gore-Tex membrane;
• The Seoul GTX sneakers: more discreet, more sober and more versatile, available in two colors (black and white) to match the biker's outfit.

Motorcycle shoes can also be a good compromise for a motorcyclist who does not like boots so much, who uses the motorcycle to go to the office or who walks a lot during the day. If, on the contrary, your father does not like sneakers, discover BMW motorcycle boots.

Bonus gift idea related to boots and sneakers: BMW functional socks.

4. A BMW helmet intercom

Is your dad more of a high tech type? We have the perfect gift: a BMW communication system. To be at the cutting edge of motorcycle technology, there is no better! Above all, if your father is the type to like motorcycle rides with others, this is the perfect accessory for him.

What are the strengths of a motorcycle intercom?

• Listening to music: connected by Bluetooth to a smartphone, the intercom allows you to listen to music and navigate through playlists;
• Route tracking: whether by GPS or smartphone, Bluetooth also makes it possible to follow route indications via the communication system;
• Discussion with the passenger and other motorcyclists: with two connection options (Bluetooth and Mesh 2.0), the intercom makes it easy to chat with the passenger or another motorcyclist thanks to a large range;
• Taking calls: thanks to the navigation buttons, the intercom allows you to answer incoming calls, working like a hands-free kit.

Very easy to use, the BMW intercom is easily suitable for any motorcyclist, and any helmet since there are several models adapted to the brand's different helmets. Universal models are also available.

5. A BMW cap

Like t-shirts, caps are a great Father's Day gift for a BMW biker. Accessible to all and available in several shapes and colors, a cap can only please your biker father!

Once again, there are many BMW caps broken down by style, either:

• Adventure caps: for GS and XR bikers;
• Heritage caps: for motorcyclists with a classic boxer engine;
• Sport caps: for motorcyclists who are passionate about speed, in Motorsport colours;
• Roadster caps: for everyday and touring bikers;
• Touring caps: for road racers;
• Finally, the Urban caps: for scooters and the city.

If there is something for everyone, it is however possible that your father is not the type to wear a cap or a t-shirt. In this case, do not hesitate to take a look at the BMW lifestyle clothing catalog, you will certainly find something to delight your dad for his birthday.

Are you still hesitating? You can also offer a gift card for this Father's Day. For the amount of your selection, the gift card allows your father to obtain the BMW accessory or equipment of his choice, without the risk of getting the wrong size or style.
