BMW Motorcycles of Birmingham was a motorcycle dealership at 7500 Crestwood Boulevard.

James and Susan Abrahamson opened the showroom in September 2011 in the former Sears Auto Center at the vacant Century Plaza. Jim Lewis served as general manager. When the business was announced, it was hoped that it would serve as an anchor for redevelopment of the area.

In 2013 Lewis began negotiating with USS Real Estate to move to a new, larger showroom near Barber Motorsports Park, but that move never took place. Instead, the dealership was acquired by Big #1 Motorsports in 2015.
