What sidecar rig is in the Sprint Framily plan cellphone commercial?

There is a Sprint Framily plan cellphone commercial currently airing that shows a boxer twin sidecar rig belching smoke. Is it a Beemer? It looks old and the valve covers are black and flat. Those valve covers do not look BMW-ish.

Valve covers flat but finned & looked like silver or bare alu castings to me.
 
Yeah, looks like a Chang Jiang flattie. Russians copied the Germans, Chinese copied the Russians.
 
I'm remembering when the Chinese started copying the Delta power tools ~1970's and not so long after the tools were made there by Delta-on purpose. Watch for the "made in" label on future BMW's... like my "Rotax"?:laugh:laugh
 
The only time I've seen a rear tire smoke like that was at a Sturgis barbeque!
