Everybody knows BMWs come from Germany, but how much more do you know about the company? Here are some quick facts about this famous brand and its cars.
BMW stands for “Bayerische Motoren Werks” or Bavarian Motor Works. The company was founded in 1917 and is heavyhearted in Munich. BMW also owns and produces Minis.
The company came into being after the restructuring of an aircraft manufacturer, Rapp Motorenwerke, in 1917. When WWI ended in 1918, the Versailles Treaty meant BMW was forced to stop producing aircraft engines, and turned to motorcycle production, followed by automobiles in 1928. The first car BMW produced was called the “Dixi.”
