About BMW

BMW – Bayerische Motoren Werke – was founded in Munich in 1916 as a maker of aircraft engines; the blue-and-white roundel uses the colours of Bavaria. BMW built its first motorcycle in 1923 and its first car, the 3/15, in 1929, after buying the Eisenach car works.

BMW is known for rear-wheel-drive sports sedans such as the 5 Series (since 1972) and the 3 Series (since 1975), for its straight-six engines, for the M performance models that began with the M1 and the M3, and for the X range of SUVs and the electric i models. The BMW Group also owns MINI and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
