Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, or BMW (Bavarian Motor Works in English), is an automobile, engine, and motorcycle manufacturer based in Germany. Recognized for its luxurious performance vehicles, BMW began in 1916 and also owns the MINI and Rolls-Royce brands of vehicles. Originally the maker of aircraft engines, BMW turned to motorcycle manufacturing in 1923 and automobile production in the later 1920s. BMW began establishing a reputation as a performance-vehicle company thanks to its seamless blend of sports performance and luxury. |
BMW vehicles even earned a nickname, “Bimmers,” from their devout following of driving enthusiasts. The company introduced its three-tier range of sport sedans in the 1970s: the 3 Series, 5 Series, and the flagship 7 Series. The high-performance M model of vehicles also debuted at this time. Currently, BMW continues to expand its global reach and diversify its model lineup. BMW now offers everything from family-oriented wagons to high-performance coupes. |
