BMW

BMW began on 7 March 1916 in Munich when Bayerische Flugzeugwerke built its first aircraft engine and later renamed itself Bayerische Motoren Werke in 1922. The company has always held a singular focus on performance and innovation, evolving from radial engines to the “Ultimate Driving Machine” reputation it carries today. Today the BMW Group encompasses four brands—BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce, and BMW Motorrad—making it one of the world’s leading premium suppliers of cars, motorcycles, and mobility services. Enthusiasts praise BMW for delivering an unmatched driving experience through precise steering, balanced chassis dynamics, and powerful engines. The modern lineup stretches from the city-friendly 1 Series and 2 Series through executive sedans like the 3 Series and 5 Series, large SUVs such as the X5 and X7, and high-performance M models that push engineering to the limit. At the same time the i Series of electric vehicles, including the i4, iX, and flagship i7, showcases BMW’s commitment to sustainable performance and innovative power electronics. Headquartered at Petuelring 130 in Munich, BMW reports to a global network of over 160 subsidiaries and maintains design and development centers around the world. In 2023 BMW delivered a record 2,253,835 vehicles to customers worldwide, underlining its status as the leading premium carmaker by volume. Recent breakthroughs such as the “Heart of Joy” integrated ECU continue to refine traction and control, ensuring that every BMW feels taut, responsive, and alive on the road.
