In a nutshell, BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke, or simply Bavarian
Motor Works, and it is a world-renowned manufacturer of motorcycles,
four-wheeled cars as well as airplane engines. BMW initially started as an
engine-focused company that studied and tried to enhance the performance of
engines as we all know them - slowly but surely, the company moved from basic
motorcycle engines to airplane engines that would revolutionise air transport.
It was not until the late 1940s when BMW was back on track and it
re-started its production of motorcycles and automobiles: BMW started to focus
more on automobiles rather than motorcycles, given the high demand for
four-wheeled cars. Most Important Milestones For BMW
The second most important milestone was the manufacturing of the first
motorcycle carrying the BMW logo, the famous BMW R32, which took place in 1923.
As mentioned above, BMW stopped manufacturing automobiles and motorcycles
during WWII, and the first BMW automobile (the 501 model) was manufactured in
1951, which also marked the beginning of new and promising era for this
automobile manufacturer.
In 1972, the BMW Motorsport GmbH was founded, and one year later, so was
the renowned BMW museum along with the company's headquarters. Four years
later, Rolls-Royce would come to the company, and one year after that the first
automobile of the BMW X-series was manufactured. BMW Outside Of Germany
BMW opened its first manufacturing plant in South Africa back in the 1970s,
and it quickly became one of the company's pillars, with tens of thousands of
automobiles manufactured each year.
