The unknown facts about Founding
BMW was founded on March 7,
1916, originally as a manufacturer of aircraft engines. The company was initially named Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) before being renamed Bayerische Motoren Werke in 1922.
2. Aircraft Engine Origins
BMW's early success came from building high-performance aircraft engines. The iconic blue and white logo represents the spinning
propeller of an aircraft against a blue sky and is inspired by the Bavarian flag.
3. Transition to Motorcycles (1923) After the Treaty of Versailles
restricted Germany's aircraft
production post-World War I, BMW
shifted to manufacturing motorcycles. The first motorcycle,
the BMW R32, was launched in
1923 and featured a flat-twin boxer engine, a design still in use today. 4. Entry into Automobiles (1928) BMW entered the automobile market by acquiring the Eisenach factory, which produced the small
Dixi.
