BMW Group



Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft commonly known as BMW or BMW AG was founded in 1916 as Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG (BFW) and originally produced aircraft engines. However, following the First World War and the production ban under the Versailles Armistice Treaty the company began manufacturing railway brakes and inboard engines. In 1923 BMW produced its first motorcycle the R 32 and in 1928 became a car manufacturer.




Based in Munich, Germany BMW Group is now one of the most successful car and motorcycle producers in the world. BMW Group includes the brands BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce and Husqvarna motorcycles. BMW Group has 28 manufacturing facilities in 13 countries as well as 12 research and innovation centres in 5 countries around the world. The company employs 110,351 people as of December 2013.

      Hi Rhiannon,
      Thank you!
      I agree they are such nice cars. But after looking at how much they cost I think I'll be sticking with my trusty old Ford for a while yet haha.
