The tradition of BMW

BMW looks back on a long history, which began in 1916 when it was founded as Bayerische Flugzeugwerke and the manufacturer initially specialized in aircraft engines. After the First World War, the company diversified and entered the market in 1923 with the R 32 motorcycle. In 1928, BMW took over the Eisenach vehicle factory and introduced the first car, the “Dixi”. The iconic radiator grille, the so-called “kidney” design, first appeared on the BMW 303 in 1933. With the introduction of modern series, BMW quickly became the epitome of sporty sedans. Over the decades, the company has established itself as an innovation leader in the automotive industry and today produces in over 30 plants on four continents.
