In previous article I slightly mentioned one of the oldest and one of the most famous German car-makers, which I would like to write about – it is BMW. Due I am a MINI-owner, I was always keen on BMW issue and its history! So, this article is not an advertisement; that is just what I find interesting and entertaining.
The company was founded in 1916: on the 7th of March the company celebrated its 100th birthday! Many years ago the company started with aircraft production first, only then (after the Treaty of Versailles) it shifted to motorcycle and car production. Since 1916 BMW has become a world-known car-manufacturer, which has also a history of success in Grand Prix running, Dakar Rally, Formula One, in touring car racing, etc.
