With a capital letter. Stylish, safe, powerful, comfortable and bright. List of adjectives can be continued for a long time. But among them there will be no cheap and simple. Plants have BMW a lot, branches where cars are going, even more. Is there a "BMW" not German assembly? After all latest models They are going even in Russia. Let's figure it out in this matter. Be sure to recall the history of the company, from which everything began, the model range, features and, of course, the place of assembly.
The main power "BMW"
All major production facilities are located in Germany at BMW. Country Manufacturer Car famous brandOf course, also Germany. But only if they are made at factories in Munich, Regensburg, Dingolfing or Leipzig. Indeed, today BMW also gather in India, Thailand, China, Egypt, USA, South African Republic and Russia. In total there are 22 non-German enterprises "BMW".
The default assembly quality is determined by the main country-producer - Germany. What is being taken to keep the originality of the assembly?
1. Cars in BMW branches are made from finished nodes supplied directly from Germany plants.
2. Permanent quality control of auto assembly, qualification qualifications from the center.
3. Regular improvement of the qualifications of employees of branches.
Little excursion in the history of the BMW brand
The beginning was laid in the early 20s of the last century. 1913 is considered a year of foundation, and in 1917 the company was recorded - aircraft engines. Yes, BMW originally had a slightly different profile than today's. War period left his mark. But after the end of war production aviation engines It was forbidden.
To somehow survive, the management of the company decided to release motorcycles. Since 1923, BMW has been producing light motorcycles. There was a moment when the motorcycles were also banned, and the plants were interrupted on bicycles and tools. However, difficult times are still ends. Since 1948, BMW continues to release motorcycles, and from 1951 the first post-war BMW 501 car comes out.
From the end of the 50s, the company "BMW", the manufacturer of which is Germany, goes to the production of sports cars. Actively participating in races, BMW products occupy prizes, thereby increasing her fame. In 1975, the development of the 3rd BMW family - E21 begins.
How to figure out BMW models
For almost 100 years of development of the company, a huge number of cars were developed and issued. Only one of the so-called families of BMW numbers 9. Among them are the most popular and numerous:
- 3rd series;
- 5th series;
- 7th series;
- X-series.
In each family, cars are divided into bodies. For example, in the 3rd series, the first model in 1975 was E21. And only in 1982 he was changed by the body E30. To be more clear, consider the model E21 with the designation 320i. Here 3 is a family number or series; 20 is a 2.0-liter engine volume, and the letter "I" denotes the fuel injection engine. 320 has only a carburetor engine, most often the firm "Solex".
The stylistic features of the models most often only be distinguished by professionals, so it is recommended to watch documents to fully identify the car "BMW". Vin cars gives all the necessary information on the model, engine, and also opens access to component details in original catalogs. What "BMW", which country-producer - on these and other issues will be available in the documents and under the hood of the car.
Separate representatives are the machines of the series Z and M. These families have their own special numbering and identification, due to their special production. The TECHNIK branch is engaged in the development of prototypes, and the Motorsport compartment products are labeled. There is also an American enterprise BMW and the two models released by the Model coupe L7 and L6. Externally, they can be confused with the 7th suite in 23 body. However, this is the 6th series models, with a lot of additional optionsreleased specifically for domestic market USA.

Conclusion
The history of the company "BMW" shows that with due effort and desire to achieve new results, gives its "fruits". Several times, this firm was on the verge of bankruptcy, but every time he bloomed. Today BMW is one of the most famous and successful car manufacturers all over the world. Only Toyota besides the neo can boast such a fact as the permanent annual increase in profits.
Country-producer of cars "BMW" originally Germany. At the same time, the quality and reliability of cars produced by subsidiaries remain at the same high level.
For motorists BMW - a dream car, for competitors - quality plank. Today, Bayerische Motoren Werke products are associated strictly with cars and German reliability. It knows little that for BMW began with aircraft engines and brakes for trains.
In 1998, the Vickers Concern sold the right to the Bavarians brand Rolls-Royce, despite the fact that Volkswagen offered 90 million dollars more. Such confidence does not arise from scratch, and the company's history confirms this thesis in full.
History BMW.
Airplanes and trains
Brothers Wright made their famous flight in 1903, and after only 10 years, the demand for airplanes was so high that the aircraft company seems profitable even for conservative Germans. The future owners of the Bavarian Motor Plants open enterprises in close proximity. Plant Gustav Otto (the son of Nicolaus August Oveto, known in the invention of the gas four-stroke engine of internal combustion), adjacent on the outskirts of Munich with the enterprise Karl Rappa. About Competition Speech is not coming: the first collects airplanes, the second - engines.
The First World War becomes for companies an inexhaustible source of income and enterprises are combined. Officially, the date of registration of Bayerische Motoren Werke is considered July 1917, but by this time the RAPU left the company. An attempt to digest received in 1916 a large order for the production of V12 for the Army of Austria-Hungary was the cause of both mergers and an unstable financial situation. Rappa in his post replaced Franz Joseph PPP from the same Austria-Hungary. In 1918, the company receives the status of AG (Joint Stock Company).
In September 1917, the history of the logo begins. First emblem BMW. was a propeller against the sky. The owners of the company did not suit the option and later the propeller was stylized to four sectors painted in two colors. According to another version, the cross and white sectors were interpreted by marketers as a propeller only for convenience, and with a propeller are not connected. Blue and white colors taken from the flag of Bavaria. Finally, the logo is approved in 1929 and practically not subjected to changes in the future. The volume emblem has become in 2000.
In 1919, airplane with the BMW engine conquers height of 9760 meters. The author of the record is Franz Dimmer. The achievement was one of the few reasons for joy, because the construction of aircraft in Germany was prohibited by the Versailles. Some time, Otto plants produce brakes for trains.
From motorcycle to bike
The minor points of the Versailles in Germany very quickly ceased to pay attention. Today it is no longer a secret that at the beginning of the 30s the company supplied aviation motors for the USSR. BMW engines are involved in one aviation record after another. Only in 1927 the company turned out to be involved in 27 such achievements. However, at this point, motorcycles are the main direction of production.
The first motorcycle history of the BMW brand is replenished in 1923. R32 easily conquers popularity and at the exhibition of the same year in Paris will be presented as one of the most. Motor rates of the 20s and 30s confirm high speed and reliability of BMW products.
The fastest motorcyclist of the world became Ernst Henne in 1929. The record is applied on the BMW technique. Year earlier construction car factory In Aisenach, the first Bavarian car appears on the light - DIXI. From this year the story of BMW machines begins.
The Second World War destroyed the German industry. In addition, the allies imposed a limit on the volume of engines. The maximum in 250 cm 3 is not allowed to develop. Attempts to restore the release of motors with a concern in the final impasse.
The history of the factory BMW could end in this place, because it was about demolishing the building by the Americans, and the company itself was going to absorb Mercedes-Benz. The world would never have learned the legendary Z8, but the difficulties managed to overcome due to the production of bicycles and utility techniques. The company has passed on the verge of collapse, but the first motorcycle released after the war bought no worse than the pre-war samples.
R24 was built on the basis previous modelsBut he had a single-cylinder engine, the finishing fit into the limitation superimposed on the volume. Low price and still high quality determined success. R24 released in 1948, and already in 1951, 18 thousand units of equipment took off the conveyor.
Cars
Attempts to produce comfortable cars after the war end fails, it is necessary to navigate to the working class. The company does not hesitate even supplies to the USSR sedana BMW. 340 (pre-war BMW 326). However, after several years of crisis, the history of the concern again begins to take the achievements.
- 1951 Based on the model 340, the first post-war car is going to 501. An important model for the development of BMW.
- 1954-74 The company's cars hold first place in motorcycles with wheelchairs.
- 1955 comes from the conveyor first Isetta. The company is focused on the middle class. 1957 - Isetta 300. Super highlights and durable - these models actually returned the concern to life.
- 1956 The BMW model range is replenished - 507 and 503. The first engine was incredible for that time power - 150 hp.
- 1959 Model 700. The machine is collected on the iSetta base, but the engine is taken from the R67 motorcycle. Despite 32 hp, due to compact sizes accelerated to 125 km / h. Designer - Giovanni Mikelotti.
- 1975 The first triple of BMW.
- 1995 A car James Bond appears on the light. On E52 (factory number Z8) is the best motor, the appearance of the car is an order of magnitude increases the number of fans of the brand.
- 1999 First SUV. E53 (BMW X5) is waiting for a deafening success already at the presentation in Detroit.
Legendary BMW machines
501
Some brand fans consider this car the most beautiful among BMW cars. Despite the beautiful and original design, the car was offended reluctantly. The heavy body moved too weak (65 hp) Motor, so the Americans and products of Mercedes-Benz 501th inferior. However, this model has become key to designing other, more successful.
The public was presented in Frankfurt in 1951. The production of bodyworks assumed the company Baur. Work was a bit: in seven years, 3444 cars have been released. But the assessment was given later when special marks began to arrive at the 501st.

The quality did not rocked, and by the end of the 20th century, the auto mileage passed for 100 thousand km.
M1 (E26)
Designed together with Lamborghini, the car was doomed to become a celebrity. Designed initially exclusively for racing, it was then supplemented by a road version. The appearance of the latter is associated with restrictions imposed by the organizers of the competition. Total released 453 cars.
As an advertising move to modernization external view M1 was attracted even Andy Warhol. However, the main achievements were covered under the hood. The M1 engine accelerate the car to a hundred for 5.6 seconds, and the upper limit was limited to a strip of 260 km / h.
750Li (F02)
Starting from the presentation of the first model, held in 1977, until today, the 7th series remains the flagship of the concern. Each new model - Sample for competitors, each applies new engineering solutions. For half a century, 5 generations changed.
Today, F01 / 02 is produced with five engine options, among which there are diesel and gasoline. There is also a bitoxic version of Hydrogen 7, a limited series. The maximum speed is 245 km / h. Acceleration up to 100 km / h in 7.7 seconds.
X5 (E53)
The basis for the car served the fifth series, but high ground clearance and planned geometry allow X5 to move on any type of coating. The attack company turned out to be successful, and today the car is directly associated with this concept. The eight-adjusted gearbox allows you to smoothly develop speed and save fuel, transmission - overcome off-road.
The popularity of the car provided and comfortable salon. A lot of glasses added a bright design, body carrying and spacious trunk. The first model is presented at the auto show in 1999, and the new modernization is planned in 2014.

On the emblem, the shades of blue and white colorIn addition, this is the colors of the coat of arms of Bavaria. BMW leaders hide about the origin and real decoding of the emblem, it is worth noting that for all the years of the existence of the company, the emblem has practically not changed.
Where does the company take bMW names for manufactured equipment? While the production of aircraft engines was chosen as in ancient times. Aviation German case for distinguishing aircraft engines indicated Roman numbers. Under these figures, the concepts of engine function were hidden. After a while, many manufacturers before 1932 began to use this way. Cars and motorcycles had personal trademarks "Bayern-Motor", together with which their capacity was highlighted.
Thus, the names of M4A1 and M2B15, having a mysterious look, were published, but everything is quite simple for motorists. For example, the decoding of M2B15 is such: a two-cylinder engine B series with a project 15. Over time, it was decided to make names easier and accessible to people, so the syllables and numbers have no longer indicated in the notation. The system decided to simplify in mid-1920. From mentioning the number of cylinders and the series had to refuse at all.

The designations that have already been appointed, had to change a little, adhering to new changes.
History BMW.
Founders of the company BMW - Karl Rappa and Gustav Otto (son of Nicolaus August Otto, inventor of the internal combustion engine). In 1913, Karl Rappa with his partner Julius Auspitzer Booked out the company "Flugwerk Deutschland" and organized their aircraft company "Karl Rapp Motorenwerke GmbH". Gustav Otto also had its design plant. In 1914, the First World War began, German State very needed aircraft. For this reason, two firms had to be connected together. In 1917, as a result of such an association, a company appeared under the official name of BMW. Although until today, the history of BMWI, this topic causes many discussions, most people believe that the company began its existence long before official registration.
In 1919, the first world record in the company BMW was installed by Franz Dimer. He rose 9760 meters from the land at airplane, the engine of which was made by BMW. After the war ended, the German state took the defeat, and the founders of the company BMW waited for failure, as it became forbidden to produce aviation engines. All production actions had to be stopped, but thanks to the perseverance and perseverance of managers, the plant did not stop his work, but on the contrary, it took a new level. Now BMW specialized in motorcycle technology, and began to produce two-wheeled vehicles. BMW R32 is one of the first motorcycles that entered the story and was released in 1923.
In 1926, the BMW engine was installed on the hydrosapol in which the BMW engine was installed. In 1927, 87 records were recorded in aviation and 29 of them were installed on aircraft with engines BMW.. In 1928, the company took up the purchase of a car plant in Aisenach and receives permission to produce passenger cars.

In 1929, Ernst Henne participates in a motorcycle competition from BMW and knocks out the leaders of the races, which brings him fame as the most successful motorcyclist in the world.

When the war ended, BMW was again in a step from the collapse, some share of companies occupied, moreover, they declared her taboo on any production, due to the supply of aircraft engines during the war. The leaders who are striking their perseverance decided to start all over again.
In 1954, BMW became the leader worldwide in motorcycle competitions with wheelchairs and retained his title champion for 20 years. In 1956, two sports cars were added to the company 503, 507. In 1959, the car "700" models raised the popularity of BMW vehicles. At the expense of high demand for motorcycles, BMW in 1969 resumed the production of two-wheeled vehicles. Motorcycles were produced in Berlin.
The first models were significantly different from the previous ones, their originality. Common forces released a R24 motorcycle, after appeared and passenger car 501. In 1995, the company produces several models of motorcycles R50, R51, and then unusual for everyone, a hybrid with three wheels. Due to unstable income, the company becomes bankrupt, then an option was considered about its sale "Mercedes", but shareholders in every way prevented this and broke the transaction. In the 1970s, the first models of the 3rd series, the 5th series, the 6th series and the 7th series were famous until today. In 1983, the BMW car participated on the Formula 1 races, which also won.

The company is forced to produce motorcycles and an Isetta small car, representing a motorcycle and car hybrid with three wheels (two in front and one behind). The further history of the company is the story of steady growth and original technical solutions. Among them, you can mark the anti-lock brake system, electronic control Engine, the introduction of turbocharging into the automotive industry.
