BMW AG (German: [ˈbeːˈʔɛmˈveː]; actually an initialism for Bayerische Motoren Werke in German, or Bavarian Electric motor Works in English) is a German multinational company which currently produces luxury automobiles and motorcycles, and also produced aircraft engines until 1945.
The company started in 1916 and has its headquarters in Munich, Bavaria. BMW produces motor vehicles in Australia, Brazil, China, India, Southern Africa, the United Kingdom, and america. In 2015, BMW was the world's 12th greatest producer of engine vehicles, with 2, 279, 503 vehicles produced. The Quandt family are long lasting shareholders of the business, with the remaining shares possessed by public float.
Vehicles are marketed under the brands BMW (with sub-brands BMW M for performance models and BMW i for plug-in electric cars), Mini and Rolls-Royce. Motorcycles are marketed under the brand BMW Motorrad.
The business has substantial motorsport history, especially in touring vehicles, Formula 1, sports cars and the Isle of Man TT.
he circular blue and white THE CAR logo or roundel evolved from the circular Rapp Motorenwerke logo, from which the BMW company grew, combined with the azure and white colors of the flag of Bavaria. The BMW logo still used today was created in 1917, albeit with various minor styling changes.
The origin of the logo is often thought to be a portrayal of the movement of an aircraft propeller with the white blades cutting through a blue skies. However, this portrayal was first used in a BMW advertisement in 1929 – twelve years after the logo was created – so this is not the origin of the logo itself.
The terms Beemer, Bimmer and Bee-em are commonly used slang for BMW in the English language and are sometimes used interchangeably for cars and motorcycles. In the United Declares, many people prescribe that "beemer" should be used specifically for motorcycles and "bimmer" should be used for vehicles. Some of these people claim that "true aficionados" make this distinction and the ones who don't are "uninitiated. " Usage in North American mainstream media also varies, for example The World and Mail of Europe prefers Bimmer and phone calls Beemer a "yuppie abomination", and the Tacoma Information Tribune claims that it is "auto snobs" who use the words to tell apart between cars and motorcycles.
