BMW AG (German: [ˈbeːˈʔɛmˈveː]; originally an initialism for Bayerische Motoren Werke in German, or Bavarian Engine 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 Germany, Brazil, China, India, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In 2015, BMW was your world's twelfth biggest producer of electric motor vehicles, with 2, 279, 503 vehicles produced.

he round blue and white BMW logo or roundel evolved from the circular Rapp Motorenwerke logo, from which the BMW company grew, combined with the blue 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 characterization of the movement of an aircraft propeller with the white blades slicing 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 words 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 States, 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 terms to distinguish between cars and motorbikes.
