BMW

The German company was founded in 1916 by Carl Rapper and Gustafson Otto and was busy in aircraft building. Nobody thought that the BMW company would become an auto-corporation.

In 1928 the factory got the license to manufacture a car DIXI, and in 1933 the company presented a limousine.

The World War II completely destroyed the car making industry. In order to survive the BMW company started to produce motorbikes, and only in 1951 the factory renewed the car production.

The next few decades the BMW company was working rather hard trying to compete and trying to develop the engine system. Since the 90s the brand has been trying to open new subsidiaries all over the world and every new show room enjoys the new models by BMW.
