About
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW AG) is headquartered in Munich and is one of the world’s best-selling premium vehicle manufacturers. The company was founded in 1916 as an aircraft engine maker before pivoting to motorcycles and then automobiles in the 1920s.
The BMW brand spans sedans, SUVs, and coupes across multiple size classes, from the 1 Series compact to the 7 Series luxury flagship. The performance-focused M division offers models ranging from the M2 coupe to the M5 sedan.
