BMW is a German manufacturer of cars, engines and motorcycles. Rolls-Royce and Minne are owned by BMW.
Is one of the world's most competitive competitors, and is the biggest competitor to other popular German cars such as Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Maybach and Smart.
Date:
BMW was formally founded in 1914 but the company's real assets were founded in 1880 when the German Air Force was funded at the time. Carl and Gustavo Otto were the first founders of the company. The company began manufacturing aircraft engines in the early years of its founding and in 1923 in 1929, began manufacturing cars. The company's blue, black and white logo is the company's main logo, which has not changed since the company's founding.
The beginning of the automotive industry in the city of Esnach:
In 1928, BMW took over the car factory in Essen, the factory of the Dixi, and brought it to a car factory. On March 22, 1929, BMW manufactured its first BMW 3/15 PS, which was the development of the Dixi. In 1932, the first BMW-certified car, the AM1, which was larger than its predecessor and more technically developed, was fitted with four wheel brakes and an alternative front axle. In 1933, the BMW 303, which had a 6-cylinder engine from the manufacture of Fritz Filder (1899-1972), appeared. After 1933, the engine industry returned to the façade once again and strongly from the past, and the manufacture of cars and motorcycles became secondary. However, the company has produced several new models, such as the BMW 326 (1935), the BMW 327 (1937) and the attractive BMW 328, which won several MotoGP races in 1940 in Italy.
World War II:
After the Nazis took over the government, the company experienced a major recovery through Hitler's war plans, where the army supplied engines and aircraft. When the number of workers in the aircraft industry was 8,357 in 1933, the number grew to approximately 180,000 in 1938. BMW participated in the economic development of the period, with revenue of approximately 32.5 million Reichsmarks in 1933 and rising to 280 million Reichsmarks in 1939. From 1937 to 1940, the company produced the BMW 325 private car. In 1938, Argus Motor Company of the Jewish Moritz Strauss was commissioned, which led to the establishment of the second factory in the company. Allach district in Munich The company used 17,000 workers to build and equip the plant. In 1943, the company manufactured the BMW 801 engine, which was one of the most important German aircraft engines. The company had to increase production and improve engine capacity, but the engine suffered from several problems, including valve damage. The company attached three other engines (BMW 132,802, M03). During the Second World War, the position of the company was in a deplorable situation, with 6,889 employees moving to the Nazi armed forces, leading to the loss of basic production expertise. Allied aircraft launched raids on their factories in Munich and Munich.
Post-war phase:
After the war in 1945, BMW's main factory in Munich was almost completely destroyed. The Soviets seized its factory in Essen, and displayed the products in the pre-war factory under the same name. However, BMW in Munich did not accept the products for the Soviets. In 1951, the name BMW was renamed the Eisenach-Motoren-Werk (EMW), and because of the Soviets' economic plans, the production of the factory was converted from quad-band to dual-band. In 1955 it produced EMW 340, a development for BMW 326. In Munich, no car was manufactured during this period due to the destruction of the company's main factory and its dismantling, and the company was able to manufacture the motorcycle, brake and brake on its feet.In 1948 the company was able to manufacture the first motorcycle R 24 after the war and introduced in the market followed by BMW 501 cars The new V-8 engine was manufactured by the new BMW 502, which was launched Yeh later the angel of Barock (Barockengel)). But the production of this type of car was expensive as the company was losing with each car 4,000 marks. Problems arose in the second half of 1950, which saw a sharp drop in the sale of motorcycles.
BMW returns to the interface again :
BMW continued to operate as an independent company, but lacked the need to take medium-sized cars into consideration, so funds were scarce. Herbert Quandt, who reduced the shareholders' equity to finance the company, raised the company's capital to 60%. The impact of the banks on the company through a 20 million mark loan from MAN has made BMW physically available for the new medium-sized car industry. In 1961, BMW took advantage of the bankruptcy of Borgward, one of the most competitive companies in the field, with its new BMW 1500 sedan. After initial difficulties, the company succeeded in introducing several new types of 1600,1800,2000 BMW, which has been very successful due to its strength and its ability to win the car races. The real boom of BMW in 1966 was the introduction of two-door cars (BMW 02 Series) 1602,1802,2002 BMW In 1967, BMW owned Hans Glas GmbH and expanded and produced some models of glass bearing the name of BMW (BMW-Glas) And its emblem. In 1968 the company produced several types of large vehicles (BMW 2500,2800,30SL), which aroused the enthusiasm of experts because of its strength and smoothness.
