BMW Automobiles: Rent a BMW in Beverly Hills!
Bavarian Motor Works
Not many people actually know what BMW stands for but they know what it represents, the highest quality and performance available in an affordable luxury car. Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) was founded on 7th March 1916 and incorporates Otto-Werke. BMW acquires the BFW plant in 1922, but considers the creation of BFW its foundation date.
On 21st July 1917, Rapp-Motorenwerke was renamed Bayerische Motoren Werke. The ongoing war meant that the small company grew quite quickly, and built a spacious plant right next to the Oberwiesenfeld airfield in Munich and continued to build engines for army planes until 1918. BMW bought the Eisenach automobile plant, where the Austin Seven was successfully produced under the name "Dixi 3/15 PS". This vehicle was developed and was sold to the public in 1929 as the BMW 3/15 PS DA 2 with a range of different body shells.
The BMW logo is the symbol of a white propeller blade against a blue sky. It reflects the origins of BMW as a maker of military aircraft engines during the First World War.
