BMW
Description
Aircraft producer Bayerische Flugzeugwerke became Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) in 1922. After World War I, BMW built motorcycle engines, farm equipment, household items, and railway brakes. In 1920, BMW became a sub-contract manufacturer for braking system manufacturer Süddeutsche Bremsen-AG. BMW manufactured its first motorcycle in 1923, and first automobile in 1928 when it purchased Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach, which built Austin Sevens at that time under licence (under the Dixi marque). The first car sold as a BMW was a rebadged Dixi called the BMW 3/15. During World War 2, BMW concentrated on aircraft engine production and automobile manufacture stopped altogether. BWM restarted car production in 1948.
