BMW originally an initialism for Bayerische Motoren Werke in German, or Bavarian Motor Works in English) is really a German multinational company which currently produces luxury automobiles and motorcycles, and in addition produced aircraft engines until 1945.The company was founded in 1916 and has now its headquarters in Munich, Bavaria. BMW produces cars in Germany, Brazil, China, India, South Africa, the United Kingdom, plus the United States. In 2015, BMW was by far the twelfth largest producer of autos, with 2,279,503 vehicles produced. The Quandt family are long-term shareholders on the company, with all the remaining shares belonging to public float.Automobiles are marketed beneath the brands BMW (with sub-brands BMW M for performance models and BMW i for plug-in electric cars), Mini and Rolls-Royce. Motorcycles are marketed in the brand BMW Motorrad.The name BMW is surely an abbreviation for Bayerische Motoren Werke. The German name just isn't grammatically correct, because motorenwerke is often a single word in German. The term Bayerische Motorenwerke (that has been used in several German publications and advertisements previously) could result in English as Bavarian Motor Works, that has been used by BMW for marketing products in English-speaking countries. The suffix AG, short for Aktiengesellschaft, signifies an incorporated entity which is belonging to shareholders.The terms Beemer, Bimmer and Bee-em can be used slang for BMW within the English language and so are sometimes used interchangeably for cars and motorcycles.In the United States, many people prescribe that "beemer" needs to be used designed for motorcycles and "bimmer" ought to be used for cars. Some of these people report that "true aficionados" get this to distinction and those that don't are "uninitiated." Usage in North American mainstream media also varies, for example The Globe and Mail of Canada prefers Bimmer and calls Beemer a "yuppie abomination", along with the Tacoma News Tribune says it's "auto snobs" who makes use of the terms to tell apart between cars and motorcycles.The circular blue and white BMW logo or roundel evolved from the circular Rapp Motorenwerke custom logo, by which the BMW company grew, combined while using blue and white colors in the flag of Bavaria. The BMW logo still used today was made in 1917, albeit with some other minor styling changes.The origin from the logo is usually thought to be a portrayal with the movement associated with an aircraft propeller using the white blades cutting by having a blue sky. However, this portrayal was first utilised in a BMW advertisement in 1929 - twelve years following your logo is made - so this isn't the origin on the logo itself.
