10 Things About BMW You Must Know

1) It is a very common notion among people that BMWs
logo is inspired from a propeller. But on the contrary,
it is actually not. The BMW badge was actually derived
from the flag of Bavaria, the home of BMW. Blue and
White are the colors of the Bavarian national flag.

2) The signature front face grills on all BMWs are
called Kidney Grills. The grills first debuted in
1933 on the BMW 03. BMW
3) Just like Lamborghini never started out with
making cars, BMW was also not a car manufacturer
in its initial years. To low down the shortage of air
plane engines during the World War One, the German
motoring icon used to make aero plane propellers.
The BMW biplane hit 32,000 feet in 1919, which was a
world record back in the day.
4) BMWs world headquarters are massively popular.
But very less people know that the design of the
building is identical to that of a four cylinder engine.
The design is a typical example of BMWs four cylinder
engine heritage.
5) Nearing bankruptcy in 1959, BMW was almost taken
over Mercedes. BMW though, pulled back because
they found a private investor whose family till date
owns BMW shares. BMW Blog

6) The very first BMW M car was the legendary

M1. This car though, was supposed to be made
by Lamborghini who pulled back because of
financial restraints. BMW
7) You will be surprised to know that BMW has
been making electric cars for over 40 years
now. BMWs first electric car called the 1602
debuted at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Despite
being all electric the car had 43 horses under
the hood, almost half of the horse power of
the petrol driven 1602. BMW
8) BMW also designs aero plane and train
interiors. Youtube
