Mind your brakes! October Promotion: BMW!

October 1, 1928: BMW took over Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach A.G. and started car production.

The history of BMW is a fascinating journey that began in October 1913 when Karl Friedrich Rapp opened a factory in Germany dedicated to designing aircraft engines. Although the beginnings were difficult, the company quickly gained momentum. It merged with Gustav Otto Flugmaschinenfabrik, forming Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG (BFW), which was renamed BMW two years later (in 1918).

The original logo, designed in 1920, was inspired by a spinning propeller – a clear nod to the brand's aviation roots. However, the end of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles banned Germany from producing aircraft engines. This forced the company to seek new avenues: starting in 1919, they produced pneumatic brakes for trains, and from 1921, motorcycles (including the Flink and Helios models).

The key moment for motoring came in 1928. Although car prototypes existed earlier (e.g., BMW F55), the real automotive business began when BMW took over Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach A.G., the producer of the small DIXI cars. That's when the first mass-produced BMW cars, the Dixi 3/15, rolled off the assembly lines. Its small 743 cm³ engine allowed it to reach a speed of 80 km/h.

The 1930s brought the brand success in sports, including the premiere of the 3/20PS model (1932) and the legendary Roadster 328, which broke records on the Nürburgring and is today considered one of the most beautiful models in history. Today, exactly 100 years since its official registration, BMW is one of the most powerful global automotive corporations.
