The BMW

The history of BMW dates back almost 90 years and contains numerous achievements that have established it as a benchmark .BMW became an automobile manufacturer in 1929 when it purchased Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach BMW's team of engineers progressively developed their cars from small Seven-based cars into six-cylinder luxury cars and, in 1936, began production of the BMW 328 sports car. BMW's main products were Aircraft engines, motorcycles, and automobiles until World War 2. BMW concentrated on aircraft engine production, with motorcycles as a side line and automobile manufacture stopped altogether. After the war, BMW survived by making pots, pans, and bicycles until 1948, when it restarted motorcycle production. One of the most memorable models in its history was introduced in 1956, the BMW 507 quickly became famous. There were only 252 models of the quickly famous 507 ever produced, it remains a symbol of BMW's struggles and ultimate triumphs during the fifties after the end of the War. By 1959, BMW was in debt and losing money. In 1961, BMW launched the 1500, a compact sedan at the Fankfurt Motor Show. The two-door version of the 1600 was launched, along with a convertible in 1966-1967. Come 1968 BMW launched its large "New Six" sedans. In 1972, the 5 series was launched to replace the New Six sedans followed by  newly introduced larger sedans became the 7 series in 1977. From 1970 to 1993, under Von Kuenheim, turnover increased 18-fold, car production quadrupled and motorcycle production tripled.Between 1994 and 2000 BMW owned the active Rover, Mini and Land Rover brands as well as rights to many dormant marques such as Austin , Morris, Riley, Triumph and WosleyBMW was  successful with the Mini, MG and Land Rover brands. In the early 2000s, BMW went through periodic cycles of redoing the Design of its various series of vehicles.
