BMW
BMW was founded in 1916, but didn’t start to manufacture cars until 1928. Over the years, the BMW brand has been positioned at the sporting end of the premium market – its staple products (the BMW 3-Series, the BMW 5-Series and the BMW 7-Series) have been in production since the 1970s and have always been popular with drivers seeking a more sporting drive.
From humble beginnings in the 1950s with the introduction of the BMW Isetta three-wheeler, came the BMW 1500 and BMW 2500 of the 1960s (fore-runners of the BMW 3-Series and BMW 7-Series respectively). Classic BMWs include the BMW 2002 Turbo, the BMW 3.0CSL and the BMW M1 supercar from the 1970s, the BMW 635CSi coupe and the original 4-cylinder BMW M3 from the 1980s.
BMW started to create niche products in the 1990s, alongside the more conventional saloons, coupes and estates in the form of the BMW Compact (a hatchback version of the popular 3-Series, the BMW Z3, Z3M, BMW M Coupe and BMW Z8.
This decade has seen a significant expansion of the BMW model range with the introduction of two SUVs, the BMW X5 and BMW X3, as well as a replacement for the Z3 in the form of the BMW Z4. The current model line up includes these models, plus the BMW 1-Series ‘family’ (hatchback, coupe and convertible), the 3-Series ‘family’ (saloon, estate, coupe and convertible), the BMW 5-Series saloon and estate, the BMW 6-Series coupe and convertible, the BMW 7-Series and the recently arrived X6.
BMW also has a strong motorsport heritage both in saloon car racing, sports car racing and Formula 1 (latterly as the BMW-Sauber squad). Its performance ‘M’ division produces high-performance versions such as BMW M3, BMW M5, BMW M6, and BMW Z4M.
