BMW In A Class Of Its Own

BMW has came a long way from the early 1900's when a well known gentleman by the name of Karl Friedrich Rapp formed Rapp Motoren Werke. The company specialized in aircrafts engines and in 1912 Rapp Motoren contracted with Austro Daimler to build V12 aero engines, however by 1916 Rapp had gave the company his resignation due to financial troubles and taken over were two Austrians by the name of Franz Josef Popp and Max Friz who in March 1916 merged Rapp Motoren Werke with Gustav Flugmaschinefabrik to form Bayersiche Flugzeungwerke thus the household name became (Bavarian Motor works) better known today as BMW.

By 1917 BMW began to build aircraft engines but by 1919 the Versailles Peace treaty had been signed prohibiting BMW to build aircraft engines so the company set out and began to create air brakes for railway cars and in 1920 the BMW logo was created and had been based on the circular design of an aircraft propeller. By 1922 BMW was back in business building aircraft engines but by 1923 the first BMW motorcycle was introduced and the company produced 3090 of the R32 motorcycles between 1923-1926.

In 1928 BMW made history by creating the Dixie 3/15PS which was a 4 cylinder engine producing a mere 15 horsepower which was quite quick for a motor vehicle of that era. It included an open top roof which we called a moon roof today which allowed you to feel the experience of the BMW. By 1938 the BMW 328 was introduced and to remains one of the most popular vehicles of today.

Before the economy began to slide and my husband had gotten ill, we were proud owners of the BMW,with sleek design, the performance, suspension and the feeling that one gets when they accelerate surpasses all others. The 3 series, 5 series, 7 series, Roadster and the SUVs all perform will supreme excellence.
