Despite being one of the most famous car brands in the world, there are still many people who don’t know it BMW stands for. In fact, many people think, BMW is a full name that does not have an extension.
Disitat detikOto from a number of literacy sources and documents, on Monday (10/24/2022), BMW started its business in Germany producing aircraft engines in 1917 ago. Then a year later, the business had to stop after the Treaty of Versailles.
After the deal was relaxed, BMW sold motorcycles in 1923 and began producing automobiles five years later. They are now known as manufacturers who often produce premium vehicles with expensive prices.
