The history of BMW car brand dates back to 1916, when one of the Munich factories took up the production of aircraft engines.

This was followed by the production of engines for trucks and motorcycles.

Since 1923, the company has been organizing the production of motorcycles, and since 1928, cars.

But its original specialization - motors - is reflected in the name: "Bayerische Motoren Werke" (BMW) - that is, "Bavarian Motor Plant".

The total European production of passenger cars of this brand in 1999 amounted to 676. 9 thousand units (in 1998, 638. 2 thousand were produced). 52. 4 thousand cars left the assembly line of the BMW plant in the American city of Spartanburg.

Nearly two-thirds of that number came from the popular 3 Series family of models, which break all sales records in the luxury D-size class.

In 1999, their production reached 442. 1 thousand units, which brought the BMW 3-series to the first place among European counterparts.

The BMW 2000 model program is complemented by the X5 SUV, the M3 Sports Coupé, the exclusive Z8 Convertible and the 3 Series Convertible family.

A number of new power units have appeared.

In the future, the range of BMW models is expected to be expanded with a new compact front-wheel drive car of the 2 series, which should take its place in the group of cars of the European class C or B.

This is almost half of the sales of all BMW models.

The second and third places in popularity are occupied by cars of series 1 and 5 with a sales volume of 232, 160 and 151, 900 units, respectively.

In the first 6 months of 2007, demand for BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce models grew by another 4. 6%, which means that in 2007 the total sales of the BMW Group may reach 1400-1450 thousand vehicles.
