BMW Automotives

BMW, or Bavarian Motor Works, is an automobile company that is based in Germany. The company is best known for the manufacture and sale of cars and motorcycles. The company owns Rolls-Royce, and it was also the owner of Rover at one point during its long history. The famous tagline used by the company is "The Ultimate Driving Machine." When it comes to global popularity and recognition, the brand is only rivaled by the likes of Mercedes. Much like the Mercedes brand, BMW vehicles have become a household name in many countries outside of Germany.

The current headquarters for BMW is Munich. The company has well over 100,000 employees, and its revenues for 2006 were in excess of 49 billion. BMW is a company that takes pride in the vehicles it produces. Like the Mercedes, the BMW has become synonymous with style, class, and luxury. These cars have also been given affectionate nicknames, and one of the most prominent nicknames in the United States is "beamer." While the company has produced a large number of models, one characteristic that they all share is the nostrils seen on the front grill. This feature has been added to every model since the BMW 303, which was first introduced during the 1930s.

BMW has designed cars for luxury, families, and the race track. It is one of the most powerful car brands to come out of Germany, and the company is a fierce rival of Mercedes. In fact, some have went so far as to compare the rivalry between the two companies to the rivalry that exists between Coca Cola and Pepsi. BMWs vary widely in prices. While some are in excess of $50,000, others can be purchased brand new for about $23,000. One thing that is certain is that the BMW is one of the most recognized car brands in the world.
