The document provides an overview of BMW's history and operations. It discusses BMW's founding, global presence, products beyond automobiles, and historical involvement in aircraft engines.

BMW originated from the merging of three manufacturing companies in Munich, Germany in 1916. It began as an aircraft engine manufacturer and later expanded into motorcycles and automobiles. BMW has established itself as a leading luxury automaker known for performance.

During WWII, BMW produced over 30,000 aircraft engines and 500 jet engines for the Nazi regime. Forced labor from concentration camps was utilized to enable massive production to support the war effort.

2. Literature review

BMW AG originated with three other manufacturing companies, Rapp

Motorenwerke and Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFw) in Bavaria, and

Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach in Thuringia. The company is now known as

BMW or Bayerische Motoren Werke. Aircraft engine manufacturer Rapp

5
Motorenwerke became Bayerische Motorenwerke in 1916. The engine

manufacturer, which built proprietary industrial engines after World War

I, was then bought by the owner of BFw who then merged BFw into

BMW and moved the engine works onto BFw's premises. BFw's

motorcycle sideline was improved upon by BMW and became an integral

part of their business.

BMW Museum souvenirs The initial products were exhibited in 1922 in

Munich plant. These souvenirs were not intended for sale. It was resulted

with the historical exhibition which was organized in 1966. [1]BMW

became an automobile manufacturer in 1929 when it purchased

Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach, which, at the time, built Austin Sevens under

license under the Dixi marque. BMW's team of engineers progressively

developed their cars from small Seven-based cars into six-cylinder luxury

cars and, in 1936, began production of the BMW 328 sports car. Aircraft

engines, motorcycles, and automobiles would be BMW's main products

until World War II. During the war, against the wishes of its director

Franz Josef Popp, BMW concentrated on aircraft engine production, with

motorcycles as a side line and automobile manufacture stopped al

together.

In 1913, Karl Rapp established Rapp Motorenwerke near the

Oberwiesenfeld. Rapp had chosen the site because it was close to Gustav

Otto Flugmaschinenfabrik, with whom he had contracts to supply his

four-cylinder aircraft engines. Rapp was sub-contracted by Austro-

Daimler to manufacture their V12 aircraft engines. Austro-Daimler at the

time was unable to meet its own demands to build V12 Aero engines. The

officer supervising aero-engine building at Austro-Daimler on behalf of

the Austrian government was Franz Josef Popp. When it was decided to

produce Austro-Daimler engines at Rapp Motorenwerke, Popp was

delegated to Munich from Vienna to supervise engine quality. Popp did

not restrict himself to the role of observer, becoming actively involved in

the overall management of the company. On 7 March 1916, Rapp

Motorenwerke became Bayerische Motoren Werke GmbH. The German

invasion of Poland and commencement of hostilities meant that

manufacturing facilities in Germany were directed by the Nazi regime to

re-focus on the manufacture of products required to support the war

effort. In 1939, BMW bought Spandau-based Brandenburgische

Motorenwerke, also known as Bramo, from the Siemens group of

companies and merged it with its aircraft engine division under the name

BMW Flugmotorenbau GmbH. A new factory at Allach, outside Munich,

began production of aircraft engines later that year.

BMW 003 jet engine

A wide range of aero engines was ultimately produced for the Luftwaffe,

including one of the most powerful engines of the time – the BMW 801.

Over 30,000 aero engines were manufactured through 1945, as well as

over 500 jet engines such as the BMW 003. To enable this massive

production effort, forced labor was utilized, consisting primarily of

prisoners from concentration camps such as Dachau.[35] By the end of

the war, almost 50% of the 50,000-person workforce at BMW AG

consisted of prisoners from concentration camps.[36] BMW also

developed some military aircraft projects for the Luftwaffe towards the

last phase of the Third Reich, the BMW Strahlbomber, the BMW

Schnellbomber and the BMW Strahljäger, but none of them were built.

[37]

While Alfred Böning had returned to BMW and developed the R24[39]

and Fritz Fiedler had gone to work for Bristol,[43] Alex von

Falkenhausen and Ernst Loof had each started companies that built sports

cars and racing cars. Von Falkenhausen started Alex von Falkenhausen

Motorenbau (AFM), while Loof, in partnership with Georg Meier and

Lorenz Dietrich, started Veritas. AFM and Veritas both competed in

Formula 2, but both companies had shut down operations by 1954, when

both von Falkenhausen and Loof went back to BMW.

3. Hypotheses

Perhaps even he himself isn’t entirely sure, but he has countless ideas in

mind, from both technical and styling standpoints, which could possibly

pave the way for this revolution. “The most important thing”, he says, “is

to start challenging paradigms, and sometimes you need a big hammer to

break them down before people take notice and accept the new.” While

this does not mean that the two BMWs unveiled at Geneva are already

ushering in the revolution, according to Bangle, they are proof that it is

possible to imagine the car “in a different way”.
