With superb vehicle handling characteristics, BMW’s true love powder is always the most in BBA, and they even have a unique title: BIMMER. But even if the number of “Bimmer” is numerous, it really understands that the BMW is less. Just like very few people know the BMW’s car logo is not a blue sky and white clouds, and BMW is almost harmed by Mercedes-Benz. There is still a lot of small secrets, and today I will come to everyone!
Unfortunately, the aircraft engine manufactured by RAPP Motorenwerke does not meet the needs of the military in the late war, which not only leads to rapp motorenwerke. Lost this big customer of Deutism, and the company founded Karl Rapp and resigned, and left all the rotten stalls to a Franz Middot; Joseph Middle; Pop (Franz) Austria subordinate in Josef Popp. The first thing to take any of this Austrian is to change the company’s name from the Rapp Motorenwerke to Bayerische Motoren Werke, which is now the full name of BMW BMW, and continues to produce aircraft engine.
BMW IIIA Engine
After the company’s founder left, and after the company’s founder, and changed its name into a Bavarian engine manufacturing plant, the aircraft engine manufacturer actually returned to life. With a good fuel economy (aircraft radius) and high altitude (can fly the Alps), the engine order is more popular, and the engine order is more blowing, and the BMW after the rename. Harvested the first bucket of gold!
After the aircraft engine is successful, the BMW has received the German Empire. High attention. In order to make this outstanding engine manufacturing plant in China, the German Empire has reached a task to BMW: a logo is designed for BMW brands. And this finished product is the “Blue Sky Baiyun” mark we are familiar with.
Bavarian flag
Because BMW’s LOGO uses the same blue, white color, plus BMW It is the relationship between the aircraft engine manufacturer, so many people have mistakenly thought that BMW logo represents blue sky and white clouds. But in fact, the reason why BMW chooses to blue and white, because BMW’s base camp – Bavarian state flag is blue and white. However, the four-class round circles in the center of BMW LOGO are indeed associated with the aircraft, representing the meaning of the propeller.
Although it has experienced a small twist, BMW is still in the first Earn a famous gas in the next world war. However, it is precisely because of the random operation of the gun, BMW has eventually been forced to give up the right to make aircraft engine.
Signing Versailles and about
In 1918 after the end of the First World War, all the countries participating in the country in Paris, Paris. Discuss the compensation of the war and signed the worldVersailles and about. Since the German Empire at the time belongs to the defeated party, it has to pay an indemnity to the victory, but also to be restricted to the national armament power. So as the BMW of an excellent airplane engine manufacturer, it is naturally deprived of the home business of the manufacture of aircraft engines.
Motorcycle
using the M2B15 engine is prohibited because the aircraft business is prohibited, and the BMW has produced another trail. Many things with aircraft engine are not stunned, such as farmers, home supplies, and railroad brakes. And the original engine business is concentrated in this period, agriculture. The most famous of these is a M2B15 portable industrial engine, thanks to the small body and 6.5 horsepower power output, this displacement is 0.5L-level, the opposite engine is installed on a motorcycle. Such folk operations quickly caught the attention of BMW, after discovering new business opportunities, BMW facilitated the manufacturing business of motorcycles in 1921.
BMW gradually transferred the production target to the time of the very rare Car body. In 1928, there is no BMW of the baby experience, through the acquisition of a British car-Osding 7 production drawings by acquiring a uncoming German car manufacturer. After simple modification, the first car DIXI 3/15 in BMW has officially launched, and thereby also open the legendary baby career.
BMW 303
As the most representative of BMW Design elements, to trace the history of dual kidney grille, we have to continue to talk above. After manufacturing DIXI 3/15 in 1928, BMW began to design his own car, it was the BMW 303 released in 1933.
This model is completely developed by BMW, using a largest 31 hp in line block engine, so the BMW 303 has More slender engine cover. In order to enhance the identity of BMW 303, BMW also designed a double-kidney intake grille, which has also opened the legendary design of BMW “double kidney”.
BMW 315
After BMW 303 was born, it directly became the cheapest in Germany territory. Six-cylinder model. Unfortunately, the hard-hard suspension is adjusted, so that it will drive it very biased towards insufficient steering, completely does not meet the motion of the sports car. Therefore, after 2,300 units 303, BMW has launched a more sporty successor – BMW 315.
For BMWs in the 1930s, because the car is still in its starting stage Therefore, in order to obtain a higher brand awareness, BMW has the idea of challenging motorcycles speedy world records. During this time, the BMW motorcycle has replenished the speed record of the land motorcycle, the most famous is the speed record of 279.5km / h on November 28, 1937. If I tell you that this record has been maintained for 14 years, everyone should know the gold content?
grabbed the Mercedes-Benz in a battle period, Starting the German military offers aircraft engine, BMW has already handed over the same way as the German brand. It can be, it is, after the end of the World War, BMW gives Mercedes-Benz “revenge” opportunities, it will be acquired …
BMW ISETTA
The story is like this, 19The BMW, who just got rid of the shadow of World War II, did not recover too well. Although Isetta’s cheap and compact “bubble car”, it could not be able to get adequate profits from it because the price is too low.
BMW 507
Kunter family
At the shareholders’ meeting held at the end of 1959, the Chairman BMW Supervisors made a shocking Proposal: Merge with Daimler – Mercedes-Benz. Fortunately, this proposal has been strongly opposed by many people. In order to save the BMW while preventing this proposal, those who hold against the opinions found the famous Kunter family seeking help at that time. Subsequently, the Kunter family injected a huge cash flow for BMW through the way of purchasing BMW two-thirds equity. In this way, BMW has successfully avoided the ending of the competitors Mercedes-Benz.
BMW New Class
For the Kunter family, this saving money to the BMW is really too value. . Because there is not long after BMW, “BMW New Class” has launched four car plans of “BMW New Class”, by using a front wheel disc brake system (most of the cars, four-wheel bulk brakes), independent suspension and other technologies A large increased the performance of the vehicle and won the extensive praise of the market. Therefore, in 1963, BMW finally had capital to distribute dividends for the investors after World War II, and held the BMW.The Kunter family of second equity is even more full! It can be said that this is a great win-win!
As a model of vehicle handling model as a starting point No one will hope that the 3 Series will eventually become an electric car with no soul. It is a pity that it is actually that the electric 3 series is made by BMW very early, and the time is even at the age of 3 series.
In order to be able to add color to the hometown in the German Munich Olympics in 1972, BMW is based on the previous generation model of E21 BMW 3 Series – BMW 1602 manufacturing Pure electric BMW 1602 elektro-antrieb version. The reason for this car is also very simple, because the Olympics at the time requires a working car that serves the marathon, and the pure electric car is naturally suitable because there is no exhaust emission.
BMW E21 3 Series
Since only 12 12 volt cells are used, even the car The battery is empty, and you can only run 59 kilometers, so the effect of this electric 1602 is limited to this. And its subsequent model E21 BMW 3 Series, that is, the first generation of the first generation officially named “BMW 3 Series”.
BMW is a gift of the 1972 German Munich Olympics, except for electric 3 In addition, there are also BMW iconic “four-cylinder” headquarters built in the same year. This architecture is within close proximity of Munich Olympic Park, is a local landmark building.
In order to highlight the German product industry, BMW selected four-cylinder engines after considering the symmetry of the building. Although this building seems to be spliced by four cylinders from the appearanceIt is, but in fact, for the overall shape of the whole shape, the four cylinders are actually not directly connected to the ground, but is hanging on the cross-type steel beam of the intermediate. So the overall look, this building completed the build building in 1972 revealed the breath of Bozhu.
As the first super sports car, BMW M1 has too many The sorrowful place, in which it is the joining of Lamborghini, Italy, which is undoubtedly more legendary to add more legendary colors.
BMW 3.0 CSL
Have a BMW 3.0 CSL sweeping the European RV Championships, ready to build a super sports car M1 It is because BMW Sports Department (BMW M) is preparing to enter the GROUP 5 competition of the event level, and to challenge the status of Porsche in the event. However, due to the higher relationship between the level of the event, the pre-driver of the premium of the BMW is a premium. Therefore, in order to be able to dry the Porsche in the game, the BMW sports department decided to make a super-sports car that was previously driven. If you have problems, BMW has never produced the experience of the transfer after the middle!
At this time, the BMW sports department found Lamborghini and asked him to help. Under Lamborghini and BMW, both parties determine the chassis details of M1. At the same time, in order to ensure that the vehicle has sufficient body rigidity, the BMW has found the top racing chassis designer Gianpaolo Dallara (Gui’an Middot; Paul Middot; Dalala) designed M1 tube car body.
The first super sports car in the history of BMW in history is born through the perfect integration of German industrial technology and Italian vehicles. Unfortunately, the BMW M1 when you can’t catch up with the rules of the Group 5 competition, soTo its group upgrade from Group 5 to Group 4, the GROUP 4, which is directly prepared to lose the BMW M1 of the Group 5 to kill the four-party BMW. This should be very powerful. At the same time, due to the revision of the race rules, the BMW M1 that lost the competitive advantage was stopped after the production of 453 units. So far, BMW has no researched to develop a super sports car in the traditional sense, so BMW M1 is also a single super sports car in BMW.
According to the above, we are known above, BMW from the manufacture of aircraft engine After being limited by the Versailles and about, it can only be away from the business in the sky. But there are more inner hearts of BMW to return to the sky. Don’t say more, everyone should also think. So, in order to avoid restrictions from Versailles and Treaty, BMW set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States.
New airlines
different from the general car enterprise cross-border, the surrounding manufacturers, Designworks is the aviation field. design. For example, it was rated as Singapore Airlines of five-star airlines, and its cabin design was taken by Designworks, and the Errobe Airlines in Taiwan. In addition, DesignWorks also helps the world’s third largest passenger aircraft manufacturer – Brazilian Air Industry Corporation design cockpit. It can be seen that although the current BMW is made of aircraft, it has been successfully returned to the old Bank of “Heavenly Flying” through the industrial design.
Although Rolls Royce belongs to BMW, it is not a new thing. And the BMW also resisted the “Second Spring” in the end of the Rolls Royce grooming. But how did the BMW have made Rolls Royce? This can be known, and this is hidden with a BMW and German compatriots – the mass between the public!
Rolls Royce uses BMW’s V12 engine
The two of the Wicks Group, which has Rolls Royce and Bentley in 1998 at the time. A car brand that has not been made, because BMW is the Rolls Royce and Bentley engine supplier, the BMW is also considered to be the best candidate of these two brands. But I didn’t expect that after the public bidding, the acquisition price given by BMW was actually surpassed by the public it used to make up! With the principle of high prices, the public won the two brands of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
According to the reason, the public can start manufacturing and selling Rolls-Royce and Bentley. But there is a sudden episode, and the Rolls Royce’s dual “R” logo is not in the sale of the selling project, but the Rawls Middot, which is a special manufacturing aircraft engine; Rooz Company. Because this company is very good with BMW, it will actually authorize the trademark to BMW.
The two sides have been embarrassed, and the BMW has the right to use the LOGO use of dual “R”, but there is no production power. The public has Rolls-Royce and Bentley’s production rights, Rolls-Royce celebrates the use of the goddess (the status of the head), as well as the Rolls-Royce, which is used by the brand (At that time, Bentley and Rollsley Sspent is produced in this factory), but it is not available to sell in the name of Rolls. In short, the two sides cannot legally produce Rolls Royce cars …
Commercial game, naturally to see both parties What card is there. In this card, the card in the hand of the BMW is not much, but it hides the two kings. Because Bentley and Rolls-Royce V12 engine are provided by BMW, the biggest also only V8 engine in the time is not possible to make the engines for these two brands in a short time, so as long as BMW does not want to public For sale, the public will even make a Bentley in 5 years, and Rolls can’t make it. In the end, the public can only compromise helplessly … leaving the sales at the time.It is two times the Rolls Royce and will give BMW.
Bentley W12 engine
Although the brand dispute has been resolved, Rolls Royce returned to BMW, Bentley returned to the public, but Since Rolls Rolls has sold to the public as an asset, BMW has to build a car factory in Gudwood in British to produce “new” Rolls Royce. After 5 years, 2003, the famous Rolls-Royce pharmacy officially saved from the new factory, and the public has created a new D1 platform for manufacturing Bentley models that met at the time of luxury sedan, but the engine is used. It is a W12 that is very popular.
Looking at the history of BMW can see that it is not a family Since the establishment of a Mercedes-Benz, it has been smooth, but it has not experienced the owner, and the brand gene continues completely. And in the process, it also shows a very active, upward brand spirit. After the aircraft business is limited, bravely turn to motorcycles and automobile production and then put it again. In the time of bankruptcy, it has completed self-salvation with an unique insight into the sports car. It is not possible that BMW is worthy of the respect since the competitors, and it is worthy of respect for every fans.
