{{audio-nohelp|Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft.ogg|'''Bayerische Motoren Werke AG'''}} ('''BMW'''), ({{lang-en|Bavarian Motor Works}}) is an independent [[Germany|German]] [[automotive industry|automobile manufacturer]] founded in 1916. BMW is a worldwide manufacturer of [[High performance vehicle|high-performance]] and [[Luxury vehicle|luxury]] [[automobile]]s and [[BMW Motorrad|motorcycles]], and is the current parent company of both the [[MINI (BMW)|MINI]] and [[Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]] [[car]] [[brands]].
Beginning with aircraft engines, BMW AG produced a variety of products in its early years, eventually shifting to [[motorcycle]] production in 1923 and automobiles in 1928. Since 1928, 96% of all BMW's produced still remain on the road today.{{Fact|date=June 2008}} The circular blue and white "BMW logo hearkens back to BMW's early days as a manufacturer of airplane engines.

BMW AG bought the [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Rover Group]] (which at the time consisted of the [[Rover (car)|Rover]], [[Land Rover]] and [[MG (car)|MG]] marques as well as the rights to defunct marques including [[Austin Motor Company|Austin]] and [[Morris Motor Company|Morris]]) in [[1994]] and owned it for six years. By [[2000]], Rover was making huge losses and BMW decided to sell the combine. The MG and Rover marques were sold to the Phoenix Consortium to form [[MG Rover]], while Land Rover was taken over by [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]]. BMW, meanwhile, retained the rights to build the new [[BMW MINI|MINI]], which was launched in [[2001]].

{{see also|BMW Motorrad|History of BMW motorcycles}}
[[Image:R32-pn.jpg|thumb|The [[BMW R32|R32]], the first BMW motorcycle.]]
BMW began building motorcycle engines and then motorcycles after [[World War I]]. It's motorcycle division is now known as [[BMW Motorrad]]. Their first successful motorcycle, after the failed Helios and Flink, was the "[[BMW R32|R32]]" in 1923. This had a "[[flat-twin|Boxer]]" twin engine, in which an ICCE cylinder protrudes into the air-flow from each side of the machine. Apart from their singles (basically to the same pattern), all their motorcycles had used this distinctive layout until the early 1980s. Many BMWs are still produced to this pattern, which is designated the [[History of BMW motorcycles#R Series|R Series]].
During the Second World War, BMW produced the [[BMW R75]] motorcycle with a [[sidecar]] attached. Featuring a unique design copied from the [[Zündapp]] KS750, its sidecar wheel was also motor driven. Combined with a lockable [[differential (mechanics)|differential]], this made the vehicle very capable off-road, an equivalent in many ways to the [[Willys MB|Jeep]].
In 1983 came the [[History of BMW motorcycles#K Series|K Series]] (affectionately known as "The Flying Brick"), still shaft drive but now water cooled and with either 3 or 4 cylinders mounted in a straight line from front to back. Shortly after, BMW also started making the chain-driven [[History of BMW motorcycles#F Series|F]] and [[History of BMW motorcycles#G Series|G]] series with single and parallel twin [[Rotax]] engines.
In the early 1990s, BMW updated the [[Airhead (motorcycle)|airhead]] Boxer engine which became known as the [[oilhead]]. In 2002, the oilhead engine had two spark plugs per cylinder. In 2004 it added a built-in balance shaft, an increased capacity to 1170 cc and enhanced performance to 100 hp (75 kW) for the [[BMW GS|R1200GS]], compared to 85 hp (63 kW) of the previous R1150GS. More powerful variants of the oilhead and hexhead engines are available in the R1100S and R1200S, producing {{Convert|98|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|122|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}, respectively.
[[Image:K1200gt600.jpg|thumb|K1200GT]]In 2004, BMW introduced the new K1200S Sports Bike which marked a departure for BMW. It is both powerful (the engine is a {{Convert|167|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} unit derived from the company's work with the Williams F1 team) and significantly lighter than previous K models. It was BMW's latest attempt to keep up with the pace of development of sports machines from the likes of [[Honda]], [[Kawasaki motorcycles|Kawasaki]], [[Yamaha]], and [[Suzuki]]. Innovations include a unique electronically adjustable front and rear suspension, and a Hossack-type front fork BMW calls Duolever.
BMW was one of the earliest manufacturers to offer [[anti-lock braking system|anti-lock brakes]] on production motorcycles starting in the late 1980s. The generation of anti-lock brakes available on the 2006 and later BMW motorcycles pave the way for the introduction of sophisticated [[electronic stability control]], or anti-skid technology - a first for production motorcycles - later in the 2007 model year.
BMW has been an innovator in motorcycle suspension design, taking up telescopic front suspension long before most other manufacturers. Then they switched to [[Motorcycle_fork#Earles_fork|Earles Fork]], front suspension by swinging fork (1955 to 1969). Most modern BMWs are truly rear swingarm, single sided at the back (compare with the regular swinging fork usually, and wrongly, called [[swinging arm]]).
Some BMWs started using yet another trademark front suspension design, the Telelever, in the early 1990s. Like the Earles Fork, the Telelever significantly reduces dive under braking.
=== Motorcycle clubs ===
BMW motorcycles have invoked worldwide interest from [[clubs]]. The two largest BMW motorcycle clubs in the world, the [[BMW RA|BMW Riders Association]] and the [[BMW MOA|BMW Motorcycle Owners of America]]{{Fact|date=January 2008}} are headquartered in the United States.
==Automobiles==
=== Project i===
{{See |Mini}}
Project i is a special division of BMW, dedicated to building low emission [[city car]]s <ref>http://www6.lexisnexis.com/publisher/EndUser?Action=UserDisplayFullDocument&orgId=101846&topicId=104970025&docId=l:819957245</ref>.
====1 Series====
{{main|BMW 1 Series}}
The 1 Series was launched globally in [[Fall]] 2004 and shares many structural, chassis, powertrain, hardware and electronic elements with the larger 3 Series. The model was started to provide a lower point of entry into the BMW range as the 3 Series moved gradually up-market. Initially launched as a 5-door hatchback, a 3-door version was also launched in July 2007. The 1 Series is priced between the [[MINI (BMW)|MINI]] and the current [[E90]] 3 Series. Because the coupe is the only [[rear wheel drive]] vehicle in its class, it is somewhat considered the successor to the [[BMW 2002]].
The 1 Series coupe and convertible went on sale in the United States in [[model year]] 2008 as the 128i and the 135i. The convertible, unlike the 3 Series convertible, uses a soft-top instead of a folding hardtop. This is lighter, cheaper to manufacture and preserves more trunk space than the folding hardtop would allow.

====7 Series====
{{main|BMW 7 Series}}
BMW's [[full-size car|full-size]] flagship executive [[sedan]]. Typically, BMW introduces many of their innovations first in the 7 Series. For example, the somewhat controversial [[iDrive]] system debuted in the 7 Series. The 7 Series Hydrogen, featuring one of the world's first [[hydrogen]] fueled combustion engines, is fueled by liquid hydrogen and emits only water vapor. Since the infrastructure for refueling a hydrogen internal combustion engine is not widely available, the [[V12]] engine also runs on [[gasoline]]. Numerous engines power the 7 Series worldwide. BMW offers [[Diesel engine|diesel]], [[straight 6]], [[V8]] and [[V12]] motors, as well as the [[Alpina]] tuned supercharged V8. It is also available in a [[bulletproof]] version.{{Fact|date=July 2007}}
[[Image:BMW X3 2.jpg|thumb|right|BMW X3 (current generation)]]
====X3====

For 2007, the X3 is powered by the N52 inline 6 cylinder engine that debuted on the 2006 E90 3 Series. In 2007 a face lift was given to the X3, including an X-drive update, suspension adjustments, an engine upgrade, and aesthetics inside and out.
Marketed in Europe as an off-roader, it benefits from BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system.
====X5====
{{main|BMW X5}}
[[Image:BMW X5.jpg|thumb|right|2007 E70 BMW X5]]
The BMW X5 (E53) is a mid-size luxury SUV (SAV) sold by BMW since 2000. It features all-wheel drive and a line of straight-6 and V8 engines. For non-U.S. models there is a 3.0 L diesel engine.
The [[BMW E70]] automobile platform replaced the [[BMW E53]] as the X5's underpinnings in November 2006. The E70-based X5 SUV features many new technological advancements including BMW's iDrive system as standard equipment and, for the first time in a BMW, an optional third row seat.
The current generation incorporates safety innovations for the [[crossover (automobile)|crossover]] segment, such as a unique rear framing section to protect 3rd row occupants from injury due to an impact.
The U.S. E70 features either a 3.0si(253 hp)or a 4.8i(350 hp) powertrain. In most parts of Europe, either a 3.0d(232 hp)or a 3.0sd(282 hp) powertrain is available. It has been announced that the X5 M will be released in 2008. It will feature the V12 engine from the 7 Series, which will provide the car with {{Convert|432|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}.

====M3====
[[Image:BMW M3 E92 coupe front.jpg|thumb|E92 M3 Coupé]]
{{main|BMW M3}}
Based on the [[BMW 3 Series|3 Series]], the M3 defined an entirely new market for BMW: a race-ready production vehicle. Since its debut, the M3 is heralded in enthusiast circles, in large part due to its unique geometry and award winning engines. The newest platform became available fall of 2007 in Europe, and second quarter of 2008 for the U.S. in Coupe (E92), and later the Cabriolet (E93), and Sedan (E90) variants.
====M5====
[[Image:BMW M5 front left.jpg|thumb|BMW M5]]
{{main|BMW M5}}
Based on the [[BMW 5 Series|5 Series]], the M5 is the M division's 507 hp (378 kW) V10-powered version of the E60 5 series which accelerates to {{convert|62|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in 4.7 seconds.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicles/mseries/m5/2007/_shared/pdf/m5_sedan_touring_datasheet.pdf |title=Equipment and Technical data |accessdate=2008-05-17 |format=PDF |work=BMW AG}}</ref>

[[Image:BMW M6 Coupé.JPG|thumb|BMW M6 Coupe]]
[[Image:BMW M6 E64.jpg|thumb|BMW M6 Convertible]]
{{main|BMW M6}}
The M6 is the M division's version of the 6 Series.
The M6 shares its drivetrain with the M5. The V10 produces {{Convert|508|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and 383lb/ft (520Nm) of Torque. The production M6 debuted at the 2005 [[Geneva Motor Show]]. It is currently available in a coupe and a convertible version. There is speculation that an M6 CSL version is to be released in the future.
The vehicle is based on the 6 Series coupe and convertible, which were launched in 2004.
Carbon fiber and other light materials are used in places like the bumpers and roof that are far from the centre of gravity and/or high up, so that they not only reduce the overall weight but improve the handling by reducing the moment of inertia and the centre of mass height.
The previous generation was launched in 1983, but ended in 1989 with around 5,855 sold.
====Z4 M====
[[Image:BMW M roadster front.jpg|thumb|BMW Z4 M Roadster]]
{{main|BMW M Coupe|BMW M Roadster}}
The Z4 M is powered by the same 3.2-litre straight-six engine featured in the BMW M3(E46), detuned slightly to fit in the Z4's smaller engine bay. The engine’s performance figures are: 3,246 cc displacement, {{Auto bhp|333|0}} at 7,900 rpm, {{Auto ft.lbf|262|0}} of torque at 4,900 rpm, 8,000 rpm [[redline]].
Output per litre is {{Auto bhp|103|0}}, and power-to-weight ratio is 9.9 lb/bhp. Acceleration to {{convert|60|mi/h|km/h|-1|abbr=on}} comes in 4.8 seconds and top speed is limited electronically to {{convert|155|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}}.
===Future===
* [[BMW Z10|Z10/M10]]: A [[supercar]] to succeed the [[BMW Z8|Z8]], will likely compete with the [[Audi R8]] and [[Porsche 911]]; in September 2007 BMW Group registered the M10 name. It will likely have a front engine/rear wheel drive drivetrain setup. It is also likely to feature the V10 found in the M5 and M6 models, but producing around 550 horsepower. It is expected to weigh less than 3000 pounds.
* [[BMW X1]] : A [[crossover (vehicle)|sports-activity vehicle]] based on the BMW 1-Series to be positioned below the X3. Likely to be built at [[Magna Steyr]] in Austria, where X3 production will be phased out.

===Series Generations===
Internally, BMW associates an "e-code" for each generation of a series ("E" stands for ''Entwicklung'', [[German language|German]] for ''development'' or ''evolution''). These "chassis codes" only change to signify a major redesign of a series, or the introduction of a new series. ''BMW AG'' reported in September 2006 that BMW would switch to the letter "F" for their future models, beginning with the [[BMW F01|F01]] [[BMW 7 Series|7 Series]] replacement.

Recently BMW has become concerned with the rising number of their vehicles being imported from the United States into Canada and with the cooperation of the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (a private contractor to the federal Government of Canada) has placed impediments to the importation of BMW vehicles into Canada. BMW now requires owners importing their cars into Canada to pay a fee of $300 (CDN) for a document guaranteeing the vehicle's admissibility into Canada and $500 (CDN) for a letter advising the Registrar of Imported Vehicles that there are no outstanding recalls on that vehicle.

== Culture ==
The term "Beemer" started as a slang term for the acronym "BMW," adapted from the early-20th century British pronunciation of [[Birmingham Small Arms Company|BSA]] (as {{IPA|/ˈbisə/}} or {{IPA|/ˈbizə/}}), whose motorcycles were often racing BMWs. Over time, the term became closely associated with BMW motorcycles.
In the United States, the term "Beemer" was later coined to refer (exclusively) to BMW automobiles. As such, use of the word "Beemer" to refer to a BMW automobile is frowned upon by some BMW enthusiasts,<ref name="boston-bmwcca.org">{{Cite web|url=http://www.boston-bmwcca.org/reference/Bimmer-Beemer.aspx|title=Bimmer vs. Beemer|accessdate=2007-06-23|work=boston-bmwcca.org}}</ref> because it is the term used for motorcycles. Although the distinction is arbitrary, the media, movies, and people still use the term "Beemer" to refer to the automobiles.
The initials BMW are {{pronounced|beː ɛm ˈveː}} in German. The model series are referred to as "Dreier" ("Three-er" for 3 series), "Fünfer" ("Five-er" for the 5 series), "Sechser" ("Six-er" for the 6 series), "Siebener" ("Seven-er" for the 7 series).
==Environmental Record==
The company is a charter member of the [[U.S. Environmental Protection Agency]]'s(EPA) National Environmental Achievement Track, which recognizes companies for their environmental stewardship and performance. It is also a member of the South Carolina Environmental Excellence Program and is on the [[Dow Jones]] Sustainability Group Index, which rates environmentally friendly companies.<ref>Grahl, C: “Green finishing”, page 35(4). Industrial Paint & Powder, 2006</ref>
BMW has taken measures to reduce the impact the company has on the environment. It is trying to design less-polluting cars by making existing models more efficient, as well as developing environmentally friendly fuels for future vehicles. Possibilities include: electric power, hybrid power (combustion, engines and electric motors)hydrogen engines. <ref>Bird, J and Walker, M: “BMW A Sustainable Future? ”, page 11. Wild World 2005</ref>
==Bicycles==
BMW has created a range of high-end bicycles sold online and through dealerships. They range from the Kid's Bike to the EUR 4,499 Enduro Bike. <ref>[https://shop.bmwgroup.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Store-BMWShop-Site/en_GB/-/EUR/ViewStandardCatalog-Browse?CategoryName=LSMOBI&CategoryDomainName=Store-Storefront BMW Online Shop<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> In the United States, only the Cruise Bike and Kid's Bike models are sold. <ref>[http://www.bmw-online.com/BMWRA_Products.asp?s1=bikes&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=Search&r1=&p1=10&p2=10&i1=ON BMWonline - 1-888-BMW-ONLINE (888-269-6654) BMW, clothes, clothing, shirts, sweaters, polos, models, miniatures, shirt, tee, tees, sweater, polo, model, miniature, jewelry, motorcycle, leathers, boots, gloves<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
== Nomenclature ==
{{Unreferencedsection|date=June 2008}}
BMWs follow a certain nomenclature in the naming of many of their vehicles; a 3 digit number is followed by 1 or 2 letters. The first number is the series number. The next two numbers traditionally represent the engine displacement in cubic centimeters divided by 100.
The system of letters is as follows:
*d = [[diesel engine|diesel]]
*i = [[fuel injection|fuel-injected]]
*x = [[all wheel drive]]
*L = long wheel base
*C = [[coupe]] (no longer used)
*T = touring ([[station wagon|wagon/estate]])
*t = [[hatchback]]
*g = biogas
*s = sport package (typically includes front sports seats, spoiler, aerodynamic body kit, upgraded rims, etc.)
*e = eta (essentially "economy" in English)
*es = eta sport
For example, a BMW 760Li is a fuel-injected 7 Series with a long wheel base and 6.0 litres of displacement.
However, there are exceptions. The 2007 BMW 328i is a 3 Series that has a 3.0 litre engine. The 2007 BMW 335i also has a 3.0 litre engine; however, it is [[turbocharger|twin-turbocharged]], which is not identified by the nomenclature.
The 'M' - for [[BMW M|Motorsport]] - identifies the high-performance M vehicle of a particular series (e.g. M3, M5, M6, etc). For example, the M6 is the highest performing vehicle in the 6 Series lineup. Although 'M' cars should be separated into their respective series platforms, it is very common to see 'M' cars grouped together as its own series.
The 'Z' identifies a two seater roadster (e.g. Z1, Z3, Z4, etc). M variants of Z models have the M as a suffix or prefix, depending on country of sale. (e.g. 'Z4 M' / 'M Roadster' in Canada)
A capitalized 'X' may supersede the series number (e.g. X3 and X5) which refers to the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) lineup, all of which feature BMW's [[BMW xDrive|xDrive]].
Both X & Z vehicles will have 'i' or 'si' follow the engine displacement denoted in litres. The 'si' (e.g. X3 3.0si) identifies the vehicle as being equipped with the 'sport package' & is 'fuel-injected'. X & Z vehicles only denoting 'i' (e.g. X3 3.0i) identifies the vehicle as 'fuel-injected' and no sport package.
Also, station-wagons/estates are traditionally given the "Touring" or "Sport Wagon" tagline, depending on country of sale.
== Community ==
[[Image:BMW Logo für Werbung auf Gestell montiert.JPG|thumb|BMW logo sign in Düsseldorf]]
From the summer of 2001 until October, 2005, BMW hosted the [http://www.bmwfilms.com BMW Films] website, showcasing sporty models being driven to extremes. These videos are still popular within the enthusiast community and proved to be a ground-breaking online advertising campaign.
Annually since 1999, BMW enthusiasts have met in Santa Barbara, CA to attend [[Bimmerfest]]. One of the largest brand-specific gatherings in the U.S., over 3000 people attended in 2006, and over 1000 BMW cars were present. In 2007, the event was held on May 5.
==Overseas subsidiaries==
===South Africa===
BMWs have been assembled in [[South Africa]] since 1970, when Praetor Monteerders' plant was opened in [[Rosslyn]], near [[Pretoria]]. BMW acquired the company in 1973, which became '''BMW South Africa''', the first wholly-owned subsidiary of BMW to be established outside Germany. Three unique models that [[BMW Motorsport]] created for the South African market were the BMW 333i, which added a 6-cylinder 3.2 litre engine to the [[BMW E30|BMW 3 Series]],[<ref>http://www.bmwplant.co.za/Content/frame_content.jsp@content=http-3a-2f-2fhaf0gau02~5.htm</ref> the BMW 325is which was powered by an Alpina derived 2.7 litre engine, and the [[BMW E23|E23]] M745i, which used the engine from the [[BMW M1]].
Unlike [[U.S.]] manufacturers, such as [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] and [[General Motors|GM]], which divested from the country in the 1980s, BMW retained full ownership of its operations in South Africa.
Following the end of [[apartheid]] in 1994, and the lowering of import tariffs, BMW South Africa ended local production of the 5-Series and 7-Series, in order to concentrate on production of the 3-Series for the export market. South African-built BMWs are now exported to [[right hand drive]] markets including [[Japan]], [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], the [[United Kingdom]], [[Singapore]], and [[Hong Kong]], as well as [[Sub-Saharan Africa]]. Since 1997, BMW South Africa has produced vehicles in [[left hand drive]] for export to [[Taiwan]], the [[United States]] and [[Iran]], as well as [[South America]].
===India===
BMW established in 2006 a sales subsidiary in [[Gurgaon]] (National Capital Region) and a state-of-the-art assembly plant for BMW 3 and 5 Series started operation in early 2007 in [[Chennai]]. The construction of the plant started in January 2006 with an initial investment of more than one billion Indian Rupees. The plant started fullfledged operation in the first quarter of 2007 and produces the different variants of BMW 3 Series and BMW 5 Series.<ref>http://www.bmw.in/in/en/index_narrowband.html</ref>
===China===
In May 2004 BMW opened a factory in [[Shenyang]], north-east China, in a joint venture with Brilliance China Automotive.<ref>http://www.testdriven.co.uk/news.cfm/bmw-opens-china-factory</ref> The factory is expected to produce 30,000 3 and 5 Series annually. BMW also has plans for a 2nd factory in China where the 1 Series will be produced.<ref>http://www.chinacartimes.com/category/bmw-china</ref>
