BMW is one of the most recognized and admired automobile builders in the world. The company is based in Bavaria, but builds cars around the globe, with factories in South Africa, the USA, United Kingdom, and Brazil. Here is a brief history of BMW.

The Early Years of BMW

BMW was born out of a pair of companies, Rapp Motorenwerke, and Automobilwerk Eisenach. In 1917 Rapp Motorenwerke lost an important executive and decided to rename the company Bayerische Motorenwerke. A few years later the Bayerische bought Automobilwerk Eisenach, which led to the first production of BMW cars. The first models were a design that was being developed by Automobilwerk and became the BMW 3/15 that launched BMW into cars.

At times you may be forced to replace some of your BMW’s parts – and it only makes sense that you only purchase those that would not cause additional problems. Most people are confused by whether they should go for the, most often than not, pricier OEM car parts or opt for the comparably cheaper aftermarket parts.
