BMW ACCESSORIES
BMW is one of the world's most recognizable luxury brand names, as this German automaker offers drivers a fleet of upscale cars and SUVs to choose from. Founded in 1916 as Bayerische Motoren Werke (Bavarian Motor Works) in Munich, Germany, BMW actually began as a manufacturer of aircrafts. The infamous BMW logo which many believe is a propeller in a blue sky background is said to have originated from the company's involvement with airplanes (although it is since disputed). BMW did not manufacture san automobile until 1928 when the Dixi, a sedan based on the Austin 7, was introduced. The model went on to enjoy substantial popularity. Just a year later, the DA 1 was released and equipped with a four-cylinder engine capable of 15 horsepower. During the latter part of the 1930s, BMW got a boost of performance they were looking for, as the Type 328 Roadster performed impressively on the racetrack leading up to World War II.
Following the war, BMW released the 501, a full-size sedan outfitted with a six-cylinder engine. The 501 also featured a roomy, comfortable interior since it was designed to seat six but was instead changed to four. In 1954, the BMW 502 made its debut at the Geneva Auto Show as Germany's first post-war V8-powered car. BMW pushed through even more to the mainstream with the success of the 1500, a compact sedan with an inline four-cylinder engine (80 horsepower). The 70s can be considered one of the most important times in the history of the company. The 3 Series, 5 Series, and 7 Series would all premier during this decade, as would the vaunted M division. BMW of North America arrived in 1975, as well. This would lead to BMW finding its place in a crowded market of competitors, helping carry the brand throughout the 80s and 90s.
In 1998, BMW began supplying Bentley automobiles with engines. Bentley was owned at the time by Vickers, who also owned Rolls-Royce. However, Volkswagen ended up purchasing Bentley, leaving the two German automakers to come to an agreement where BMW would take over Rolls-Royce in 2003. The BMW X3, which premiered for 2004, is a lush, compact luxury crossover while the X5 is BMW's midsize crossover entrant. The 1 Series, which debuted in 2004, represents the only selection of models in its segment offered with rear-wheel drive and a longitudinally-mounted engine, which is one of BMW's biggest strengths: innovation. Sales of BMW models have been extremely strong, especially given the aggressive advertising nature of the company. With plenty of competition coming from Lexus, Volkswagen, Infiniti, and Audi, BMW manages to deliver the kind of exclusive comfort, luxury, and driving enjoyment motorists look for.

Distinctive features, high-tech programming, and alarmingly smooth drivability are attributes that all BMW models share.
