BMW - The Ultimate Driving Machine

During the past eighty four (86) years, BMW has made many great cars. Our list includes all BMW production models. Additionally we try to mention versions of the cars made by different coach makers when based upon specific BMW drive train. As a pure curiosity we have added some rare customized cars. Additional pages were made for M-cars and Alpina cars, which basically use the same although often reinforced body with another power train.

 

Establishing the brand:

First Austin Seven licensed cars - from October 1928 BMW Dixi (license bought by BMW with the factory in Eisenach, which has been producing Dixi's since 1927);
