Paradise for BMW engineers. The legendary BMW M1 made history in 1978. It represented the dawn of BMW M cars. It also immediately became the fastest German-built road-going sports car. The M1's no-compromise appearance was the first sign of the central philosophy of BMW M: exclusive race-bred ability made available for the road. Free from compromise yet practical in everyday use. In short, motorsport technology channelled into series production. For the past three decades, BMW M cars have stood for custom-built sporting prowess – right down to the last detail. The moment you climb inside, the exclusivity is apparent. Wherever you look, or touch, workmanship and materials radiate quality. Even the aroma of the interior distinguishes an M car as an exclusive, luxurious vehicle. Yet luxury does not come at the expense of practicality. The interior is designed ergonomically around the driver so that each element is intuitive and rewarding to use.

    LEGENDS 2016 BMW M1 PROCAR The BMW M1 Procar Championship was a one-make car racing series, founded by Jochen Neerpasch – former head of BMW Motorsports. The Procar racing series was especially created for the BMW M1 and held in the years 1979 & 1980. The idea of this series was to give the most talented private drivers an opportunity to compete against top Formula 1 drivers under identical conditions and was staged as a warm-up race ahead of selected European Formula 1 Grand Prix. Alongside the five fastest Formula 1 drivers in the Friday training session, drivers specializing in touring cars and ambitious private drivers competed against each other – a mixture with particular appeal to the public. Both Procar Championships have been won by a Formula 1 Driver – 1979 Niki Lauda took the overall win and was followed 1980 by Nelson Piquet.

  • BMW History BMW in the 1910S - the Beginning
    BMW history BMW in the 1910s - the beginning To better understand BMW today you have to know and understand BMW history. The last century gives the “flavor” of today’s BMW cars, the ingredient that makes them so special. This “special” can be almost seen as the soul of a person. BMW cars have an unmistakably personality and an obsessive care about the feeling of driving, thus their slogan "the ultimate driving machine". This creates a bond between the car and the driver that may last for a lifetime. These three magic letters stand for Bayerische Motoren Werke, or in English, Bavarian Motor Works. The "Motor" is the core of this acronym and is the foundation; the key part around which BMW builds every product. BMW Drives invites you to be part in this amazing trip and you will find out the story that lies behind BMW. HOW BMW PROGRESSED FROM THIS TO 1913 The man who started all was Karl Friedrich Rapp in October 1913. Not everybody knows that BMW started as a manufacturer of aircraft with Austro-Daimler, who was unable to meet its demands that of building V12 Aero engines under license. The company expanded too quickly, and by 1916 Karl Friedrich Rapp resigned from the company because of financial troubles. The company was taken over by two Austrians Franz- Josef Popp and Max Fritz backed by a Vienna engines. Rapp establishes "Rapp-Motorenwerke" in a former bicycle factory near Munich. He starts manufacturing his own aircraft engines but unfortunately they suffered form problems with vibrations. Close to Rapp´s factory, Gustav Otto, the son of the inventor of the four-stroke internal combustion engine, sets up a business building small aircrafts.

  • The Ultimate Driving Machine” BMW: Propelling a Century of Innovation Will Highlight the German Manufacturer’S Vehicles and History
    America’s Car Museum Celebrates 100 Years of “The Ultimate Driving Machine” BMW: Propelling a Century of Innovation will highlight the German manufacturer’s vehicles and history Contact:PCG – Eric Pylvanainen (424) 903-3685 ([email protected]) ACM – Ashley Bice (256) 506-6195 ([email protected]) TACOMA, Wash. (May 2, 2016) – To celebrate 100 years of BMW, America’s Car Museum (ACM) is opening a new exhibit on May 7 – “BMW: Propelling a Century of Innovation” – to highlight some of the brand’s most gripping vehicles. BMW has amassed a strong sub-culture by redefining performance luxury vehicles, such as the 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL, 1988 BMW E30 M3 and the forward- looking 2016 BMW i8, which are all in the display. While BMW began manufacturing airplane engines in 1916, it wasn’t until 1932 when the Munich- based company put together its first automobile. It built a reputation for producing exciting cars at the same time that the German autobahn was conceived. In the 1970s, BMW began marketing as “The Ultimate Driving Machine” and has used the tagline for countless iconic road cars since. The slogan, coined under the guidance of industry luminary Bob Lutz, is widely recognized as one of the best of all auto manufacturers and has served BMW well for the past 42 years. To pay respect to such a storied brand, ACM enlisted the help of several of its long-time backers – including Puget Sound BMW Centers, renowned BMW collector Peter Gleeson and Brooks Motor Works owner Kevin Brooks – to ensure that BMW: Propelling a Century of Innovation would have an unmatched assortment of vintage and modern BMWs for guests of all ages.
