A brief history of the car manufacturer BMW

The Bayerische Motoren Werke AG based in Munich is the parent company of the BMW Group, which also produces bicycles under the same name and distributes internationally. In addition, Rolls-Royce and Mini also belong to the BMW Group. The company has its roots in the Rapp Motorenwerke Gmbh, which was established in 1913 and originally designed aircraft engines. It was renamed BMW in 1917. As a result of the Versailles Peace Treaty after World War II in Germany, no new engines were allowed to be developed for aircrafts for several years, and the company began construction of two-wheeled vehicles. The first BMW motorcycle was presented in 1923; the R 23. In 1928, with the acquisition of Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach, BMW began to produce cars as well. Especially since the 1960s, BMW has characterized its models to be especially comfortable with a sporty engine and driving performance. In addition to the sale of new cars, BMW also offers a used car marketplace. You can create your own new BMW model online individually according to your own needs with regards to features and price.

Do you need to buy original BMW parts now?

Many parts of the vehicle are subject to a constant wear and corrosive influences, aging or mechanical and thermal stress. This requires their regular maintenance, as well as replacements at the specified change interval; otherwise it increases the risk of breakdowns or even a lack of safety. The maintenance of the brake system is also important, in particular the brake pads, hydraulic lines, and brake fluid. The latter should be replaced every two years. Corrosion damage is common for the exhaust system, and can lead to holes on the silencers or brittle joints. Defective parts of the electrical system are frequently responsible for breakdowns or poor engine performance, and that's why the battery and the spark or glow plugs should be maintained regularly, along with the ever important road safety vehicle lighting.
