BMW (abbreviated as BMW) is a German automobile brand under the BMW Group. It has four model lines: i, X, Z, and pure numerical series (1, 2, 3, etc.), as well as the M series (BMW's official high-performance modification division) based on improvements to these series. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Logo. The B.M.W. in the BMW logo stands for Bavarian Motor Works, and the colors and combination of the logo come from the state emblem of Bavaria, where BMW is located. 2. Development history: BMW, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (German: Bayerische-Motoren-Werke-AG, or BMW). BMW is one of the world's renowned automobile companies and a pioneer in the premium automobile manufacturing industry. BMW was founded in 1916 and is headquartered in Munich, Germany. Over the past 80 years, it has evolved from an aircraft engine manufacturer into an enterprise group that focuses on premium cars and also produces globally renowned aircraft engines, off-road vehicles, and motorcycles, ranking among the top 20 automobile companies in the world. BMW is also translated as "Bayer" in some contexts.
I've been fascinated by automotive history since childhood. BMW's official name is Bayerische Motoren Werke, which translates to Bavarian Engine Manufacturing Company in English. The name originates from Bavaria, Germany, where it was founded in 1916 initially producing aircraft engines before transitioning to automobile manufacturing. We longtime owners remember its iconic blue-and-white roundel logo, symbolizing the sky and propeller, which has evolved to represent sportiness and luxury today. BMW enjoys global prestige, and in China we affectionately call it "Bao Ma" (Treasure Horse), a vivid name that evokes the feeling of riding a prized steed. Whether you choose a BMW 3 Series or X5, you get not just formidable performance but also exceptional reliability - my decade-old model has had minimal issues. However, maintenance should always be done at authorized shops; don't compromise driving pleasure by cutting corners.
