BMW became a car manufacturer because Germany lost World War I

in bmw •  7 years ago 

BMW originally started off as an aircraft manufacturing company. After Germany's defeat in WWI, all airplane manufacturing companies had to cease production, one of the many terms of the Versailles Armistice Treaty. With the company facing bankruptcy, BMW shifted to motorcycle production, soon followed by the manufacture of cars in 1928. Their current logo is a tribute to their aviation heritage.97536311.jpg
