History Of BMW

            The history of the BMW begins in Germany. It has impacted the process and standards of car manufacturing. .
             In 1913 a German engineer Karl Friedrich Rapp who had been the early director of a successful aircraft company, started his own business to make aircraft engines. He named the Rapp Motoren Werke and set up shop in Munich Germany. He did this because the biggest buyer of his engines was nearby. The company did very well and was contracted to build a large sum of V12 airplane engines to fill a very high demand. Rapp needed a financial backer to do this and in 1916 he renamed the Bayerische Motoren Werke (Bavarian Motor Works). After a financial problem with the company Rapp left. When Rapp left the company Franz Josef Popp took over. He set up BMW as we know it today("BMW Early History").
             BMW made many aircraft engines during WWI. After the war was lost the Versailles Treaty prohibited German companies from producing aircraft and aircraft engines. BMW had to find a new way to stay in business and get income. Again and again BMW had discussed getting into the car business but it was never really necessary until now("History of BMW"). At this time in history German's economy was very bad and inflation was very high. BMW started to make low cost cars in early 1925. They were a success and BMW made a full swing into the automobile business.
             BMW's first car engine was a flat twine cylinder engine that only put out 10 Brake Horse Power (BHP). It was too expensive to be made cheaply at the time so BMW had to look elsewhere. In 1928 BMW bought the Dixi Car Company of Eisenach Germany("BMW Early History"). It began to produce 15BHP twine cylinder engines for its new cars. These new engines did very well and had outstanding reliability for the time.
             In 1930 BMW began work on a new four-cylinder engine, which increased their cars output by 5BHP. The engine was advanced for its time. It had overhead valves and plain instead of roller bearings.
