BMW was founded over a century ago in 1916 in Bavaria, Southern Germany. The company started off making aircraft and aircraft engines, but was forced to close its factory doors after World War I ended in 1918. The company then picked up the production of motorbikes under the name of BMW Motorrad a few years later and, in 1928, added the manufacturing of automobiles. As of today, BMW owns other iconic automotive brands such as Mini and Rolls-Royce.

The 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, 6 Series, X5 and X6 receive the magic of the M division and are sold as the M2, M3, M4, M6 Gran Coupe, X5 M and X6 M respectively. BMW has also made its foray into the world of green, eco-friendly motoring with its i Series hybrid electric vehicles. Currently, there are only two cars under BMW’s i banner, the i3 and the i8.

Although the company has production facilities spread across the globe, the biggest is its Spartanburg plant in South Carolina. Ever since its inception 25 years ago, BMW has invested over USD 8 billion in this facility, and there’s a further planned investment of USD 600 million between 2018 and 2021. Today, this plant, being staffed by nearly 10,000 employees, can churn out 450,000 BMW vehicles on an annual basis and nearly 70% heads for the export markets.
