In the heart of Munich, Germany, during the turbulence of the early 20th century, a company named Bayerische Motoren Werke—better known as BMW—was born. Its roots were in the sky, not the road. Originally founded in 1916, BMW began as a manufacturer of aircraft engines. In fact, the blue and white logo that would one day adorn millions of cars around the world was inspired by a spinning airplane propeller, a nod to its aviation heritage and the colors of the Bavarian flag.

As World War I ended, BMW’s aircraft engine business came to a halt due to the Treaty of Versailles, which forbade German companies from producing warplanes. Faced with this challenge, BMW had to evolve to survive. The company pivoted to making motorcycle engines, and by 1923, it produced its first full motorcycle—the BMW R 32. It was a bold machine, with a unique boxer engine that laid the foundation for BMW’s reputation for precision engineering.

But BMW’s ambitions were not bound to two wheels. In 1928, the company took its next major leap: it bought a car factory in Eisenach and started producing automobiles. Its first car, the BMW 3/15, was a licensed version of the British Austin 7. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was the beginning of something greater. Soon after, BMW began designing its own cars, including the BMW 303, which debuted the now-iconic kidney grille—a feature that would become synonymous with the brand.

As the 1930s rolled into the 1940s, BMW, like many German companies, was pulled into the machinery of war. It produced aircraft engines again during World War II, and when the war ended, the consequences were devastating. Allied bombings had left factories in ruins, and BMW was banned from making vehicles. For a time, the company survived by making pots, pans, and bicycles.
