You may think you know the German automaker BMW, however how well do you truly know the brand? Initially established in 1916, the vehicle organization is known the world over for creating extravagance vehicles with complex buildings that produce magnificent execution. Situated in Munich, the automaker has in excess of 122,000 representatives around the globe. In any case, there's something else entirely to the BMW story. Look at these five realities you didn't think about BMW. 

1. BMW's First Car Was the Dixi 

What started as an airplane motor creation organization changed into making vehicles when BMW bought Automobilwerk Eisenach in 1928. The exchange gave BMW the rights to the organization's first vehicle, known as the Dixi. At first, the vehicle was known as the BMW Dixi, however the Dixi moniker was dropped a year later when the organization put out another adaptation of the vehicle. Drivers could purchase the Dixi as a tourer, vehicle, roadster, or car. 

2. BMW's Logo Colors Represent Bavaria 

The BMW logo comprises a dark ring containing the organization name. The ring holds a hover with two blue and two white quadrants. The structure appears to propose a propeller. The propeller hypothesis bodes well given that BMW started as an organization that made motors for planes. In any case, the logo is really founded on the blue and white banner of Bavaria, the government state in Germany where BMW has its base camp. 

3. BMW Created its First Electric Car Decades Ago 

Despite the fact that electric vehicles presently appear to be current and ground breaking, the possibility of an electric vehicle is very old. The main electric vehicle was imagined in 1828. Obviously, electric vehicles experienced a decay and didn't see a genuine recovery until the 1990's. In any case, BMW constructed its first electric vehicle in 1972. 

Sadly, BMW's 1602e never made it to the market. For a certain something, the vehicle's 12-volt batteries held a charge for just around 20 minutes, far shy of what's important for a reasonable electric vehicle. The 1602e's exhibition was about half on a par with the standard vehicle's BMW was creating at that point. Despite the fact that the 1602e never made it to advertise, it laid the basis for future advancements, for example, the 2017 BMW i3 electric vehicle. 

4. BMW Manufactured a Bike That Was the World's Fastest Motorcycle 

In 1937, BMW fabricated a cruiser with a supercharged motor. Intended to be especially streamlined, the cruiser arrived at speeds up to 173.7 miles every hour. BMW's cruiser division, known as BMW Motorrad keeps on making awesome bicycles. Indeed, the organization set new precedents for deals in 2016. 

5. BMW Owns the Mini and Rolls Royce Brands 

For shoppers, it isn't in every case clear which vehicle organizations own which brands. For instance, you may not realize that BMW possesses the two Mini and Rolls Royce, two of the U.K's. most dearest brands. Great and formal, the Rolls Royce brand is a long-term image of a definitive extravagance vehicle that is accessible only to the individuals who can manage the cost of it. Small scale Coopers, then again, are available to more purchasers. 

With its history of development, it's anything but difficult to perceive any reason why BMW has been so fruitful throughout the years.
