BMW has pursued the singular vision of 'The Ultimate Driving Machine' since Karl Rapp founded the company as an aircraft engine manufacturer in 1916. The M division, established in 1972, gave birth to the concept of the factory-built performance road car. BMW's commitment to rear-wheel-drive dynamics, longitudinally mounted inline-six engines, and driver-focused ergonomics has created one of the most devoted customer bases in the industry.
