🚘 Who Is BMW?

BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke (Bavarian Motor Works), founded in 1916 in Munich, Germany. The brand built its reputation on sporty sedans and “the ultimate driving machine” experience — blending performance, innovation, and German engineering.

  • i Series: Electric or hybrid (e.g., i4, iX, i7)

  • M Models: High-performance variants (e.g., M3, X6 M)

Common terms to know:

  • xDrive = All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

  • sDrive = Rear or Front-Wheel Drive

  • Gran Coupe = Sleek 4-door coupe

  • M Performance = Enhanced sport trim
