A Look at the Car Manufacturer BMW - What Makes them so Good?
Bayerische Motoren Werke - otherwise known as BMW - carry a reputation that stretches right around the world. The white and blue icon - standing for a propeller spinning through a blue sky (BMW used to develop aeroplane engines) - is a symbol of high quality. The reason we see numerous older BMWs still on the roads is testimony to the enduringness of their engines.
BMWs reflect an understated classiness; lets look at the older generation models of the M3 BMW for example. Anyone who knows anything about performance vehicles will not fail to notice when they see an M3 pass them on the highway. The incredible power under the hood (taking just 5 seconds to reach 60MPH) is disguised by the stock 3 series bodyshell. It’s the elegant design of BMW which adds to the popularity of the brand.
BMW have continually brought out new models, and in the decade have released a number of coupes - the Z and X series, which have bucked the trend of the rather stately 3, 5 and 7 series.
What attracts a number of buyers is the fact that BMW used cars hold their price very well, due to the quality of build, and enduringness of BMW vehicles. In fact, it’s notable just how often you come across a BMW dealer on the main street, due to the great need for used BMW cars.
BMW have always been at the forefront of engine science - for example, their ongoing interest in the F1 championships affords them an opportunity to examine their knowledge of racing engines in a racing environment. Away from F1 competition, BMW were awarded Engine Of The Year Award 2009 for 3 out of the 11 categories which underlines their commitment to engine optimization and performance.
