A Brief History of BMW

Plenty of residents in Ferndale and Whatcom County drive BMWs, and there’s a rich history behind this popular brand. The company, named “Bayerische Motoren Werke” (BMW) in 1922, became an automobile manufacturer after acquiring Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach, releasing its first car, the BMW 3/15. During the 1930s, BMW expanded into sports cars and larger luxury vehicles.

After World War II, in 1952, BMW resumed motorcycle and car production, starting with the luxury BMW 501 saloon. The lineup grew again in 1955, but slow sales and low profit margins led to financial difficulties. In 1959, BMW was taken over by Daimler-Benz, marking a pivotal moment in its history.
