@Ken Slightly wrong. BMW used to be EMW, which stands for Eisenacher Motoren Werke. The propellor was red and white. After WWII Eisenach happened to be in the Russian sector and the Company escaped to Bavaria. The colors of Bavaria are white and blue
The letters on a black outline are from when bmw and another company joined together and they wanted to.combine the emblems. Both were circles stop they kept the letters in the same spot.
The inverted the colour pattern of the emblem because of how the German empire at the time was against anything that would go against the unification of the nation. So a pro Bavarian company was out of question.
You would be educating them slightly wrong my friend. Yes the propeller stands for their aeronautical history but the colors stand for the free state of Bavaria. Which is where BMW was born.
I never knew what the 3 colors signified. Now I know, thank you. :-) I like educating people on the white propeller against a blue sky.
lol my dad had a 2002 turbo, got nicked at 118, said it was pretty damn fast. but this waass the seventies so..
@Adham the 2002 were actually pretty quick for the time because they were light weight. There also faster variants like the 2002 turbo and the tii
Looks like a 2002. Awesome little car. Remember this was the days of the mini cooper so this car had mini speed with sedan practicality.
Rather have a BMW. Sporty style and class. And mines never broke down on me like my garbage ass new mustang.
Love watching clips from those old road races... Big v8 american cars destroying the straightaways, then getting carved up by little European cars in the corners.
Yes they are that's why we've really enjoyed the one we have and past ones. It's an addictive feeling ha.
Bimmers new and old are great!! They are the ultimate driving machine!!!!
Imo, that body type of camaro was the ugliest ever. Ive tried to like them......cant do it.
Meant to write E28
E32 is an old 7 series. Not an m5
If he did say he wanted to be like buick it was because, back then they were one if the top luxury makers.
@Phillip who is the founder btw BMW was a merger of three companies who were all more interested in making aircraft engines than cars. If they aspired to be like any one it was Mercedes who they tried to merge with a few times.
Were struggling from a post war economy and half their factories and engineers got engulfed by the ussr
E30 m3. The only times I can think when their cars sucked are when they were at war and their factories were used to make airplane engines or were bombed. If he said he wanted them to be more like Buick it probably had to do with sales numbers since
3.0cs that had fuel injection in 1971. There was a csl version too which won its class in lemans. Obviously there was the m1. There was the 1985 E32 m5 which was the fastest sedan in the world at the time. Hopefully I don't have to talk about the
In fact the 328 was so advanced that the brits stole one and a BMW engineer do they could duplicate it with the Bristol 400. the 1937 327 which had a very progressive design is another example. There's the 507 which is just incredible. There was the
In its class at lemans
The performance division benchmark of any automaker!
The m's from 1999-2000 have the s52 which is the e36 m3 engine and but mines a 2002 and its got the s54 engine which us the e46 m3 engine.
Glad we are all in agreement.
Morons are gonna moronize. The corvette articles were great don't get me wrong. But the astronauts driving a vette article or Elvis and what not we're simply not needed.
Haters gonna hate.
You'll be seeing more and more and more of the M article too. I'm a Corvette mark and yeah after they covered each series I would have just added the Grand Sport article, and have it include the ALMS C5/C6-R.
I found the. Corvette articles interesting. Until they made more and more and more and the they made more and more
Lol really? Cause the original Bimmers were crap. There was an interview where I read that the founder of BMW actually wanted to make the Buick of Germany. It was an interesting read, and you have to remember Buick used to be an amazing car maker.
YES MUCH BETTER THAN THE CORVETTE ARTICLES
Does yours have the m52 or is it different since its the M?
Cant wait until you get to my car the z3 m couple
