They Originally Manufactured Aircraft Engines
Although BMW is now best-known for producing cars, this was not the original purpose of their company; they actually manufactured engines for planes. When the company was first founded, it was during World War I. At this time, there was a huge demand for engines for warplanes. Rapp Motor and Otto Werke merged to create an airplane manufacturing company. The planes they produced were described by Red Baron as the greatest engines in World War I. Their aircraft engines became well-known for high-altitude performance and fuel efficiency.
