About This Quiz
There is no denying that Bayerische Motoren Werke, or BMW as you and I know it, makes some of the most amazing cars presently driving on our roads. Not only do they offer luxury, many gadgets and the utmost comfort, but their performance is simply incredible.
The badge and that famous grille are easily recognized around the world!
But did you know the company, founded in 1916, started out making aircraft engines?
After the First World War, it moved on to first motorcycles and later, automobiles.
Its first car was produced in the late '20's although it was a copy of an Austin model at the time. Thereafter, BMW started making its own cars and designs, and the company quickly established itself as an important automaker, not only in Germany but in the rest of Europe as well.
Following the Second World War, BMW took some time to get back into the business and it was only in the '50's that it began producing vehicles. Much like the company's start in the car manufacturing, it first copied a car under license. This small micro car has become a sought-after model today.
A number of models followed with BMW building its reputation globally as well.
And today, BMW has a range of incredible models in many different categories.
But would you be able to identify BMW models from a single image?
Good luck!
