The BMW Group: a story of mobility.

“Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG” (BFW) was established on 6 March 1916. In 1922, financier Camillo Castiglioni acquired engine production along with the workforce and production facilities, the company name and the logo in white and blue of “Bayerische Motoren Werke GmbH” and transferred all these assets to “Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG”. Since that point, the establishment of BFW has been recorded as the birthday of Bayerische Motoren Werke.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information are available at www.bmw.de/wltp and at www.dat.de/co2/.
