Milestones for BMW Automobiles

On its centenary, BMW came out with a list of vehicles the company considers as milestones. Here are four of the most iconic motor vehicles that cemented BMW as the world’s premiere automobile manufacturer:

328 This classic first made its appearance in Nurburgring in 1936. BMW claims this to be the first car to put an emphasis on design, technology, and drive-ability. These three qualities are the fundamentals BMW would use in manufacturing their cars for decades to come.


i3 The i3 may not have been the most commercially-successful BMW car in the history of the company, but the company goes on the record to refer to it as one of the, if not the most forward-thinking production road vehicle ever made.

X5 Released in 1995, the X5 was BMW’s first SUV. It was a pioneer in dynamic maneuverability as well as off-road control. It is also the focal point in BMW’s American operations, being put together in their South Carolina plant.


R80 G/S The R80 G/S was one of the crowning jewels in the motorcycle manufacturing endeavor of BMW. It had great off-road capabilities and also moved smoothly on the road. It has been a template bike for many motorcycle manufacturers in the world.
