BMW cars for sale in South Africa

BMW

BMW is recognised for producing high quality vehicles that offer superb performance and luxury.

BMW was founded in the early 1910 and originally manufactured aircraft engines. BMW struggled for relevance after World War II, and eventually found its footing during the 60s and 70s by producing compact, sporty models like the BMW 2002.

Today BMWs are among the most popular cars available in the market. Nowadays, BMW produces everything from high performance sports cars to spacious SUVs, to grand luxury cars and family vehicles making it one of the most successful European automotive brands in history.

BMW is internationally accepted as being a quality producer of vehicles offering performance of a powerful sports car coupled with the luxury of a luxury sedan.

Many of the models that have been introduced in the popular 3-Series, 5-Series, and 7-Series and throughout the years have come to define the very segment of the vehicle market it inhabits.

In the late 1990s, BMW acquired both Rolls Royce and the Mini brand.
