Bayerische Motoren Werke was formed on March 7th, 1916 as BFW (Bayerische Flugzeugwerke), a company that primarily made airplane engines. In the century that followed, the company set records for altitude and speed, redefined an entire segment of the market, and dominated on racetracks around the world. Oh yeah, and it also built its very own Lamborghini and erected a 22-story homage to car engines. To celebrate the company's big 100th birthday, first we took a look at the all-time best BMWs from the past 10 decades. Then we dug deep, and found a whole bunch of things you probably didn't know about BMW.
