BMW was born in Munich in 1916 as Bayerische Motoren Werke, which means Bavarian Engine Works. It first built aircraft engines. Motorcycles followed in 1923 and cars in 1928. In the 1960s a new range of sporty saloons put the company back on a sound financial footing.

Touring car champion: a BMW 125i M Sport carried Colin Turkington to the British Touring Car drivers' title in 2014 and 2018. On the road, the F20 was the first 1 Series offered with xDrive all-wheel drive, and it won the Golden Steering Wheel in 2011.

BMW 1502

BMW

1974–1977

The 1502 outlived its siblings: when the first 3 Series replaced BMW's 02 range after nine successful years, it stayed in production for three more. Built in Munich, it was the last of the 02 family and its budget ticket in, a more economical model meant to open the brand to more buyers.

BMW

1966–1975

Only the 2002 sold better: more than 266,967 BMW 1602s were sold up to 1975. The first model of the 02 Series, the two-door saloons that came before the 3 Series, it combined clean design with practicality and set new standards for sporty family cars.
