Originally known as Rapp Motoren Werke, the Munich-based builder of aircraft engines became BMW AG in 1918. In 1923 it introduced a boxer-engine motorcyle, foreshadowing a design trend that continues to this day. The company introduced its first automobile in 1928. The car, dubbed Dixi, was built under license from an English manufacturer, Austin. The 1930s saw considerable engineering and design progress with the introduction of an inline six-cylinder engine in 1933--a configuration that has long distinguished the brand--and the launch of the renowned 328 Roadster in 1936, a sleek, stylish machine that earned numerous racing victories, including the 1940 Mille Miglia.
