BMW's origins date back to 1912 when the company was formed after a merger of three German manufacturers. But what do the initials BMW stand for?

The acronym "BMW" stands for "Bayerische Motoren Werke" which loosely translates to Bavarian Motor Works. The name pays tribute to Bavaria, where the company was founded, and at the same time indicates BMW's original focus in the automotive industry.
