The Evolution of BMW: From Aircraft Engines to Electric Cars

BMW's story began more than a century ago with aircraft-engine roots—and eventually became one of the world's most recognizable automotive brands. In this episode of Automotive Frontier, we trace BMW's transformation from its beginnings in 1916 through the post-war years, the crisis of the late 1950s, the revolutionary Neue Klasse of the 1960s, BMW Motorsport and the rise of BMW M, the 3 Series, the X5, the BMW i3 and today's Neue Klasse. We also look at how electrification, software, computing and new vehicle architectures are changing BMW once again. Automotive Frontier explores the cars, technology and innovations that shaped the automobile—and the technologies that could define its future.
