About BMW

BMW grew out of an aircraft-engine maker founded in Bavaria in 1910 and reorganised in 1916. Today it also owns the Mini and Rolls-Royce brands.

Find your chassis code

  • The Range Rover L322 was developed under BMW ownership. Early cars used a BMW V8 until the 2006 model year and BMW's M57 diesel until 2007.
