Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) (related through Bayer AG)

Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) is a German company renowned for designing and manufacturing luxury vehicles and motorcycles. Originally, BMW was involved in producing aircraft engines during World War I and later diversified into automobiles and motorcycles. Although it shares the Bayer name, BMW operates independently from Bayer AG, a global pharmaceutical and chemicals company. The connection is historical; both companies originated in the same Bavarian region, but they are separate entities today. BMW is known worldwide for its high-quality, performance-oriented cars that emphasize driving pleasure and innovative technology.
