BMW, or Bayerische Motoren Werke, was founded on 7 March 1916 in Bavaria, with roots in aviation-related firms before the name became established between 1917 and 1922. The company entered the automobile business in 1928 after acquiring Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach, launching a lineage of premium cars defined by performance and engineering focus. The early motorcycle R32 set a world speed record that stood until 1937, cementing BMW's reputation for technical innovation. Iconic models include the 1936 BMW 328, the 1961 BMW 1500 that launched the Neue Klasse era, the enduring 3 Series, and the high-performance M division cars that blend motorsport DNA with road-going refinement. The brand's roundel logo and commitment to driver-focused engineering have made BMW a global symbol of premium automotive excellence.
From the elegant lines of the E46 generation to the track-bred aggression of the M4 CSL, BMW's model history captures decades of innovation and motorsport success. The M3 Touring represents a modern milestone, blending estate practicality with M division performance, while the compact M2 delivers pure driving engagement in a focused package. Angelo Stirbat's automotive art collaborations bring these machines to life with dramatic compositions that honour BMW's design language and racing heritage. Each poster in this collection captures a specific chapter in BMW's story, celebrating the brand's evolution from Bavarian workshops to one of the world's most revered premium automakers.
