For those that live or plan on visiting the Tacoma, Washington area this summer they can view a number of BMW's iconic racing cars. The Heroes of Bavaria exhibit opens in May at the LeMay - America's Car Museum. The brainchild of the BMW Car Club of America (CCA) Foundation last year. The exhibit proved to be very popular with BMW enthusiasts from the east coast and Europe.

Unlike most of the manufacturers displaying their wares at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show, which opened to the public on Friday December 1st, BMW's stage was devoid of any cars when the media arrived Wednesday morning. What an odd feeling to be there with only doors marked with the words; M PERFORMANCE, LUXURY, ELECTRIFIED.

Continuing from BMW: Celebrating 100 Years Of History In Monterey (Part 1)
2016 marks 100 years of production for BMW although the actual production of automobiles did not officially begin until 1929 with the DA2 3/15 PS. Without going into a history lesson BMW was established as an aircraft engine manufacturer, in 1923 expanding into motorcycles, and 1928 automobiles. The famous logo that we now recognize came into existence around July 1917.
