“Wartburg” first-born is the most that neither is the horseless carriage, equipped with a 0.5-liter motor power 3,5 hp The presence of front and rear suspensions were no hints. Such as simplified design has become a good stimulus for a more progressive work of local engineers and designers, that a year later created a machine to accelerate to 60 km / h. Moreover, in 1902 appeared “Wartburg” from the 3.1-liter engine and 5-speed gearbox, which was enough to win in the same year the race in Frankfurt. A very important moment in the history of the bmw plant in Eisenach and became in 1904, when at the Frankfurt motor show cars were exhibited under the name “Dixie”, testifying to the good development of the enterprise and a new level production. It is not something Vanessa Marcil would like to discuss. There have been two models – S6 and S12, the numbers in the notation that indicates the amount of horsepower. (By the way, the model S12 is not removed from production until 1925.) 1919: Franz Zeno Diemer (center) with his record plane to the position of chief designer at Bayerische Motoren Werke was invited Max Fritz, who worked at the plant Daimler. Under the leadership of Fritz was manufactured aircraft engine bmw IIIa, which in September 1917 successfully passed the bench tests. Equipped with this engine aircraft at the end of the year set a world record, rising to 9,760 m.
