Shopping for a new BMW vehicle? This high-performance manufacturer is popular in Ontario, but many want to know who owns BMW. BMW is controlled by the BMW group, which is located in Munich, Germany. BMW of Ontario has more information on who makes BMW and where below!
BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke. This translates simply to “Bavarian Motor Works”. Many Chino Hills drivers may be surprised that BMW isn’t run by another parent company, like so many other auto manufacturers. BMW is still owned by BMW; indeed, it actually controls two other well-respected brands, Rolls Royce and MINI.
BMW shares are half-owned by old investors in the company. 23.7% is owned by Stefan Quandt, a german engineer and industrialist. Another 19.2% is owned by his sister–an economist who also owns the company Altana–Susanne Klatten. Just over half of the remaining shares are part of what is known as the “Public Float,” representing all the publicly-owned shares of the BMW group.
