Context

Founded in 1916 as a manufacturer of aircraft engines, BMW touched ground with its first motorbike in 1923 and finally became an automobile manufacturer in 1928. Since then, the company evolved to one of the leading premium mobility providers around the globe. With its MINI, Rolls-Royce as well as BMW Motorrad and car brands, the product portfolio reaches from compact city vehicles to the epitome of luxury and space. Motorsport fans value the performance of BMW M vehicles, while BMW i stands for sustainable mobility solutions without compromise. Since the start of the free-floating car sharing service DriveNow in 2011, BMW keeps raising the bar in innovative digital parking, charging and vehicle sharing solutions.

In the same spirit that BMW kept reinventing itself in the past, now more than ever the company is prepared to adapt to changing customer needs. To that end, we at BMW need your input!
