Who makes BMWs?

Who owns BMW? I’m thinking about my next vehicle, so I’ve been doing some research about car brands lately. I want to know more about BMWs, who makes them, and where they’re manufactured.

BMWs
are made by the Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengeselleschaft, which translates to Bavarian Motor Works. This group is owned by the parent company BMW Group.
BMW Group’s headquarters are located in Munich, Germany, which is where most of the company’s manufacturing plants are. But there are also branches in China, Great Britain, and Austria.
