Car Insurance For A BMW

If you’re like most people, you didn’t know, until now, that BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Motor Works in English. A German automobile, motorcycle, and engine manufacturer, BMW has been making high-quality luxury vehicles since its founding in 1916.

BMW also owns the Mini brand and the super luxury Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. BMW motorcycles are popular, but the brand is best known for its luxury vehicles and is a global leader in auto sales. Here’s a fun fact: BMW also manufactured aircraft engines until they were forced to cease production due to the Versailles Armistice Treaty in 1919.

BMW consistently beats out other competitive brands like Lexus and Mercedes-Benz and, as of November 2010, has sold 238,157 vehicles year-to-date in the U.S., making them the top luxury automobile brand in the U.S.

BMW’s may be top-of-class, but that also makes them more expensive to insure; they’re expensive, powerful, fast and favorites of the luxury sports vehicle enthusiast. Several BMW models rank as the most expensive vehicles in the U.S. to insure, including the BMW X6, the BMW M3, the BMW M5, and the BMW M6 thanks to their well-built engines, sporty performance capabilities, and superior speed potential.
