it was built in 1928.
They built it in the Eisenbach factory
the car was the Dixi 3/15 PS
It was built under license from Austin and was essentially the same model as the US Bantam and the Japanese Datsun.
what do i win
EDIT: that was the 1st car if thats not the answer your looking for
then
what BMW calls the 1st REAL car was the AM4 built in 1932 also called the 3/20 PS, was the successor to the Dixi and the first production car to be built entirely in-house by BMW.
still amazing that now we have the V10 M5 making 500hp where the dixi made only 15hp and the AM4 made 20hp both with top speeds of 50mph and the M5 tops out in gear 5 of 7 cause of the gov.
