simke 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2009 Some of you may already know this, but I only learnt about this the other day and found it to be an interesting piece of historical information. After WW2, BMW factory in Eisenach came under Soviet control. They started producing cars which were initially sold as BMWs, however later changed the name to EMW (Eisenacher Motorenwerk). EMW at Wikipedia BMW 340 BMW 327 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellicose 9 Report post Posted October 20, 2009 The 340 is also known as 'The Baroque angel'. I want one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmarco 56 Report post Posted October 21, 2009 I didn't know that. The board must have been thrilled about losing their high volume factory to the Soviets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellicose 9 Report post Posted October 21, 2009 I know of a guy who owns a EMW M1 GT not to be confused with a BMW M1, slightly different. That would be an 'Emerson Motor Works' car, made in NZ. Not the same EMW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
