The company was established gradually from the aero-engine plant of Siemens & Halske , which in the First World War in block I factory ( Berlin-Siemensstadt ) started production. From 1926 this department was spun off into the independent company Siemens-Flugmotorenwerk, Berlin-Spandau and in 1933 part of the new Siemens Apparate und Maschinen GmbH (SAM). In 1936, aircraft engine production was separated from SAM as Brandenburgische Motorenwerke GmbH and sold to the German Reich , which had previously requested extensive plant expansion, but which Carl Friedrich von Siemens refused.
In the course of further government concentration requirements in 1939 bought Bavarian Motor Works , the Brandenburg Motor Works Ltd. and led the Berlin location as BMW Flugmotorenwerke Brandenburg GmbH on. Today the BMW motorcycle plant is located at this location .
In Basdorf north of Berlin, today a district of Wandlitz , there was a branch, the "Plant 9" of BMW in Berlin-Spandau, which worked as a supplier for engine production. A row house settlement was built there for the employees. On March 22, 1944, the Basdorf plant was bombed by the Allies .
