Innovation and the Move Toward Electrification
In recent years, BMW has adopted a focus on sustainability and digital innovation. Its BMW i sub-brand was introduced in 2011, debuting with the fully electric BMW i3 and the plug-in hybrid BMW i8. The brand continues to expand its electric vehicle lineup with the BMW iX, i4, and i7, showcasing its commitment to the future of mobility.
BMW’s cutting-edge technology, including iDrive, advanced driver-assistance systems, and a focus on connected services, ensures the brand remains at the forefront of the modern automotive landscape.
Global Expansion and Motorsport Success
BMW's entry into motorsport further bolstered its image, with the M division (BMW Motorsport GmbH) established in 1972. Iconic performance models, such as the M1, M3, and M5, have become benchmarks in their respective segments. At the same time, BMW expanded globally, building production facilities in the United States, South Africa, and other key markets.
The company also launched its flagship models, including the 3 Series, 5 Series, and 7 Series – each becoming synonymous with quality, luxury, and performance. By the late 20th century, BMW was a major player in both the premium and sports car segments worldwide.

The History of BMW
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, more commonly known as BMW, has become one of the world’s most recognised and respected automotive brands. Renowned for its premium engineering, dynamic driving experience, and innovation, BMW’s journey from aircraft engines to cutting-edge electric vehicles is a testament to over a century of technological evolution and design excellence.
Early Origins: From Aviation to cars
BMW was established in 1916 in Munich, Germany, originally as an aircraft engine manufacturer. The company’s blue and white logo represents the colours of the Bavarian flag and is often mistakenly believed to depict a spinning propeller – a nod to its early aviation roots. Following the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which restricted Germany’s ability to produce aircraft, BMW shifted its focus to motorcycle and later automobile production.
In 1923, BMW launched its first motorcycle, the R32, which set the stage for its commitment to high-performance engineering. By 1928, the company had acquired Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach and began producing cars, starting with the BMW 3/15, based on the British Austin 7.
Frequently Asked Questions – BMW Leasing Deals
Yes, leasing a BMW can be a smart choice, particularly if you enjoy driving the latest models and prefer fixed, manageable monthly payments without the long-term commitment of ownership. Leasing allows you to drive a brand-new BMW every few years with the latest safety features, technology, and fuel efficiencies. It also typically includes manufacturer warranties, which can help reduce maintenance costs. For many drivers, especially business users, leasing offers tax advantages and better cash flow management. It’s a practical way to enjoy premium motoring without tying up large amounts of capital.
Yes, BMW offers leasing options directly through BMW Financial Services, as well as through authorised brokers like Silverstone Leasing. Whether you're looking for a personal lease or a business contract hire, you can lease models across the BMW range – from the compact 1 Series to the fully electric BMW iX. Leasing through an independent broker can often give you access to a broader selection of deals, terms, and funders, potentially resulting in more competitive pricing than going direct to the dealership.
While car leasing offers many benefits, there are some potential downsides to consider:
-
Mileage Limits: Most lease agreements include annual mileage limits. Exceeding these limits can result in additional charges.
-
Wear and Tear: You’re expected to return the vehicle in good condition. Excess wear and tear may result in extra fees at the end of the lease.
-
No Ownership: At the end of the lease, you hand the car back. If you prefer to own your vehicle outright, leasing may not suit you.
-
Early Termination Costs: Ending a lease early can be expensive and is usually discouraged unless absolutely necessary.
-
Modification Restrictions: Lease cars must be returned in their original condition, meaning you can't customise the car in a way that’s not reversible.
Understanding the terms and choosing the right mileage and contract length is essential to avoid these issues.
The cost of leasing a BMW per mile can vary depending on the model, contract length, deposit, and annual mileage allowance. However, if you're asking about excess mileage charges, these are typically outlined in your lease agreement. For BMWs, excess mileage fees generally range from 6p to 15p per mile, depending on the model and funder.
If you’re calculating the effective cost per mile over the full lease term (e.g., dividing total lease cost by total allowed miles), this could be anywhere from 30p to 70p per mile, depending on the specifics of your deal. Our team at Silverstone Leasing can help you find a plan that fits your driving habits to avoid unexpected charges.
