Is Rolls-Royce 100% owned by BMW?
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited is a British luxury automobile maker that has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of BMW AG since 2003 – as the exclusive manufacturer of Rolls-Royce-branded motor cars. Before BMW became the powerhouse behind Rolls Royce Engines, Rolls-Royce Motors manufactured its own engines. The British company was famous for its in-house engineering, producing legendary engines like the L-series V8, which powered models such as the Silver Shadow and the Silver Spirit.
