EMW

One of the pre-World War II BMW factories was located in Eisenach, which after the war was taken over by the Soviets, since Eisenach was situated in the Soviet occupation zone. The factory continued producing cars and motorcycles under the BMW brand, but after a lawsuit in 1952 they had to change the name to EMW instead. The logotype was also similar, but instead of the blue BMW used, EMW used red.

Frazer Nash BMW

AFN Ltd became importers and assemblers of BMW cars in 1934 and sold them branded Frazer Nash BMW.

IHLE

The brothers Rudolf and Fritz Ihle from Bruchsal were motor vehicle masters and started their own business in Bruchsal in 1930. They soon decided to offer special bodies based on common small cars (initially Dixi and BMW, then also DKW, Fiat, Ford and Steyr, etc.). The customer could receive a kit for self-assembly or have his car converted in Bruchsal. Or the brothers bought used cars, technically redesigned them and gave them new outfits.
