Not many good answers here..
BMW is the last fully independent car company left.
They are built in Germany or Spartanburg, South Carolina which is where they make some Z4's, the X3, and some of the X5's.
General Motors did make some automatic transmissions for them in the 90's but all the newer stuff is made my ZF. All the older stuff is ZF or Getrag.

no, bmw is not owned by ford. the closest connection bmw has to ford is through the land rover range rover. both bmw and ford had a hand in the production of that vehicle, but that's about all the two car companies have in common.

No, they are not. BMW AG is a company all to its own.
Ford used to own PAG which was Volvo, Jaguar and Aston Martin.
To the poster below me:
Saab is owned by General Motors.

NO! They are made either in Germany or in Virginia USA.
They do, however, have Chevrolet transmissions.
