EMW 340/2 - 1952 by Perico001 EMW : Eisenacher Motorenwerk
The BMW plant in Eisenach was a Soviet state-owned enterprise up until 1952. The factory started manufacturing pre-war passenger cars again in 1946. A newly designed passenger car - the BMW 340 - went into mass production in 1949. It was equipped with a six-cylinder, four-stroke engine that had already been in production in Eisenach prior to the Second World War.
In 1951, a legal dispute over the brand name BMW broke out between the company headquarters in Munich and the production site in Eisenach. The plant was no longer permitted to use the name after 1952, and instead operating as EMW.
EMW production was abandoned in 1953 in favor of the F9. Of the 21.000 EMW cars produced in total 8.000 were exported. They were often used in East Germany as government, police and medical emergency vehicles, and as taxis.
