Who owns Rolls Royce?

Who owns Rolls Royce?

Rolls Royce is currently owned by BMW. The history of their ownership is somewhat complicated; Rolls Royce and Bentley had a partnership so when Volkswagen bought Bentley in 1998 and BMW made a bid for Rolls Royce (but weren't successful in acquiring the entire company), Volkswagen and BMW entered into negotiations. After 2003 BMW created Rolls Royce Motor Cars Limited to eliminate any licensing issues, and now Rolls Royce Cars Limited exclusively manufacture Rolls Royce cars.
