As the means of production came to controlled by fewer and fewer people (capitalists), many workers never saw what they produced; they contribued some small part to manufacturing (think of the workers on the auto assembly line), but never created something.
BMW History. The BMW brand is synonymous with luxury automobiles and value. BMW car prices start between $30,025 and $103,225. The entry-level 1 Series and the top-of-the-line M6 model represent the cheapest and most expensive of all BMW models respectively. Since 1916, the company known as BMW today has held several different names, and has owned several other automotive brands.
In the scheme of things, these automobiles are expensive. That's not true when stacked up against Rolls-Royces and the like, but it's true when comparing BMWs to many other cars. The 1-Series, for example, has a starting MSRP of $31,200. The M3 coupe, on the other hand, has a starting MSRP of $60,100.
