Gründung der BBS |
| 1970 |
Establishment of BBS. BBS is born when Heinrich Baumgartner and Klaus Brand set up a production facility for plastic car body parts in Schiltach. Baumgartner, a racing enthusiast and inventor, is obsessed with the idea of an aluminum wheel. |
| 1972 |
Multi-piece motorsport wheel. In 1972, the company succeeded in designing a three-piece wheel. It was approved by car manufacturer Ford for use on the Capri RS 2600. The three-piece racing wheel with a cast aluminum wheel center and a rolled aluminum rim was groundbreaking. |
| 1975 |
The cross spoke. The BBS cross-spoke wheel begins its triumphant advance – first as a three-piece version, later as a one-piece version, which BMW orders as original equipment. |
| 1975 |
Technology from motorsport. Whether in the German Racing Championship, with Porsche in the World Championship for Production Cars, or in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the company from the Black Forest became the benchmark in motorsport as a wheel supplier. By the end of the 1970s, BBS wheels were fitted to most racing touring cars and, increasingly, to road-going tuned cars. |
| 1992 |
For Ferrari. The lightest forged and rotation-rolled magnesium wheel is manufactured in Formula 1. |
