DIXI / EISENACH / GERMANY ( 1904 - 1928 )
Before the name DIXI was used in 1904 the factory started under the name " Fahrzeug Fabrik Eisneach " .
And before it became BMW in 1928 it was DIXI for 24 years.
The most successful vehicle in the company's history was a licensed version of the AUSTIN Seven, which was given the name DIXI DA 1.
Here you see the oval emblem with a yellow
centaur on a blue background. This is the rarest version.

| What was it for ? |
This emblem has never been seen on a car, but what was it for ? The theories differed widely. It was even thought to be a vacuum cleaner emblem. Now I have finally been able to clarify it: it is a motorcycle tank emblem!

| Not only DIXI but also ROSENGART, BANTAM and DATSUN acquired a license from AUSTIN. |
