Why did Volkswagen give Rolls-Royce to BMW?
Because at that time, Volkswagen only bought the right to use Rolls-Royce's flying goddess and water tank grille. And the rolls-royce factory. I didn't buy the Rolls Royce brand. And at that time, the engine and most parts of Rolls-Royce were provided by BMW. Therefore, it is useless for the public to have a flying goddess. Later, Volkswagen wanted to trade Bugatti's brand for Rolls-Royce's brand rights, but BMW disagreed. Volkswagen believes that it will cost a lot of money to buy Rolls-Royce, while BMW's purchase of the right to use Rolls-Royce trademarks only costs one-tenth of the money that Volkswagen bought flying statues and water tank grilles. It is useless for Volkswagen to hold a "half" Rolls Royce in its hand, so it has to be sold to BMW at a low price. But because BMW bought the trademark, Volkswagen bought the factory and the shape. So BMW still let Volkswagen produce Rolls-Royce in 2003. After 2003, BMW built a new factory to produce Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen used the original Rolls-Royce/Bentley R&D department to produce Bentley.
