Dixi was a car marque used by the Eisenach-based manufacturer Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach (later Automobilwerk Eisenach) and, after BMW acquired the Eisenach plant in 1928, it was applied to the company’s licensed small car derived from the Austin Seven.[1][2] The Austin-based Dixi 3/15 PS was produced at Eisenach under licence, and from July 1929 it was marketed as the BMW 3/15 PS (DA 2), after which the "Dixi" name was phased out in BMW badging. The first 100 cars were supplied by Austin as kits, but by December 1927 the first of the official Dixi-manufactured vehicles, the DA-1 3/15PS were coming off the production line. The DA designation stood for Deutsche Ausführung, meaning German Version; 3/15 indicated the taxation and actual horsepower ratings. Apart from being left-hand drive and using metric fasteners, the car was nearly identical to the Austin. Body styles available were coupé, roadster, tourer, and sedan with a few chassis going to external coachbuilders. Most cars left the factory as tourers. Looking to move into automobile manufacturing, BMW bought the Automobilwerk Eisenach in 1928 and, with it, the rights to build the Dixi car. At first the cars were badged as BMW Dixi but the Dixi name was dropped in 1929 when the DA-1 was replaced by a slightly updated version, the BMW 3/15 DA-2.

The Dekra Classic Car Day in Oranienburg is a beautifully organized and impressive event (check out the website). One of the friendly staff members told me that the classic car inspection is actually free of charge on this day—just give them a call beforehand to check. I really enjoyed myself; I had many pleasant conversations with lovely people and discovered some rare gems that were a real feast for the eyes. Note: Due to the (really good) music, I had to mute the audio on most of the videos to avoid copyright issues—something I naturally have to respect. So, just let the beautiful, impeccably maintained classic cars speak for themselves. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy the video!“ Source: call of terra / amabael Visit: https://www.dekra.de/de/oranienburg/ Text: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_Dixi Special: Organic Beetroot Juice: https://amzn.to/3NVMb7N Organic beetroot juice helps to improve the oxygen supply in the blood and thus increase performance by up to 20%!
