EMW, also known as Eisenacher Motorenwerk was a post-war German automobile brand, which emerged as a result of the reorganization of BMW after World War II. In 1952, after a legal dispute with BMW in West Germany, the Eisenach plant stopped using the BMW brand. As a result, they adopted the name EMW. The logo was similar to BMW's, but with a red and white color scheme instead of blue and white. In 1956, EMW ceased to exist as an independent brand when the plant in Eisenach was integrated into the East German state automotive conglomerate called VEB Automobilwerk Eisenach. This went on to produce the Wartburg automobiles, which became the emblem of East German vehicles for the following decades. The models produced by EMW were the 327 and the 340.
