Brandenburgische Motorenwerke GmbH (Bramo for short) was a German company active between 1936 to 1939 for the development and production of aircraft engines in Berlin-Spandau. The company emerged from the Siemens & Halske aircraft engine factory, which began production in Blockwerk I ( Berlin -Siemensstadt) during the First World War. From 1926 this department was spun off into the independent company Siemens-Flugmotorenwerk, Berlin-Spandau and in 1933 it became part of the new Siemens Apparate und Maschinen GmbH (SAM). In 1936, aircraft engine production was separated from SAM as Brandenburgische Motorenwerke GmbH and sold to the German Reich , which had previously demanded an extensive factory expansion, which Carl Friedrich von Siemens rejected.

In the wake of further government demands, Bayerische Motorenwerke (BMW) bought Brandenburgische Motorenwerke GmbH in 1939 and continued to operate the Berlin location as BMW-Flugmotorenwerke Brandenburg GmbH. Today this location is home to the BMW motorcycle factory. In Basdorf north of Berlin, there was a branch plant, BMW's “Werk 9” in Berlin-Spandau, which worked as a supplier for engine production. A terraced housing estate was built there for the employees. On March 22, 1944, the factory in Basdorf was bombed by the Allies.
