2 of BMW’s 2 seasons ran before 1958 and read none in the Champ column. There was no constructors’ championship to be placed in until then, so that is history rather than a gap in the import: f1_constructor_standings covers 69 seasons against the drivers’ 77, and the eight missing ones are the eight that were never contested. Champ pts is the championship total from the standings; Race pts is the sum of the points scored in Grands Prix, and the two do not have to agree. 145 of 924 constructor-seasons differ, because the championship dropped a team’s weaker results for much of the period before 1991, and because sprint points have counted toward it since 2021 while this archive holds the Grand Prix result alone. Entries counts CAR entries: a two-car team scores two on every start. Wins read position_text, so a shared car credits the constructor once per winning driver. Titles count completed seasons only, which excludes 2026: it is loaded only as far as the rounds that have been run.

Every driver with at least one race result for BMW, from 1950 to 2026. The Seasons column is that driver’s span AT THIS CONSTRUCTOR, not the span of their career; a driver who left and came back shows the outer years, and their own page carries the break. Entries and points are this constructor’s alone, so a driver who split a season between two teams is counted here for the part they drove for this one.

The badge is the lead image of this constructor’s Wikipedia article, taken only where that image was measured to be a mark rather than a photograph: 70 of 214 constructors have one, 25 lead with a picture of a car and 118 have no free image at all.
