I'm confused why you mentioned Rolls-Royce and then in relation to BMW.
The government intervention of RR was nothing to do with the cars.
The original Rolls-Royce company, which included the car division, was nationalized by the British government in 1971 due to financial issues with its aerospace business.
The car division was separated in 1973.
The parent company, Rolls-Royce plc (nothing to do with cars), was sold to the public in a share offering in 1987, meaning it was no longer government-owned.
