BMW got this name as a result of an argument over what his marking says, he had either a horizontal B, an M or an upside down W on his left thigh and hence called them all three letters.

BMW’s ancestry is unknown as he was born before the park was frequented very much and few records were kept. It is probably that he came in from the south, maybe from the Maharashtra part of Pench Tiger reserve in 2009 or outside the tourism zone, because he was initially shy of the daylight activities in his new territory.

He soon had a range that covered the southern boundaries of the reserve within Madhya Pradesh itself and bordering the Pench dam, whose waters ebbed and flowed depending on the season. This rich landscape with its profusion of grazing deer is perfect for a stable full of tigresses but constant pressure from Sula his closest rival, and a workmanlike mentality means he is constantly on the move making sure his neighbourhood was secure.

BMW as been courting with two tigresses Badi Maa and Baghin Nalla.
