It does not own Rolls-Royce plc, the separate aerospace and industrial technology business. That company sits under Rolls-Royce Holdings plc. The shared name can make the two businesses easy to confuse, so the key is to distinguish the car maker from the aerospace company.
Which company makes Rolls-Royce cars?
The current car maker is Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd. The company says it is a wholly owned subsidiary of BMW Group, operates from Goodwood near Chichester in West Sussex, and began business there on 1 January 2003. It is a separate legal entity from Rolls-Royce plc. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars: Ownership
So, if you are asking who owns the maker of current Rolls-Royce cars, the answer is BMW Group.

Rolls-Royce plc is a separate company whose business includes civil and military aerospace, ships, submarines, and land-based power systems. Its parent is Rolls-Royce Holdings plc. Neither is the parent of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd.; the car company is owned by BMW Group. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars: Ownership

How did BMW come to own the car brand?
BMW Group’s history separates two milestones: it acquired the Rolls-Royce motor-car brand in July 1998, then took over brand responsibility for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in 2003. The current Goodwood business also dates its start to 1 January 2003. The brand acquisition and the start of the new car company are related, but they are not the same event.

Why are there two Rolls-Royce businesses?
The name reflects a history in which the motor-car and aero-engine activities separated over time. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars’ heritage account places the separation of the motor-car and aero-engine activities in 1971. Its clarification explains that the Motor Car Division was floated as a separate company in 1973, while the aero-engine business returned to private ownership in 1987 as Rolls-Royce plc. These are stages in the businesses’ history—not evidence that today’s BMW-owned Rolls-Royce Motor Cars existed in its current form in 1971.
