What Does BMW Stands For?

BMW ... what does it actually stand for?
.
Best Man Wins!
Be My Woman!
Buy Me Wine!
Blame My Wife!!
Brings More Worries!!! (from the monthly car instalments)
.
Well, BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke or Bavarian Motor Company. The company was established in 1913 and based in Munich, Germany. It started out as an aero engine manufacturer, hence the company logo.
.
The logo comprised of four quadrants of alternating white and blue color. It is a stylized representation of an airplane propeller spinning against the clear blue sky. The logo represents a white propeller blade against a blue sky. It reflects the origins of BMW as a maker of military aircraft engines during WWI. Also, white and blue are the traditional colors of Bavaria.
