PS--I know the dangers of going to a random link--My computer did not explode after I went to it.

Good stuff.

I always thought the logo was in reference to the checkered scheme of the Bavarian flag and had nothing to do with the image of a spinning propeller even though they were originally renowned for making aircraft engines.

Its ironic that BMW now owns Rolls Royce. During World War II these two companies aircraft engines went head to head in aerial combat. BMW made the engine for the Focke Wulf 190 and Rolls Royce produced the Merlin which was in the Hawker Hurricane, Spitfire and later models of the American P-51 Mustang.

Always love to learn more info about my car, regardless of how useless it may be.

You guys should have watched the CNBC special on Wed, "BMW, a Driving Obsession". Pretty cool stuff.
