The BMW roundel is a stylised, rotating airscrew - the blue representing the sky. That's right - Bayerische Motoren Werke built military aero engines for the planes that bombed the factories that they now own. It's a funny old world.

My Ride: 530i 6 speed
I think I knew that sometime back. But being originally from Bavaria, it still looks wierd to me.
And the blue and white in the Bavarian flag, I believe, also stands for blue sky and white clouds (thats what the Bavarian hymne says).

[/quote]yep man, HMN is aftermarket fine tuning the best car_BMW so it will be even better
For the black car this blue and white is IMO not the best, the other is black.
Iceman I agree I luv BMW (Bayersche Mist Wagen.-)))
but yours is blue too and for silver it is ok.
As always matter of taste.
