Disagree, the letters BMW stand for Bayerische Motoren Werke. The term Aktiengesellschaft (abbreviated AG) means a corporation which is limited by shares, i.e., owned by shareholders. It may be traded on the stock market. This suffix is part of the legal name of the corporate entity. But the three letters BMW still stand Bayerische Motoren Werke. When BMW was first established it was not an AG. Anyway, I had better stop now for fear of starting a potentially endless semantic argument.
