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.
You are most correct. The Werke is pronouced Verke!!!!!!!!!! In German, Ws => Vs Vs =>Fs
Folkswagen. Ja.
CVT Benhogan
PS Is BMW most owned by the original family?? Somewhat like the Ford Family, albeit they're ownership % in Ford has likely declined thru the decades.
That says it all dudes!

"Break My Window"
In the late 70's, and fresh out of High school and I starting working for the public safety dept., in the EMS section,
Before I even thought of purchasing a BMW in 2004, a lot of my local Marietta GA police friends was telling me they were receiving daily reports (NCIC) that a lot of BMW's were getting broken into on the side of the roadways in the NYC area, and the perpatraitors 
were breaking out the BMW's windows to gain their entry,,,and the police in NYC out of frustration having to work these many calls gave BMW's their own name: "BMW stands for: Break My Window" (LOL) sad, but a true story ...
