Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and VW I'm not sure as to where the BMW logo derives from. In school we were always told that it is a symbolic propeller, as they used to make airplane motors once. Ahh, who cares... Audis are still the best =D Seems like the best cars still come from Germany. Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and VW

Very poor research. Looks like the writer simply interviwed his drinking buddies and ginned up a lot of it. I believe he is sincere, but simply ignorant. By the way, here is something on BMW -- The logo "does not in fact symbolize a spinning propeller according to a BMW spokesman Joerg Huebner (although the imagery did appear in post-WWI advertisements). The BMW roundel badge is believed to have been partially derived from the logo of its predecessor company Rapp Motorenwerke, while ultimately taking on the colors and checkers from the arms of Bavaria" Further, read this which confirms the same, and with good sourcing: http://www.motorcycle.com/news/bmw-roundel-celebrates-90-years-67835.html This whole article is filled with plenty of just plain crap.
