    The origin of the BMW logo

    This is one of my favorite BMW videos. You may, or may not, have seen this. Regardless, I want to make sure it's on the site.

    Great video, Marcus. Up until watching that I, too, believed the logo represented a propeller....

    I'm still a ittle confused as the how the blue and white came to be, he didn't touch on that at all. Also, the very last clip of the guy with the laced trucker gloves made the roundel look so cheap by the way he applied it, maybe it's just me??
    Anyways, great find brotha!! So cool looking at vintage anything!!

    I can't remember where I read/heard it, but iirc it is representative of the Bavarian flag.

    The video, at 2:39, touched on it briefly. The narrator says that BMW "chose the Bavarian national colors as the symbol...."

    Yesterday I heard someone say that the BMW roundel was inspired and patterned after a propeller. Therefore, I am bumping this.
