Yes. Rapp made airplane engines. Karl Rapp's contract was eventually terminated. With Karl Rapp now gone, the company needed to rename itself. The company changed its name to Bayerische Motorenwerke.
Rapp's logo had a black horse on it. BMW scrapped that. However, BMW did retain some of the characteristics of the Rapp logo. One difference, though, is that BMW put the Bavarian national colors on the logo (in place of the horse). But BMW did arrange its letters in the same orientation as Rapp.

i can't recall the exact issue, but there was a great review of various BMW books in Roundel - the BMW CCA magazine. It mentioned one of the flaws of the book in this thread being the perpetuation of the propeller myth. sure makes a great story, though!
there was a review of some bmw books in our chapter newsletter recently - some interesting titles out there.....
