It's crazy that few days ago I learned what BMW stands for and now I see it everywhere.
it's called the Baader Meinhof effect or frequency illusion

I thought it was Bavarian Motor Works or something? Logo was a propeller? No? This is what I’ve always known it to be.
Correct. It's Bayrische Motoren Werke which translates to Bavarian Motor Factories or maybe Bavarian Motor Workshops.
The German
Werkhas several meanings:Shprockets! Dance!
i'm as happy as a little girrrl
Blessed info
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, is the proper name, but sometimes people anglicized it to Bavarian Motor Works.
