What's the story behind BMW's logo?

I know, I'm just wondering if you can explain it to me without Wikipedia.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it's not actually a propeller against the blue sky.

Many people believe it was representing a front view of airplane propellor blades but its been proven that the logo came much before the airplanes were built, engine manufacturer company "Rapp" working with BMW to build planes and BMW wanted to base their logo around Rapp's. So thats where the BMW on the top of the circle come from and as for the colors they used the colors of the bavarian flag.

I don't have any, but there are three in my family. My brother has this one, and another 1999 black m3.

My mom has a 1991 or 92 BMW 325i convertible. Looks like the white one below-- this isn't hers but pretty much identical looking rims and all.

A friend of mine in high school drove an 850Ci for a while. He bought it for really cheap and it was a broken down piece of shit by the time he owned it haha. I wonder if I can find any pictures of it on Facebook.

Drove a 2009 BMW 335Xi at 130mph and the fuel pump blew up on me. Not ever buying a bmw ever. Germany has been letting me down lately. Test drove a 2012 A4 quarto and wasn't impressed either.

Dooo ittt. I fucking love E46s. I was looking at a few myself recently, but I'm a stickler for mileage and the ones in the <40,000 range in good condition are too expensive to buy as a second car.

I've got an e36, and an e12 that is amazing. I love Bimmers and probably won't ever buy another brand of car unless i get rich as shit or decide to play with something else as long as it's German.
