More correct would be Bavarian Motor Werken and the most correct would be Bayerische Motor Werken.

I learned what BMW stood for after watching Finding Forrester. BTW, those Subaru Forresters with turbo and 5spd are pretty fun. Just thought I'd tie that in there.

It's a Forester.

Ever seen the Forester WRX STI? Now that would be fun

Loose the 'n' at the end and it'd be perfect.

You're right Deakins, my bad.
I was thinking in one language and typing in another

You mis-placed where the 'n' goes, actually.

Bayerische Motoren Werke

I realised that when Deakins mentioned it, but I wasn't about to go and edit my post to 'cover my ass'.

I speak Afrikaans which is a derivative of several European languages(Dutch, German...) so sometimes when I type German, I get the certain things muddled up.....

Why not? I did the exact same thing in this thread, when I recalled the meaning of BMW wrong, then looked it up, deleted the old one, and put up a new post.

That's what the Edit/Delete is for.
