I'm not looking for best answer, I just had to say I can not BELIEVE someone would say the bmw was a british car, thou it's not the first time I've heard it.
The rest of the answers are correct, the english of it is Bavarian Motor Works, the german language would call it Bayerische Motoren Werke, it literally translates to that either way.
