BIDR's Trivia Tuesday: Round 12

Germany didn't just build cars — it built obsessions. A flat-six that cools itself with nothing but air and stubbornness. A four-ring badge born out of four proud companies that refused to die quietly in the Depression. A roundel myth so good people have been repeating it for a century, even though it's not true. This is the engineering culture that gave us air-cooled Porsches, Bavarian sedans, and the three-pointed star — and it didn't get there by accident.
Fair warning: this round skips the easy stuff. No "what does BMW stand for." We're going deeper — renamed model numbers, debunked logo lore, and the merger behind a badge you've probably never thought twice about.
