Yeah, that's the main problem. They got rid of black color ring surrounding the blue rotating propellers. That killed the logo.

  It's actually a stylized Bavarian flag, the propeller story is a myth

      That article clearly says the propeller thing is a myth, and that BMW just did that once for a fun advertisement.

    The Bavarian flag is white-blue, BMW is blue-white ;)
