BMW's symbol is made of blue and white quadrants, which represent a rotating propeller, as BMW was initially an aircraft engine manufacturing company.

A little correction.

BMW's symbol is inherited from the old flag of Bavaria.

I can understand where the blue+white color comes from, but the rotating quadrants indicate a propeller.

BMW Logo – BMW Logo History at LogoBlog

...according to a BMW spokesperson, the BMW logo does not symbolize a spinning propeller (although the imagery did appear in post-WWI advertisements)
...
the first BMW aero-engine test took place in March 1918 – six months after the BMW logo had been created. Additionally, the founding myth of the BMW logo, the propeller, was a component of the engine that was never manufactured by BMW.
...
When the BMW logo was first created, it was prohibited by the Trademark Act to feature ‘national coats of arms or other symbols of national sovereignty’ in a trademark. This led the BMW marketers to come up with a solution of ‘incorrectly configuring the color elements in the BMW logo from a heraldic perspective’, while also keeping its relationship with Bavaria evident.
