Here is the list as it stands. These are the user who said I'm in. Just add your name to the list to make it easier on me. I'll repost the rules and such when I post the first question. Which will not be the BMW one since people are probably cheating before it's even posted!
1. Mr. Pockets
2. soobiesvx93
3. Noir
4. upnygimp
5. shelfy
6. thundering02
7. sidewinder
8. subafreak
9. michael
10. earthworm
11. Ron Mummert
12. Jnthn Sctt (don't like vowels?)
13. Landshark

Also, the reason BMW's symbol is blue and white, is that blue and white are the national colors of Bavaria, the B in BMW, an autonomous nation once again absorbed into Germany in the 1800's. There are several regions of Germany, such as Mecklenberg, Bavaria, etc... all having their own symbols and colors. In fact the national police in Germany, the Polizei, all use the same cars and uniforms, but the patch is regional to that area. The same shape but the center is that area's color and or symbol. I have a Bavaria Polizei patch in my collection and it has the trademark Bavarian blue and white checkerboard, sometimes you'll see the blue and white checkerboard shield added to the rear of BMW's by their owners.
