"BMW" in Chinese means "father, mother and me" ...

In China, the "father" read "baba", "mother" read "mama", "I" read "wo"

I found B (baba) M (mama) W (wo), on behalf of "family" means ...

This is just my personal analysis, ha ha!

Have not heard that one before but the one which is more popular (because of a Chinese movie) is;

别摸我 -bie mo wo means 'don't touch me.'

OP, I hope that you're joking.

In any event, 'BMW' referred to in Chinese means 'prized horse' - here it is in simplified Chinese:


Pronounced in English, it is "bow ma".
