Other than the giant swastika, does it bother anyone else that the kerning is uneven? The B is farther away from the M than the M is from the W.

Now that you mentioned it, it does bother me, but it might have been on purpose.

BMW stands for Benelli (?) Motor Werk(s), so essentially it's:

(Location) -space- (Factory Type)

At least that's my assumption for it, because otherwise, it being Nazi Germany, if that was a typographical error, the person stamping those would probably be shot

It is Bayerische Motoren Werke. Funnily enough, that's wrong orthography, it should be Bayerische Motorenwerke, so you have a point.
