From what I understand the new roundel was not intended to be used on cars, just in promotional literature along with the spelled out words instead of BMW. I think it was misinterpreted to mean it would be on the actual car
It should be "Bayerische Motoren Werke".

BMW Blog reported on 10/21/2017 "One of the interesting moves BMW will be making is switching up the roundel and logo on its higher-end luxury products. So rather than the blue and white roundel that we've come to know, it will instead go old-school, with a black and white roundel and the brand's full name, "Bayerische Motoren Werke" spelled out around it. This design will be present on the cars themselves as well as all marketing for them."
