The alternating blue and white are derived from the arms of the free state of Bavaria. The exact pattern is adapted partly because it was illegal to use it directly but ultimately from there.

BMW isn’t heraldry, though? It’s a stylized aircraft propeller, because they first made airplane engines. Am I wrong?
