        OK,
        is it bor-bet like the guy at Tire Rack said it ?

        Or is it bor-bay like the ice cream like substance?

              hahahaha, I just recently heard some one call it "awwdee"
              thought it was a little odd

                This is how it would be pronounced using proper English grammar (if that even exists).

                This is how it is correctly said due to it being a German automobile manufacturer. AKA Proper German Grammar

                      Not really too hard, the "ei" is pronounced "EYE", and "bach" can't really be pronounced any other way but how it's spelled.

                        -Ee-back ?

                        -Aren't "w" pronounced with a "vee" sound, thus AlpinweiB = "al-pin-vice"

                          Yeah, "w" is pronounced like a "v". "V" is pronounced "fau".
