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

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

                            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.

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