Does it taste like ass-to-ass?

Yeah, I immediately looked at Mexico City, too. Then, when I found out Sanborn Citysets was for US cities -- I started looking at either New Jersey or New York.

Looking for the name of the main body of water pictured. It has been one of the main sources of radioactive-free steel.

Correct. The German High Seas Fleet was moved there immediately after their defeat in World War One. The German Admiral ordered the fleet's scuttling one day in 1919, rather than see the Brits get their hands on it. Steel produced prior to the first atomic blasts in 1945 (the production of steel uses huge amounts of air from the atmosphere, which is now slightly radioactive) is highly valuable for making radiological detection equipment.

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, better known as BMW, headquartered in Munich, Germany.

The blue-and-white roundel BMW still uses alludes to the blue and white checkered flag of Bavaria and also indicates the origin of the company by symbolizing a spinning white propeller on a blue-sky background.
