Smart artists would have simply removed all the words BMW from description and titles, and they would be safe.

Not true in the least. They'd also have to remove the BMW logo[s] from the model, and I'm sure the BMW grill would be actionable under trade dress. There are likely some other aspects of the car, if not the car as a whole that might be actionable under trade dress as well but that gets a little murkier.
