Most people I know in Turkey says double-v, including my father who can't even Google properly.

We do say BMV though. And I've heard may people saying "v", but most? I'm now sure. I could be living in a bubble.

it's maybe BMW is a german car company and people didn't hear it from english speakers first?

That's because BMW is a German company and "W" is pronounced "V" in German.
