You Brits! :p

When pronouncing these words, the majority of them are Deutsch, so you have to hold back the English tongue...

Fuchs = Like fuhx (German for Fox).
Bilstein = Bihl schtei hn (the stein part rhymes with fine)
Sachs = Sahks (short a)

Sachs = Sahks (short a)
And now a word from the colonies :

Fuchs : Fooooochs
Bilstein : rhymes with fine - slurred s : bil-sshh-tine
Sachs : Succcccs - gutteral c at the back of the throat - almost sounds like you are about to form a spit ball (Sucks is close)
A Bimmer (Bimmmmer) is a BMW motorcar.
A Beemer (Beeeemer) is a BMW motorcycle.

Now practice every morning in front of the mirror.

Here's one for the advanced learner : Ausgezeichnet! (Its own reward! ;) )
