I call all BMW's beemers. Don't care if they are 4 or 2 wheelers.

Growing up in South Florida, people use to say BEEMER about my 325i convertible. I thought both BIMMER and BEEMER are lame.

It doesn't really matter.

Beamer
Bimmer

Just moving the steering wheel side to side like a slalom
Now I ain't got no problem I'm just breakin the steerin column"

My boy has a 5 series and its always "the Beemer"
