Neither! It's BMW....... "BM" at a stretch, but the two words you're referring to are so "chav" it's unreal. :x
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

I thought Bimmer was for the bikes and Beemer (or Beamer) was for the cars.

As SB said though they're both best avoided.....

Beemer is the better of the two I never used it, I like BM better but rarely use that either.

I try to avoid both as well. When refering to my car I rarely even say BMW by itself. I try to use just 323 but that can cause confusion with other manufacturers 323s so I usually say BMW 323. It's different to a lot of cars where the model name is sufficient. Beemer or BM seem to be used frequently by most of the people I know or talk to, but if they have got to BM is it that hard to add another letter?

I prefer 'Touring Drift Slutmobile'

Fair enough, Beemer is 'chav' and class me as a chav if you will, but I do use that term sometimes.

:mad: :D

Normally if someone asks what car I have, I'll say....

An ol' 325i Beemer.
