Uh ohh... In that clip he says the couple traveled over 6,000 miles to pick up their new beemer. Clearly the reporter didn't do his homework. Big no no in BMW nomenclature to call a BMW car a beemer especially if you're doing a documentary on it!

zzzbullseye · 07-10-2011, 10:02 AM

DVR scheduled, thanks for the heads up!

It's wrong/right. To the enthusiast, it's wrong but to the average joe beamer/beemer is what they they refer to anything BMW. Besides, I think I've hear Jeremy Clarkson say Beamer/Beemer a couple of times.

I think it's fine to call a beemer a beemer..... even people at bmw in the uk (bracknell) call it beemer? whats the problem? it's a sign of affection.

But on another note, will somebody be torrenting this and posting a link for the non-american forum members? I noticed a clip of a rolls royce documentary as well.... does anybody have that? thanks.

lasovan · 07-10-2011, 12:03 PM

Great thanks for posting! Looking forward to watch it.

abcde · 07-10-2011, 12:20 PM

Already set this up to record on my DVR. Looking forward to watching it!

Lazarini · 07-10-2011, 12:31 PM

It's because a beemer refers to BMW Motorrad...or a motorcycle made by BMW. Bimmer is a car made by BMW
