We all can fight all day long if its Bimmer or Beamer, but what are your regional nicknames?

For example in the Balkans we call them Bembara or Benjo.

Bembara basically means Baby BMW.

    “a tal da 3 letras” which means “the one with 3 letters” because in my country (Brazil) everything is expensive as fuck. And BMWs, even 320i are considered luxury cars and a dream for most people who enjoy cars (i’m included).

    The “funny” guys in Germany call it “Bring Mich Werkstatt”.

    ​

    Or: “Bei Mercedes Weggeworfen”.

    I may have heard bimmer once, 30 years ago. On TV.

    It’s always just been BMW.

    Personally, I just name drop the series or chassis code. Rare that ever mention the brand.

    If some weirdo Audi person has no idea what I’m on about…they’re free to look it up.

      You drop the chassis code and just hope people know what you’re talking about? Imagine trying this in a workplace environment when someone asks you if you own a car…. Or when your extended family asks the same question…. But for sure dude, make it as hard as possible on the non auto enthusiasts, this makes us all look goof

    Well, where I live we mainly speak spanish or spanglish (english and spanish mixed) so people usually say “el BM (be, eme)” as in “the BM” but each letter is pronounced in spanish.
