POLL: Bimmer or Beamer?

[oboeguy]

I say "beamer", but my cousin says "bimwah". Go figure.

 

[Asharus]

Why does everyone stereotype BMW drivers as uptight pricks? I'm not uptight, but I am a prick...

 

[Jzero]

Written out, it's "Bimmer" but it's pronounced "Beamer."

 

[beatniks3]

like someone said already it is bimmer for the BMW cars. in german the i sounds like an e sound like, for example, in nicht, said "neecht".

don't be hating on bimmer drivers, not all of them are pricks or a$$holes.

edit: Do you pronounce simmer as SEEMER? Sinner as SEENER? WTF?

god, ur an idiot. Maziwanka is right, it's pronounced BEAMER even though it is written BIMMER. In german 'I' is pronounced 'E', so after the German it is spelled BIMMER EVEN THOUGH it is pronounced BEAMER.

Damn.

Your idiocy and your friend Maziwanka's idiocy are both focking monumental. I've had BMW cars since 1977 and currently own 2. I also had 7 years of German in school, plus I'm an uptight prick and have no tolerance for jagoff mental cases such as yourself. You're probably one of those dorks who pronounce Porsche "porsh" and think you're cool. Since we're making up pronunciations and words here, I think the real way to pronounce "your mother" is "ho".

And if you're so smart about German pronunciation, the first person singular pronoun "ich" ("I" in English) is not pronounced EYE-CH, and the German word "zimmer" is not pronounced "zeamer" so there goes your theory on the pronunciation of the letter "i" in German. Hell, you can barely speak English, I don't think we should trust your German, you freaking doorknob!

So there! LOL

 

[WhiteKnight]

I say bimmer, but don't get my undies in a knot when someone says beamer.

Dumb asses - BIMMER is the car BEAMER is the motorcycle. Always has been, always will be, no matter how many stupid yuppies and ricer bois say it incorrectly.

Ding! Ding! Ding!! We have a winner here! Workin' is right on this one guys.

god, ur an idiot

This use of English says it right here. Dumasssss!

You know.. I really wish that the stupid Yuppies would've never discovered the BMW. Because of this, we have all these idiots driving them around and not even know what the hell they have. They have them because they cost money and they think that it shows off their wealth. Makes about as much sense as pouring out a bottle of Cristal on the ground in a rap video to show that you have money to burn. Even the wanna be ricer furious crowd has gotten a hold of them and ruined them with the huge wings, ghetto wheels and air bag "my car handles like crap" suspensions. Sickening. :disgust:

[jpeyton]

What kind of redneck thinks BMW's are "beamers"?

It's Bimmer. Get over it.

 

[psydancerqt]

never thought about it. always heard it as beamer and spelled it the same way. from michigan.

 

[Sachmho]

it is spelled bimmer, but is pronounced "beamer"... its not that hard to understand

 

[GaminFreak2002]

Beamer

 

[0roo0roo]

beamer. bimmer = dimmer. sounds stupid.

 

[Workin']

I've given up on the whole bimmer/beamer thing.

It's impossible to fight with retards who know nothing of the history of the marque. For the record it's BIMMER, but now let's just say I pronounce it as "it's what I have two of and you have zero of".

Uh, no it doesn't. Everyone has a different interpretation of words. I personally have never even though of spelling it Bimmer. That to me looks stupid. To each their own.

Get your head outta your ass, and realize that there are many different interpretations... Just like a poster above said about nuclear, and with Water.

I know.........you could beat these kids with history until you had no strength left in your arms and still not get it through their thick skulls that BIMMERS are the BMW cars, BEAMERS are the BMW bikes, no matter how much they want to mispronounce the words. They're teenagers, they know EVERYTHING................yeah, right.

Everyone I know calls a Bmw car a beamer.

And if everyone I know calls you "moron", I guess that means that's how to pronounce your name, right?

There are many interpretations? WTF, there is the right interpretation and the wrong interpretation. You are an absolute retard if you think the correct pronunciation of "nuclear" is "nook you lur" - that isn't up for interpretation, except by people with third grade educations! that's like saying 2+2=4 is open to interpretation! What a bunch of morons...
