"Bimmer" is a brain-deadeningly stupid coinage which I refuse to recognize. The brand name is pronounced bee-em-dubya, not bim-whatever.

No, it's pronounced "BEH - em - VEH".

Just like Volkswagen is pronounced "FOLKS-vah-gen."

Really. ;-)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I bought a (used) BMW and started visiting a chat room so that I can maintain it and learned that little tidbit of info. Both terms are too yuppie for me, I just call it a BMW.
