There are two main explanations about the origin of the word "Bimmer". First, there is a magazine called Bimmer's magazine about BMW, which specializes in reporting the culture of BMW models. Over the years, it has been deeply loved by BMW fans. With the passage of time, BIMMER has gradually become synonymous with this group.
The second explanation of the origin of "Bimmer" In the early years, there was a locomotive factory named BSA in Britain, which was dominant in the British locomotive industry. In those years, this locomotive factory often competed with BMW. As old rivals, BMW locomotive drivers will simply call their cars beemer or beamer. Later, because BMW's cars and motorcycles are very popular and have a large number of fans, in order to distinguish the fans of these two models, they are collectively called BIMMER for car lovers and beemer for motorcycle lovers.
