My first post.
I was reading alot on this site before I bought my 1st E30, so thanks for all the info that is provided here. It really is an invaluable resource.
I just bought a 1991 325iC White Convertible with 60,000 original miles.
I am officially addicted.
The car came with allot of paperwork and receipts.
I can create a PDF of the owners manual, etc. if that would help anyone.
Just broke the back end loose for the first time today grabbing second gear in a sweeping turn, very fun.
Well thanks for the free info so far and I hope I can become a contributing user.

Bad spelling huh?
Should be Beemer I guess.
Or Bimmer ?

Bimmer, Beemer or Beamer? What is in a name...


A search in Google for the keyword "BMW" yields results that use the terms - Bimmer, Beemer and Beamer. With so many terms being used it is quite easy to get confused. Which is the right one to use?

The truth is that all the terms refer to BMW vehicles. However, Bimmer is the proper term for BMW cars (vehicles with 4 wheels) while Beemer and Beamer are terms that are used for BMW vehicles that have less than 4 wheels (e.g. motorcycles).

Why all this different terms? BMW started big in motorcycles and was very active in motor sports back then. One of their biggest competitors at the racing track was BSA - which was also a big name in motorcycles then. Since BSA motorcycles were known as Beesers, BMW fans decided to call BMW motorcycles Beemers. As time went by, different people (who couldn't spell very well and didn't take the initiative o find out) started to use the term Beamer.

BMW went on to design and manufacture cars which subsequently outshone their two-wheeled cousins. The BMW car enthusiasts wanted a new term to differentiate cars from motorcycles and coined the term Bimmer.
