Bimmer vs Beamer/beemer

Bimmer: It is the correct and accepted slang for BMW cars. Majority doesnt know this.
Beamer/ Beemer: It is the correct and accepted slang for BMW motorcycles. Novices confuse this for bimmers.
BMW got an early and a big start on two wheels. In those days BMW motocycles were in to racing with one of their competitors being BSA motorcycles. a racing track slang somehow, sometime started with the BMS bikes being referred as "beemers" while the BSA bikes being referred as "beesers". And it was obvious that no true enthusiast of a BMW car would want it to be tagged as beemer, hence the car was called as the bimmer.
