What Beemer is this?

[Dr Dad]

I was in a bmw dealership yesterday and saw this poster but had no idea what car it was. It kinda looks like a z3 if it had a child with a Karma

 

[Dr Dad]

Google is easy. I am dumb. It's a z8.

It is also "Bimmer" not "Beemer".

 

[HyeWarrior]

One of the best, worst cars ever made

It is also "Bimmer" not "Beemer".

As in Hans Zimmer?

Never heard anyone say it that way before.

You say it like "beamer", you spell it like "bimmer".

That car had a brief appearance in The World is not Enough before Bond came to his senses and started driving an Aston again.

I hate the word "bimmer" when spoken. Sounds so douchy. Of course the bimmerpost forums are mostly full of douches

It has been that way for decades.

Zee Germans. They have to over complicate everything.

"Bimmers" are the cars. "Beemers" are the motorcycles.

NEEK is right.

You say it like "beamer", you spell it like "bimmer".

You pronounce them as they are spelled.
