What is BimmerWorld?
BimmerWorld is the premier North American BMW parts supplier & performance facility with industry leading customer support & unrivaled BMW knowledge. The nickname “Beamer” comes from Great Britain – and originally served to distinguish it from a British manufacturer* whose motorcycles bore the nickname “Beezer”. But BMW motorcycles also achieved great success on the British racing scene, including the “Isle of Man TT Races”.The term ‘Beemer’ or ‘Beamer’ was given to BMW motorcycles to discern them from ‘Beezers’, another motorcycle from the BSA. These bikes were the most significant competitors of BMW motorcycles, and so fans gave the name to these bikes.Why is a BMW called a “bimmer”? The nickname “bimmer” for BMW cars originated in the US. It was derived from “beemer” or “beamer,” names for BMW motorcycles that were first coined in the UK in the 1960s and later spread across the globe.
