seriously, i doubt you'll find a proper answer to that question as there just isnt one... theyre just alternative ways of saying BMW... people call it what they want to call it... theres no wrong or right... bimmer, beamer, bee em.. etc... just because some journo says it, it doesnt make it the "right" word...

No it isnt, it just came up between a friend and i. And ive always used "bimmer" but pronounced it as beamer coz i remember reading something from some people on a forum i used to belong to, and they said it was spelled bimmer for a reason (founding members or something) and i wanted to know if anyone else heard something similar

it's spelt bimmer but pronounced bee-mer
beamer is just the dumb way of writing it  that's why there's a magazine called bimmer and not beamer

I've always understood that it was spelled 'Bimmer' but pronounced 'Beamer'. Never understood the reasoning behind this, but really, who cares?
