Well,that was a nice piece of info you just made up,but nice try
The term comes from BSA motorcycles,they were called Beezers,so the BMW crowd called their bikes Beemers. When BMW started making popular cars,the 4-wheeled enthusiast wanted their own nickname so Bimmer was born. Americans couldn't give a crap about a BMW until the '70s,so we're alittle late to the party to be giving a nickname to a car that had been around since the '30s,and been making bikes since the '20s.
I know,i know.....you hate me.
