Bezeichnung: Bimmer. Wie ist das entstanden ?

[amnat]

Jawohl!
Kampf den glorifizierten Anglizismen!
Warum denn einen Reimport á la "Horch, was kommt von Amerika rein"?!

Recht hast Du.
Ab jetzt sagen wir wieder Horch zum Audi , back to the roots

Oh shit, diese Anglizismen sind wirklich überall, soeben hat sich wieder einer von meiner Zunge gelöst.

[amnat]

Shit hast Du auf der Zunge?! Mahlzeit

[Rennsemmel]

Ich würde sagen: Bimmer kommt daher, wenn irgendwas am Auto kaputt ist,
macht es immer " Bimm" und beim Freundlichen bimmelt die Kasse.

The initials BMW are pronounced [ˈbeː ˈɛm ˈveː] in German.[38] The model series are referred to as "Einser" ("One-er" for 1 series), "Dreier" ("Three-er" for 3 series), "Fünfer" ("Five-er" for the 5 series), "Sechser" ("Six-er" for the 6 series), "Siebener" ("Seven-er" for the 7 series). These are not actually slang, but are the normal way that such letters and numbers are pronounced in German.

The English slang terms Beemer, Bimmer and Bee-em are variously used for BMWs of all kinds, cars, and motorcycles.In the US, specialists have been at pains to prescribe that a distinction must be made between using Beemer exclusively to describe BMW motorcycles, and using Bimmer only to refer to BMW cars, in the manner of a "true aficionado" and avoid appearing to be "uninitiated." The Canadian Globe and Mail prefers Bimmer and calls Beemer a "yuppie abomination," while the Tacoma News Tribune says it is a distinction made by "auto snobs." Using the wrong slang risks offending BMW enthusiasts. An editor of Business Week was satisfied in 2003 that the question was resolved in favor of Bimmer by noting that a Google search yielded 10 times as many hits compared to Beemer.
