Widely recognized slang for a BMW — the German luxury car and motorcycle brand that's become a status symbol worldwide. If someone's rolling up in a beemer, they're arriving in something that broadcasts money, taste, and occasionally a certain driver stereotype. The term is used globally by car enthusiasts and casual speakers alike. Technically in BMW enthusiast culture, 'Beemer' refers to BMW motorcycles and 'Bimmer' to the cars, but in everyday slang most people use beemer for both without losing any sleep over it.

He showed up to the reunion in a brand new beemer and tried very hard to look like he wasn't showing off.
Origin: Slang shortened form of BMW, the German automaker Bayerische Motoren Werke. The nickname emerged in English-speaking markets in the mid-20th century as BMW cars and motorcycles became more prevalent. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
