No beemer like this!

[clarkee]

Here is my new beemer

[TD]

Odd, that looks like a CAR not a MOTORCYCLE.

[clarkee]

Specialist rear valance

Is that a factory aero kit?

Front is AC Schitzer:

Rear looks like Hamann:

And the sides look like factory M-Aero. My best guesses! :D

I like it! what was that another 2-3g's after purchase and paint?

[munk330ci]

you guys and the bimmer / beemer thing. lay off. :confused: :thumbdwn:

[Rufus330Ci]

I read that post awhile back I didn't know either.......
bimmer = car / beemer = motorcycle

is bimmer pronounced beemer?

No.

BTW:

That says it all. Pronounced as they look. :D

[clarkee]

No the back spolier isn't a Hamaan,

But the front spoiler is a AC Schnitzer,

and the side skirts are M3 ones,

but the back is a special one from a contact I have in Germany.


And back up two the guy who disses bimmer's / beemer's because I'm from the UK and that's what we say!!!

[clarkee]

Different angle

[clarkee]

In the UK we say Beemer's but it could be different over in the states where you guys are.

[Mystikal]

Hey, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. The Hamann one DOES look quite similiar, though. :thumbup:

[clarkee]

Yeh you did well.

I know it does look similar but for the Gap in the middle. I wanted something different from a lot of people who have Hamaan

[Rufus330Ci]

Does look sweet! How much is those skirts? I'm alittle lazy to look them up ;O) I would probably have the chrome tips stick out past the rear skirt though like a couple inches for looks

[clarkee]

Thanks for the compliment Rufus 330

The side skirts cost me £140

in $ about 300

[Rufus330Ci]

thats pretty cheap $300 I wonder how it would look without replacing the front and rear bumpers and only side skirts....

[clarkee]

Yeh I think it would look alright because i've seen a few cars done like that.

The whole kit including the lip M3 boot lip was £1000

There's a part where Morgan F. pronounces the car as 'BEAMER' in the movie Sum of All Fears, if that makes any difference.

The general populace at large isn't hip to the bimmer/beemer car/motorcycle thing. I bet 90% of the people on the street would say beemer and think it meant the car. And as for screenwriters actually doing any research prior to finishing a script, well ... :tsk:

[scottn2retro]

Pretty much the general population in California says 'beemer' and it's just too overwhelming to run around and try to correct the millions and millions of people that have it wrong. :banghead:

With the previously mentioned screenwriters being in California . . .

Anyway, sweet ride. Congratulations!

If you check page 6 of the latest copy of BMW magazine, it talks about the guy that designed the 635 CSi and he refers to his art work as "Beamer series" If it's good enough for the guy that designed the car then I will feel correct in calling my car a Beamer. I think the whole Beamer/Bimmer thing is a load of crap anyway. Call it whatever you want. :D

I hope your not talking about Bangle, cause in my opinion, he's ruining the classic look of the Bimmer and it makes him look like an even bigger moron if he's calling the car a Beamer.

Um, Bangle sure as hell was not around then. That was Claus Luthe.

You say tomato...... :rolleyes:


Is it worth the hassle ?? :p

[Rufus330Ci]

Sweet M, I was torn between a fully loaded 330Ci and a M3 w/ nothing on it. It took me a while, but I decided on the 330 due to insurance and I wanted options :D I think after I'm 25 or so I'll step up :thumbup:

Hey, something is wrong with your new car. BMW put the steering wheel on the wrong side. You better take it back to the dealer and complain! ;)

Have fun with your new bimmer, guy! :thumbup:

After the third "who gives a crap" expression I stopped being a BMW geek by attempting to "educate" the masses. :banghead:

I think most enthusiasts feel the same way. However, it drives me even more batty when so called BMW diehards don't even know that the thing on the hood of their cars is called a Roundel.
