So is it BIMMER or BEEMER?

Or BEAMER?

This feels like something that could start a fight but I genuinely want to know.

Bimmer is for BMW cars; Beamer and Beemer are for BMW motorcycles.

I think it may also depend on which side of the pond you are on, as in the UK it is Beemer/Beamer for cars. Not sure whether bikes are the same or something else.

As a new convert to BMW, I was unaware the the distinction as well. Google Gemini has some good background on this https://share.google/aimode/MLFbid5qefsyhIktb

Bimmer for cars and Beemer for bikes. I have no idea what a Beamer is.

It’s iBeam

I learned the difference for the US market after I bought a BMW R65 motorcycle in 1983. The motorcycle was a Beemer. I bought my first BMW car in 2005. It was a Bimmer. Even if someone gets it wrong, I am happy they are into BMWs.

With the shit BMW's putting out now, it's bummer.
