Hey Everyone,

So, here's the big question. Is it pronounced Bimmer or Beemer? What do you say? Let us know what you say, by leaving a comment in the YouTube comments of the video to keep everything consolidated!

Thanks!

Bryan

No need to "vote" on a YouTube video because it's not a question. Fundy took care if it. Motorad is beemer. Done.

Car spelled Bimmer - pronounced beamer.

Motorcycle spelled Beemer - pronounced beamer

Spelled differently, but both are pronounced the same.

The pronunciation of the letter "B" is [bee]. Enough said.

I know its' supposed to be pronounced "Bimmer" for the cars but I don't like how it sounds, so I still say "Beemer."
