I've been raised on the established fact that Bimmer refers to the BMW Car, while Beamer refers to the BMW motorbike.
But is it a US-centric thing? I was watching AutoTrader and Wheeler Dealers on YouTube, and Mike Brewer for some odd reason kept referring to the BMW Car (A touring 3-Series (WD), a Used 2000-ish 3-Series car (AT), and some Lime-green Special Edition 3-series (AT)) as Beamers.
