In North America and some other regions, BMW cars are sometimes referred to as "bimmers," often pronounced "beemers," which is technically incorrect as "beemer" refers to BMW motorcycles. The company's slogans in English are "The Ultimate Driving Machine" (mainly used in the USA) and "Sheer Driving Pleasure".
