I personally hate the word "Beemer", sounds pretentious and a bit dorky.

I know it is Bimmer, but, do not want to come across as a know it all. Should I let them continue saying beemer or correct them?

My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
If someone questions why I say Bimmer I explain the difference. No big deal IMO.
