 I'm ignorant as to the difference between a "bimmer" and a "beemer" so
maybe you can explain it to me.  Why don't people just say BMW?  It's
not like that's a long acronym.

Looks like no one cleanly answered your question.
FWIW, I always have to go look up this trivia, as I've never become invested enough in BMW to care enough to remember:
Bimmer is the slang for BMW's automobiles;
Beemer is the slang for BMW's motorcycles.

I may have mentioned this once.  My mother who is German made sure I
knew how to pronounce Audi correctly.  She hated when people pronounced
it "au-di" and said it's pronounced "ow-di".

Similarly, that Porsche is two syllables, not one.
