Doesn't work. Many people call the cars "Beemers".

 Just like nobody who owns a motorcycle "drives" it, anyone calling their
car a "beamer" is instantly recognizable as a poser who knows nothing.
 Which was my point that Alan G. Baker claimed to own a bimmer and to teach
racing and yet he doesn't know the very first thing about either topic.

I only "claim" it, because:
  I do--in fact--own a 2012 BMW 135i,
  and I do--in fact--teach road racing as well as race a 1998 Van Diemen RF98-2 Formula F Honda.
