After seeing the whole vid, what a sick bastard!! That body jump stunt is insane. I love the streetfighter style backdrop with people inches from his stunt area and loafing in the trailer. I wonder if he'd be allowe to perform something that intimate in n america.

The answer in part lies in knowing some BMW history and what came first.
All real BMW enthusiasts know that BMW got a big start on two wheels, what many call the real BMWs.
In those days, BMW motorcycles were quite active in racing, and one of their competitors at the track was often the BSA bikes.
Well as things would have it, a track slang developed, and the BMWs were usually referred to as 'beemers' and the BSAs were referred to as 'beesers'.
So, of course for any true enthusiast, there is no way that a BMW car could be called a 'beemer', so they were called 'bimmers'.
Unfortunately, in the US and Canada, and perhaps other countries, there was a time (kind of still is) where for various reasons, a BMW owner was considered an upwardly mobile person, and of course due to the fun in driving their BMWs most all of them had big grins on their faces.
Hence it is little surprise that the non enthusiast types out there incorrectly labeled BMW cars and their owners as 'beamers' or 'beemers'.

Nothing wrong with being upwardly mobile... except for when upper management doesn't seem to want you to move in an upwardly fashion as you so deserve :laughing .
That was an interesting history lesson... I'll try adhere to the BMW 'rules'. :coffee
