I think it's fine to call a beemer a beemer..... even people at bmw in the uk (bracknell) call it beemer? whats the problem? it's a sign of affection.

But on another note, will somebody be torrenting this and posting a link for the non-american forum members? I noticed a clip of a rolls royce documentary as well.... does anybody have that? thanks.
