Lame topic I know, sorta girly even. But what's a man to do when he has a girlfriend and tries to talk cars w/ his girlfriend, he turns the car into a fricken character! haha.

my 540i's name is Sherman, Seeing as its the most "Tank like" vehicle I have ever owned. I read something comparing an E34 to a Sherman-Tank and it sorta just stuck, simple as that.

Whats your car's name?

My first one, which went to low level (see sig) was called the Air King after a stainless Rolex I got for my 40th from the wif.

The new one is Elekta, which is pretty self evident

But I refer to it as the E34 and get blank stares from non-enthusiasts.

Evalinda. The first song I listened to when I bought it was "everlong" by the foo fighters, and I wanted to name it something with Eve or Eva in the name, and when i saw the Evalinda video on youtube, i was like OMGWTFBBQ!!! it fits!!!1!!oneone it works because I have a tendency to want to smack it when it isnt doing what I want it to.

And every one else I drive past on the commute to work calls her the shitty old BMW driven by a d**khead :rofl

Her name was the standard bessy as all my cars become known as. But the other day when the alarm for IT'S 37 DEG F BLASTED MY EARS I thought holy crap it hates the cold as much as I do since i grew up in Florida lol. Now her name is SISSY. I laughed at that name when i passed a new Mustang Saleen at 120 and he was trying to catch me lol. :alright

It's not a Stay-Wag, Station Wagon, or even a Sports Wagon...
It's a TOURING!

The Beater Bimmer - '86 325eS Auto 3.64 open rear end, winter beater
The 5'er - '89 525i 5spd

I ususally throw mine a "wassup baby" when I turn the corner and see her in a lot or something. Every once in awhile if I'm meeting new people I'll point at it and go "daaaamn" but not let them know its mine.

I just refer to mine as "the 540". The only car I ever did name was a 1967 MB 230s, I named her after the paints name of Havana Brown. For some reason " Miss Havana Brown" sounded sexy.

:)

I call the M635 "Cosmo" because it is Cosmos Blau and I can't seem to give it a female name. It doesn't sound feminine when it is driving...

The E30 is just "the iX", though I do like the car a lot. No name has ever suggested itself to me...

11-08-2007, 07:33 PM
I dont call her anything... she's definately a woman though, because of her ever changing day to day moods :crying:electric:angel2:angryfire

The wife however has a much more affectionate term for her:

The Ultimate Money Removal Machine.

"Sittin' Sidewayz"



C'mon now. Those are classic lyircs :shifty

Everyone should love and embrace Paul Wall.

When I just had the red 535 it was
"redfive"
"red"
"the bmw"
"the bimmer"
but once I had an identical car i started calling it the "red one", the "race car" or the "fast one"
and the black 535 became the "black one" or "black5"
Nothing too creative
Sometime I refer to the red one as the "red rocket" or "turbo power" or after apply liberal power "go baby go, ahh ha ha ha"
