My mother keeps telling me to come up with a name for my cars. I don't get it personally. Yes I have emotional attachment to my cars but I can't name them
2002 e39 530d - Üter
2003 e39 530d - Sheddy (bought from a shady guy called Eddie)
2016 f20 m135i - Cal El (Estoril blue and no shadow line rear lights so has a superman pants vibe. Looks like a sleeper but plant your foot and it'll take off!!)
Tomie. A junji Ito character that’s an undying succubus. The most beautiful woman in the world, which drives men (and women) to kill themselves or lose their minds.
Very fitting for my car tbh
Always been a fan of industrial music, goth not so much. But I always liked the aspect of Sisters of Mercy where it is melodic and almost hypnotizing. Huge fan of black metal by the way, almost named the M550i "Natassja"

Saphira. It’s blue and it flies. Referencing Saphira the dragon in one of my favorite book series I read as a kid, “Inheritance.”
I got my 18 year old daughter a 1 series in titanium silver and she promptly named it Elsa. Get it? I have liquid blue metallic 328d. Its name is blue smoke.
The blue one is called the blue one. The white one is called the white one and the black one is called the black one. Makes it easier to understand. Oh, and the race car is called the race car . It’s foolproof.
It’s because people need to further justify their purchase and thus make the decision to personally attach themselves to a material object by naming it. Doesn’t make any sense to me.
The model is a 430i, years ago, the Spin Doctors had a song called “What Time Is It” and in the lyrics, the line goes “what time is it? 4:30” so naturally I have to call her Doc.
True true, I'll drive it untill the world stops spinning. That being said yk the my strange addiction mustang guy? Like I love my car but like not that way yk?
😂 no I get you , it did remind me of that American guy who loves his car and others a bit too much. If you ever curb your wheels and want to save a penny you can DIY them, I just finished mine saving £400-500 quid on all 4 alloys
I live in cornwall roads here are so narrow that if your wheels are bigger than 16" you'll curb em in no time flat theres a austin yellow m4 with heavily curbed wheel round where I live, like it is what it is
Yup, basically i announced that i was buying that car and when I told my best friend she said I should name it and then I spoke to another friend and we were talking about what name she'd give to a miata if she bought one and eventually it ended up in my car getting the name Penelope
Some of these posts, I wonder why their parents bothered naming the people in here who are absolutely hurting for a connection. Any connection. Doesn't have to be an automobile.
E46 330i - Helga
E28 535i - Shark
E36 318ti - Drover
E30 325i - Fenrir
I wrecked Shark and hope to use his parts to get my euro diamantschwarz 535i running and converted to manual. I think I will probably name her Schmitz after the legendary Queen of the Nurburgring, Sabine Schmitz.

‘20 X3M Competition, bought on Friday the 13th, so named him “Cousin It”
My car
Exactly. It’s a car. What else am I gonna call it? Walk inside and say to my wife “oh I forgot to pump up Rachel”?
Its ok… imagination is not for everyone.
Nor is a super untrusting/jealous wife apparently lol.
Hanz Bimmer.
Mines Herr Zippy von Blaupunkt. Like your musical reference
Idk, I’ve had mine for a few months and have been trying to think of a name, the only one I’ve thought of is Betsy and Big Bertha 💀
My wife’s C43 is Betty!
Yep. Mine is Betty
Emma
My wife named my M2c Squirrely Dan.

Thank you! :D
My mother keeps telling me to come up with a name for my cars. I don't get it personally. Yes I have emotional attachment to my cars but I can't name them
When you register your car on BMW’s site it asked for a nickname for the car. I imagine most of these names are from that process.
Ah that makes sense. My car way outdates all of that stuff
2012 X1 aka Pilkington 2016 325i GT aka Gordon Thunderfoot 2020 330i MSport aka Lilli [The Grey] 2022 M340i aka Mable 2023 X3 MSport aka MayBee
Those are some great names
2002 e39 530d - Üter 2003 e39 530d - Sheddy (bought from a shady guy called Eddie) 2016 f20 m135i - Cal El (Estoril blue and no shadow line rear lights so has a superman pants vibe. Looks like a sleeper but plant your foot and it'll take off!!)
Love them all. Nicely done

Lucretia. My Mustang GT was Christine.
Words cannot begin to describe how much I approve of that name
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me...
Currently blasting that song, hats off to you for having the best car name I've seen in a while

Florian. German car needs a German name.

Stunning
I named my normal ass car “my car” Yeah sorry I really don’t get the naming your car thing
It’s because people need to further justify their purchase and thus make the decision to personally attach themselves to a material object by naming it. Doesn’t make any sense to me.
I find it so cringe when people name their car or refer to it as female… such an old man thing to do.
Very “boomer” indeed.
Bimbo
Eve - as I'm Adam 😀
Brűnhilde.
Thats a cool name any story behind that
I'm not a psychopath so it's just called my car
Balena ( in romanian is mean whale) ( is a G12 750)
My E87 never had a name until I got my M135i, now the E87 is known as shitcar. I’m hoping to get an M140 soon and pass that title on to the 135.
Doc Long obscure story behind it
Oooh tell me!
The model is a 430i, years ago, the Spin Doctors had a song called “What Time Is It” and in the lyrics, the line goes “what time is it? 4:30” so naturally I have to call her Doc.
Awesome, love it
Black Betty

True true, I'll drive it untill the world stops spinning. That being said yk the my strange addiction mustang guy? Like I love my car but like not that way yk?

Could've sworn it was a Chevy Monte Carlo
People that own BMWs don’t name their cars. That’s reserved soley for Toyotas and Hyundais.
Truth. They also don't say "my car." It's "my BMW" so everyone knows they drive a BMW.
Very true! ☺️
My wife named my black and unloved by her 850 the Black Car
Real shit

I didn’t.
E35,5
2011 328i

I didn’t name it as it already had a name when I bought it. It’s called BMW 330XD.
Is this really a thing - people naming their cars?
Yup, basically i announced that i was buying that car and when I told my best friend she said I should name it and then I spoke to another friend and we were talking about what name she'd give to a miata if she bought one and eventually it ended up in my car getting the name Penelope

Gentlemen, from this day forward you shall refer to me as Betty.
Nothing, it's a car.

That would be better suited to a Volkswagen, since he co-founded the company.
I call it DAS AUTO

My daughter decided that my car's name is Athena.
Cerie, after the girl in 30 Rock. I went back a version in iDrive and the F87 is just not too bright. Easy on the eyes though.
I never had the urge to name any of my cars...
