beamers

Folks showing joy

Beamers is informal slang for BMW automobiles, from the brand's initials: Nice beamers in the parking lot.

The term originated with BMW motorcycles and transferred to the cars.

In cricket, a beamer is an illegal delivery that reaches the batsman at head height without bouncing—dangerous and penalized.

The plural also covers anyone or anything that beams.
