Newbie Silly Question: what is IMO and OEM?
 

Hi All,

I am new to this portal and i am really glad i found it. :thumbup:

Just a silly question : What do IMO and OEM stand for. I read in some posts out here where people refer to it and i could not guess....:dunno:

Thanks

IMO = In My Opinion

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer. Refers to original parts from BMW, like BMW wheels or stock components, as compared to replica or after-market.
Welcome to X5 World:thumbup:

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer. An original BMW part.

:thumbup: Thanks!...

Make sure you look up STFU, WTF, and WTFBBQ too. :D

would not be only original BMW: Valeo, Bosch, Siemens etc. are all OEM suppliers, means these companys supply parts that are mounted originally into these cars; these companys could be at the same time OEM suppliers and deliver after market parts for other cars.

Got the first two but WTF is WTFBBQ :rofl:

It's a combination... of WTF and B.tch Be Quiet! :rofl:

LOL .... Thats funny.... :D

People are just getting too lazy to type out full words now.... full words FTMFW... hehe
