Float like a Cadillac, Sting like a Beemer

Referring to the quote from the movie "Cars," it is believed to be coined off of Muhammad Ali's "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."

But in the movie it seems to be a variation of Ali's quote but in "racing terms," since both Cadillac and Beemer (BMW) are both real life car manufacturers.
"Float like a Cadillac, sting like a beemer."
- Doc Hudson and Lightning Mcqueen

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"
- Muhammad Ali
