BMW Helping U.S Olympic Long-Jumpers

BMW's partnership with the Olympics has been pretty well-documented in this space, but there just seems to be no shortage of ways for this particular team to pay dividends for everyone involved.  We here at the Center BMW blog have already talked about how the torch was tested in our Munich wind tunnel, but now ESPN has done a great feature on how BMW technology is being used to help U.S. Olympic high-jumpers…

BMW i-Series Makes Popular Mechanics' Top EV List

If there's one thing Center BMW customers like doing it's not spending all of their money on gasoline.  They also probably enjoy spending time with their families and going to the movies and occasionally eating at the best pizza place in town, but few things would improve the quality of life for most of us quicker than a quick slash of those awful, exorbitant gas prices.

That isn't going to happen, of…

BMW Lends Wind Tunnel to Test Olympic Torch

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London are almost upon us, which means we're just about ready to start following the torch on its trek through Europe en route to the opening ceremonies.  That torch travels on a tight schedule, which means even awful weather can't be allowed to stand in the way of this Olympic symbol making its way to that opening night of these games.

First 40 Special Edition Olympic BMW's Arrive

If the 2012 Summer Olympics in London are anywhere near as exciting as the 2008 Summer Olympics were, then we're in for quite a treat in just a few short months.  Of course, the organizers of the games are in for quite a treat long before that, as BMW has put together some special edition 1 and 3 Series vehicles specifically for the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).  Before…

BMW Has Been Making Electric Cars for 40 Years

Just about every automaker in the world is working on an all-electric vehicle right now.  We here at Center BMW, for example, should get our first batch of ActiveE models in just a little over a year, and admittedly those will be the first production electric cars that we'll have ever sold.

But let's not pretend like the idea of an electric car is something brand new.  It's not.  Gasoline-run cars have…

BMW Going Green At Manufacturing Plants, Too

There isn't an automaker in the world right now that isn't doing every single thing they can to make their vehicles as green as possible.  Engineers are helping consumers lower their carbon footprints with hybrid vehicles, all-electric vehicles, and even all-gas vehicles that simple take and consume fuel more conservatively.  Every year, billions of dollars go into research for how to better these technologies, as well as alternative fuels and fuel cells and?


AUPEO! App Takes Infotainment To A New Level

One of the really great things that has found its way into the everyday world of automobiles is "The Infotainment System," which many automakers now offer.  For those of you that have been asleep for the last two years and have heard nothing about them, systems like BMW's ConnectedDrive run voice-activated versions of specialty apps through smartphones, allowing users to tap into music, navigation, and reference information they never would've had access to?


My BMW Remote App Available Now!

Well, the day has finally arrived, Center BMW customers; the new My BMW Remote app is now officially available for Apple iOS devices.  As of February 16th, any BMW owner with BMW Assist and an iPhone can head over to the Apple Store (the virtual version), pull down the  app, and start doing all kinds of really awesome stuff with your vehicle.

 

2012 BMW 328i Gets Serious Boost in MPGs

Like a lot of automakers are doing with models that used to boast larger engines, BMW decided to make a change under the hood of the new 2012 BMW 328i.  What used to be a straight V6 engine is now a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and to be perfectly frank, the switch appears to be working on all levels.
