5 Ways To Tap Into The BMW Experience will explore the many ways that BMW demands a quality experience for us.

The Technology Experience

The technology in BMWs have been widely known as “far ahead of the competition” for years. Some proclaim that that is debatable in 2021, but I drove a 2006 3 series until two years ago and was still experiencing the same level of technological comfort as other manufacturer’s 2010 vehicles and beyond. Great technology is (in my opinion) the most important of the 5 Ways To Tap Into The BMW Experience.

I was able to connect my mobile device to my car’s AUX port in a 2006. I had a BMW iDrive Screen in a 2006. Most cars that my family and friends were driving were later models and they had no screens. I also had a sunroof, which is an option with many manufacturers, I’m just giving you the vision. It had alloy wheels and leather seats. My current sports model has “8-way adjustable seats”, I believe my 2006 had “6-way adjustable seats”—still extremely comfortable and tailored to my size.

Last but not least, the 2006 BMW 3 series had hip and curtain airbags in addition the steering wheel airbag when my son needed them.

I am loyal to the Bayerische Motoren Werke (or Bavarian Motor Works) brand. Period.

First Class Comfort Experience

Lumbar seat support, that is one of my favorite features in the “8-way adjustable seats”. I’m 5’3″ and as you can see it the pic below, I have created a snug fit between the seat and the steering wheel. I love to sit up straight— sometimes to humorous, non-stop, mocking of my family,(strangely enough mostly from my mother) but this series gets me there.

Years of Top-Notch Documentation = Dependability

Dependability should probably not come after great technology on the list of the most important of the 5 Ways To Tap Into The BMW Experience, but you should know me by now. Technology is automatically what I think of first. However, I have been on the side of the interstate before—not fun! So even though I sometimes complain that this brand is the most sensitive brand I have ever had because a warning light is constantly coming on, I appreciate it. It makes me feel safe.

Now, I mentioned that I have been on the side of the road before. I am about to let you in on the absolute best resources for BMWs hands down. If you own a BMW, you already know what I am about to say. If you are considering purchasing a BMW, you’re welcome because you will be cozied up to this for hours in your spare time and pulling it up before you call your insurance company or the repair shop. BimmerFest BMW Forum. You’re welcome. The documentation on this website is positively mind blowing. I once spent an entire Friday night reading a back and forth on the diagnosis of a transmission issue. Fascinating. Entertaining. Informative.

Interior

I have been the owner of 3 BMW vehicles. I have owned two 3 series vehicles and one 5 series vehicle. Their interiors were gray interior and (2 with) black interior. I have had absolutely no complaints on the interior of either of them. I went over some of the “6-way adjustable seats” and “8-way adjustable seat” features in my 2006 325i and my 2016 BMW M3 Sedan above at length. The arm rest is plenty wide enough for two people to share without that awkward feeling of one person taking up too much space. There same goes for two backseat passengers—that’s for the both the 355i, the 328i and the 5 series. Just superb comfort.

I do want to chat later about the BMW knee airbags. Have you ever even heard of knee airbags? It’s new to me. I’ll be on Bimmerfest preparing for our future chat about it.

VIP Experience

Although this is last on the list of the 5 Ways To Tap Into The BMW Experience, it is just as important as the others.

Buying my car this year at BMW of Nashville was a different experience than a high-volume dealership in the area. I have been in other showrooms. I have been in other sales and financing offices. This experience was head and shoulders above. I will not lie to you and say that it was shorter. It was not. But the time that I spent there was better spent. Let me explain. I am a busy woman. I had my laptop, phone and lunch sprawled out at a table in the showroom so that I could make calls and program. My sales agent checked on my constantly, as did the finance manager and about 3 other salespersons that had absolutely no interaction with me at all. I walked over to grab a magazine and the service manager needed to know if I needed anything. I loved it. The customer service is amazing and now I’m spoiled.

Drones

If you are missing our drone experience, do not fear, I’m back next week with another drone post. Here’s 2021 Will Make You Give Drones The Respect They Deserve until then. I do hope you enjoyed the BMW piece though. We love the brand around here.
