October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and at Competition BMW, we are proud to support the fight against breast cancer. Our staff has worn pink throughout the month to show solidarity with those affected by this disease. We are partnering with Pink Aid, the only national non-profit organization providing compassionate support and urgent financial assistance to patients in dire need. Pink Aid helps cover essential costs like transportation to treatment, groceries, and other basic necessities. This year, we sponsored and attended the LI Pink Rocks Broadway event at the Paramount in Huntington, NY, celebrating our community’s commitment to this vital cause.

With so many ways to join in, help us raise awareness and support those affected by breast cancer. Together, we can make a difference this October!

At Competition BMW, we’re excited to share some groundbreaking news that marks a significant step forward in the realm of electric vehicle (EV) sustainability. With the growing popularity of EV s and hybrids, concerns about the fate of depleted batteries have been at the forefront of discussions. Thankfully, BMW is stepping up to address these challenges through a strategic partnership with Redwood Materials. A Game-Changer for EV Sustainability In a recent press release, BMW of North America announced its collaboration with Redwood Materials to recycle lithium-ion batteries from their electric, plug-in hybrid, and mild hybrid vehicles, including BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce, and BMW Motorrad models. This initiative not only emphasizes BMW’s commitment to sustainability but also establishes a robust recycling ecosystem. Redwood Materials will leverage BMW’s extensive network of nearly 700 dealerships, distribution centers, and facilities to collect spent batteries. They will extract valuable minerals such as nickel, cobalt, lithium, and copper, effectively reintegrating these resources back into the battery supply chain. This innovative recycling process boasts an impressive sustainability record, reportedly reducing energy consumption by 80%, CO2 emissions by 70%, and water usage by 80% compared to competing methods. Who Is Redwood Materials? Founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, a co-founder of Tesla and its former CTO, Redwood Materials has built an impressive portfolio of recycling partnerships, working with automotive giants like Tesla, Ford, GM, and Toyota, as well as major players like Amazon. Their facility in Reno, Nevada, is already operational, with another location under construction in Charleston, South Carolina, which will play a pivotal role in supporting BMW’s plants in Spartanburg and Woodruff. BMW's Commitment to Electric Mobility BMW is heavily investing in the EV space, currently offering a plethora of electric models: the i4, i5, i7, X5 xDrive50e, BMW 330e, 750e xDrive, XM, and the iX SUV. These models not only demonstrate BMW’s commitment to performance and luxury but also showcase their dedication to sustainability. And there’s more on the horizon, with additional news, sustainability and conceptual models, BMW's new BMW Vision Neue Klasse, where innovation always meets imagination. Join us as we await fantastic models like the BMW i Vision Dee, eagering awaiting more impressive conceptual vehicles turned to production in the upcoming future. A Greener Future Ahead The partnership between BMW and Redwood Materials signals a promising direction for the future of electric vehicles. As EVs are increasingly recognized as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, this collaboration addresses critical concerns regarding battery recycling—an area often criticized for its lack of sustainable solutions. While challenges may remain in battery development, this partnership offers hope. It’s a step toward a more sustainable automotive future, aligning perfectly with our vision at Competition BMW. We’re proud to be part of a brand that is not only redefining performance and luxury but also leading the charge in sustainability. Stay tuned as we continue to share exciting developments in BMW’s journey toward a greener future!

Competition BMW is proud to emphasize that BMW has, for the second year in a row, claimed the top spot in Consumer Reports' annual Auto Brand Report Card rankings.

Expanding on their first-hand handling, 12 models were tested for 2024, including four eco-friendly options. All options received a glowing Consumer Reports’ recommendation—a reflection of BMW’s commitment to consistent quality across the lineup. This continues BMW's reign at the top for the second consecutive year with an Overall Score of 82 and Road-Test Reliability Score of 88, five points higher than Subaru in second place.
