2022 BMW X4 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X4 vs. 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan With great looks and a practical cabin design, the 2021 BMW X4 is an all-rounded car than can still deliver a thrilling ride. The car features a large roomy cabin and generous trunk space. In the 2021 edition, this great SUV has been refreshed to enhance its sporty features. You cannot go wrong with the BMW X4. While the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan offers a composed ride, it is hardly what can be called a sporty SUV. It is however roomy and practical. Let us compare these two vehicles and see which one you should purchase. Design & Style With a refreshed design that features a sloping roofline, the BMW X4 is as sporty as ever. BMW has also done an outstanding job with the body contours and the sleek tail-end of the X4. Despite this roofline, there is ample legroom and headspace in the back of the car. Unlike many other SUVs in this category, the car has plenty of trunk space as well making it a practical car for everyday use. When it comes to the 2021 Tiguan, you get a vehicle that is designed more for functionality rather than excitement. The interior is comfortable though a little bland. Technology & Safety The BMW X4 features a variety of tech such as a 10.0-inch infotainment system. Commands are swiftly executed and the fact that the system can handle voice commands only makes it better. Safety features include blind-spot monitoring as well as automatic emergency braking. The Volkswagen Tiguan comes with a 9-speaker audio system which most users will find satisfactory. You also get phone charging ports and smartphone integration. Most other features come as options. Performance The base model of the BMW X4 features a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that makes the X4 very fast. Using BMW’s superior cabin insulation technology, the 2021 X4 delivers a quiet ride even at high speeds. Driving on rough surfaces is easy with the X4 as the suspension system is engineered to cancel out most of the surface imperfections on the road. When it comes to the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan, you get a fairly composed ride although this changes as you move up the rev meter. The car handles poorly at higher speeds and the cabin can get very noisy. The Bottom Line When all is said, the BMW X4 and the Volkswagen Tiguan are two very different cars. The Tiguan is built for sedate functionality while the X4 delivers both functionality and driving thrills. With a superior cabin, superior-tech to boot, the BMW X4 is clearly the car you should go for. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X4 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW X3 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X3 vs. 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque With a remarkably sporty design and roomy cabin, the 2021 BMW X3 combines good looks and functionality that are hard to match. This is a car that is designed to thrill and it does so in spadefuls. For 2021, the X3 gets a few touchups that make it better than ever. On the other hand, the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is an equally stylish car with a sporty design. Space however is a problem and the design poses several challenges when it comes to everyday driving. Here is a comparison between these two cars and a verdict on which one is the best. Design & Style For 2021, BMW has retouched the front grille of the X3 making it sharper and sportier. Most other things remain the same including the sporty stance, sharp body contours, and much more. The cabin is also refreshed and features more premium materials than before. The rear seat offers ample legroom as well as headspace despite the sloping roofline. When it comes to the Range Rover Evoque, you get a unique look that certainly will make heads turn. Land Rover has added new sports rims to this car so buyers get to customize their Range Rover Evoque even more than ever. The downside to this unique body design is that this SUV has serious space issues. Another problem with the design is that the sloping roofline makes it harder to use the rearview mirror. Technology & Safety The 2021 BMW X3 features a 10-inch infotainment display that responds to both voice and touch commands. The system is fast, intuitive, and features excellent graphics. The voice command module also makes it easier to operate the system when driving. Other features that come as standard on the BMW X3 include smartphone integration among others. When it comes to the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, standard tech includes a 10-inch infotainment system and many other features. Performance The BMW X3 is powered by a two-liter turbocharged engine that gives this SUV incredible power. Acceleration is swift and sustained. When it comes to ride quality, BMW’s superb cabin insulation technology helps to keep most of the road and engine noise out of the cabin. The X3 handles well ad corners are dispatched efficiently. When it comes to the 2021 Range Rover Evoque, you get a 2.0-liter engine that can be a bit sluggish. Still, the car delivers a fairly good performance and is good enough for everyday driving. The Bottom Line While these two cars are stylish and sporty, only the 2021 BMW X3 delivers the sort of ride quality that you would expect from a sports SUV. Fast, comfortable, and highly functional, the BMW X3 easily wins this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X3 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW X1 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X1 vs. 2021 Honda CR-V When it comes to superbly engineered SUVs, nothing comes close to the 2021 BMW X1. This compact SUV features a roomy cabin and a generous trunk space, making it one of the most practical SUVs out there. Even more important is that this does not interfere with its sporty credentials nor its drivability. On the other hand, the 2021 Honda CR-V follows the long line of fantastic Honda SUVs that have proven to be practical and reliable. Though not as much fun to drive as the 2021 X1, the 2021 CR-V nevertheless ticks a number of boxes when it comes to practicality. Here is a comparison between these two popular SUVs. Design & Style The 2021 BMW X1 is a perfect blend of fun and utility. Styled to be a head-turner, the X1 features an aggressive stance and sharp contours across its body. With large sporty wheels and a road-hugging stance, this is a vehicle that will always stand out in any parking lot. The interior is equally tasteful with a well-designed instrument panel to ensure that nothing is ever out of reach. When it comes to the 2021 CR-V, you get a roomy SUV that also has been retouched for 2021. For this model, Honda has finally abandoned the boxy shape of previous models for a sleeker look. The interior is comfortable but very basic. Technology & Safety For tech and safety, the 2021 BMW X1 gets a generous amount of tech and safety features. These include a great infotainment system that runs on BMW’s iDrive software and features crisp clear graphics. Other tech features that come as standard include a lane departure warning system as well as blind-spot monitoring. For the 2021 CR-V, you get a very basic audio system that is controlled from a five-inch screen on the dash. Almost everything else in the 2021 Honda CR-V comes as an option. Performance The 2021 BMW X1 is powered by powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that is connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Churning out an impressive 200hp, this keeps the 2021 X1 fast and nimble. Ride quality is superb and BMW’s superior cabin insulation technology ensures that the X1 delivers a quiet ride indeed. When it comes to the CR-V, the ride quality is of significantly lower quality. The Honda CRV is motivated by a smaller 1.5-liter engine that is mated to a CVT transmission. While this is adequate for basic motoring needs, this is not a vehicle that is designed to offer any thrills on the road. Ride quality is poor as well with road noises making their way into the cabin. The Bottom Line While the 2021 BMW X1 is a superbly designed SUV that offers both thrills and practical value, the 2021 Honda CR-V is oriented towards functionality. With a superior design, better performance, and more tech features, the BMW X1 easily wins this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X1 Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW X1 for yourself. Come and visit us today or give us a call at (888) 734-3331 to schedule a test drive.

2022 BMW 7-Series Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW 7-Series vs. 2021 Chrysler 300 The 2021 BMW 7-Series is the flagship BMW sedan and so no effort was spared to ensure that this large sedan reflects the best of BMW engineering. The 7-Series is decked out with creature comforts that make it an outstanding executive car. However, despite the large size the car is a thrill to drive and handles like a sports car. On the other hand, the 2021 Chrysler 300 is also fairly large and comes with a choice of a V6 or a V8 engine. Unlike the 7-Series, the 300 suffers from build quality. The cabin features plenty of sub-standard materials that make it hard for this car to compete with its rivals. Here is a comparison between these two large sedans. Design & Style Given its status on the BMW range of vehicles, the 2021 7-Series is an outstanding sedan that exemplifies what a luxury sedan should look like. From soft leather-covered seats to polished silver knobs, the 7-Series is a luxury hotel suite on wheels. The cabin is roomy with instruments exactly where you would expect them. For those looking to be chauffeured in this luxury sedan, BMW offers an extended wheelbase version with even more legroom at the back. When it comes to the 2021 Chrysler 300, the styling in the cabin is attractive but feels a little dated. In higher trims, you get a leather-covered steering wheel as well as some premium materials in other places. But the 300’s cabin is a far cry from the luxurious interior of the 7-Series. Technology & Safety The BMW 7-Series comes with so much tech as standard that most other cars in this category cannot keep up. Satellite navigation, 12-inch infotainment display that handles, voice, touch, and even gesture commands. You also get wireless charging, smartphone integration, adaptive cruise control, and a lot more. When it comes to the Chrysler 300, some tech is available as standard including an 8-inch touchscreen that controls the infotainment system, smartphone integration, and more. Most of the good stuff however such as wireless charging or satellite navigation are only available as options. Performance When it comes to what is under the hood, buyers of the 2021 7-Series can expect to get a choice of engines namely a V6, V8, and V12 turbocharged engines. All three are superb and propel this large sedan at an unbelievable speed. Acceleration is not only powerful but remarkably smooth, thanks in part to a finely tuned transmission. The cabin is comfortable, quiet and road imperfections are cancelled out long before they get into the cabin. The 2021 Chrysler 300 on the other hand comes with a choice of V6 and V8 engines. Power is not a problem here but ride quality is. The cabin is not properly insulated and the stiff suspension makes for an uncomfortable ride. The Bottom Line While these two large sedans have a lot to offer, only one is truly an executive sedan. The BMW 7-Series cocoons its passengers in a cloud of luxury while delivering ride dynamics that are comparable to a sports car. This makes it the undisputed winner in this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW 7-Series Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW 7-Series for yourself. Come and visit us today or give us a call at (888) 734-3331 to schedule a test drive.

2022 BMW 2-Series Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW 2-Series vs. 2021 Audi A3 If you are looking for a sporty sedan that will turn heads wherever you go, then the 2021 BMW 2-Series is the car to go for. You get many tech features that come as standard as well as a roomy cabin. For those long trips, you also get ample luggage room that can fit numerous travel cases. All said, the 2-Series is an incredible sports sedan. When it comes to the 2021 Audi A3, you get a well-styled sub-compact sedan that has been updated for 2021. With bi-xenon headlights and large sporty wheels, this is a car that is going to wow drivers. Design & Style The 2021 2-Series is a car that is designed with motor enthusiasts in mind. With its large wheel arches and handsomely contoured body, the 2-Series is at home on the race track as it is on a shopping trip. The cabin is also well done, with an ergonomic design on the instrument panel. This ensures that every button and knob is within easy reach. With the A3, you get an equally well-styled car that features LED taillights among other features. The interior is also well done in the understated style that is a feature of all Audi cars. Space is problematic though and the luggage area is tiny. Technology & Safety When it comes to tech features, buyers of the 2021 BMW 2-Series get a host of tech as standard. This includes an infotainment system that offers real-time traffic updates. Also standard is smartphone integration and a responsive infotainment system that is super responsive. The system runs on iDrive, BMW’s highly innovative software. This means you get crisp graphics and intuitive commands. With the 2021 Audi A3, you can expect a fairly decent amount of tech as well. This includes a mobile internet hotspot as well as adaptive cruise control. The only problem with the A3’s tech is that commands are not executed as easily as in the 2-Series. Performance The 2021 BMW 2-Series comes with a turbocharged 2-liter engine that ensures this sports sedan lives up to its billing. Acceleration is smooth and the vehicle is stable even when cornering. BMW’s superb cabin insulation technology ensures that the 2-Series delivers a quiet ride even under high revs. The 2021 Audi A3 on the other hand features a 2-liter engine that delivers a fairly good performance. Handling is a bit troublesome and the Audi is a little sluggish when launching from a complete stop. Still, this will not trouble most people as the A3 is quite ok for everyday driving. The Bottom Line These two sports sedans have a lot to offer drivers. While the differences may not be much, they are significant. For example, the 2021 BMW 2-Series is a far more practical vehicle thanks to its large cabin and generous trunk space. It also drives better than the Audi A3. For this reason, the BMW 2-Series easily wins this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW 2-Series Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW X5 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X5 vs. 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport The 2021 BMW X5 is a large and luxurious SUV that has plenty to offer. Being one of the flagship SUVs from BMW (the others being the X6 and the X7), the 2021 BMW X5 is suitably decked with luxury features. The large SUV has plenty of luggage and cabin space, which ensures that you can go for long drives with your family without any problems. The 2021 BMW X5 is a great choice when you need performance backed by excellent ride quality. The 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport is also one of the top SUVs by Land Rover. The 2021 Discovery Sport is full of luxury features and tech. Here is a comparison between these two cars. Design & Style When it comes to design, the 2021 2021 X5 has been redesigned for 2021. It features a fresh and bigger grille thus giving it a sportier stance. The 2021 X5 retains its flared wheel arches as well as its large wheels. Inside, you get various leather trims and many other luxury features. The instrument panel is well designed and intuitive, meaning that everything is within reach. When it comes to the 2021 Land Rover Discovery, you get the same luxury feel that you can expect from a car of this pedigree. Everything feels premium and the car is stylishly designed in line with Land Rover’s most recent design cues. Trunk space is not generous though so this car may not be ideal as a family carrier, especially for long trips. Technology & Safety Tech features in the 2021 BMW X5 are understandably top of the range and come in plenty. The 2021 X5 features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard, which means you can do a full range of operations with your phone while enjoying complete integration with your car. The 2021 X5 also a 12-speaker audio system that is pretty awesome. Those looking for even better sound can opt for an upgrade that delivers even better sound quality. In the 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport, you get a host of features as well. There is a great infotainment system although it is not as responsive as the iDrive powered one on the BMW X5. Still, the car has plenty of tech with more available as upgrades. Performance The BMW X5 comes with a number of engine trims for you to choose from. They range from a turbocharged V6 to a twin-turbo V8 that can move the SUV from zero to sixty in just 4 seconds. Regardless of the trim that you opt for, you will have plenty of power on your hands and the 2021 X5 responds intuitively to your inputs. The 2021 Discovery Sport comes with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine which is good enough for most activities that this SUV is likely to face. It is not however finely tuned for sport-mode driving (despite the Sport label) and thus lacks the thrills that you are likely to find in the 2021 X5. The Bottom Line The 2021 BMW X5 and the 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport are both superb cars in their own right. They are well-engineered and styled, meaning most people are likely to love driving them. The X5 however edges out the Discovery Sport when it comes to tech functionality and ride quality. For this reason, the 2021 BMW X5 easily wins this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X5 Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW X5 for yourself.

2022 BMW X3 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X3 vs. 2021 Volvo XC60 The 2021 BMW X3 is an SUV that is designed to deliver a thrilling ride without compromising on functionality. With a large and comfortable cabin, the sporty X3 still manages to give discerning drivers a great ride. The 2021 version has received a few touch-ups and the X3 is sure to turn heads everywhere it goes. The 2021 Volvo XC60 is attractively designed although in keeping up with Volvo’s priorities, it is more of a functional car than a sporty ride. Still, everything is robust and the car feels firmly grounded when on the road. Here is a comparison of the two SUVs and a verdict on the winner. Design & Style With the 2021 BMW X3, drivers get a sporty SUV that has been redesigned for 2021. The flared wheel arches and the large sporty wheels are still there. The grille looks a lot sharper, giving the vehicle a very balanced look. The interior is also great and spacious. Everything in the cabin feels premium and buyers can expect the interior to be a very comfortable place. When it comes to the 2021 Volvo XC60, the cabin is also well designed and premium, though not particularly attractive. The XC60 follows Volvo’s design themes meaning it is minimalistic and laid back. While this may be attractive to some drivers, most car owners are likely to describe the interior of the 2021 XC60 as ‘plain.’ Technology & Safety With the 2021 BMW X3, you get a host of features including a ten-inch infotainment display that is powered by BMW’s iDrive functionality. The 2021 X3 also comes with smartphone integration and smart charging facilities. Many other options are available on higher trims. The Volvo XC60 comes with a host of features including a 9-inch infotainment display that works pretty well. Most other tech features are options, making it's offering a lot less than that of the X3. Performance When it comes to what is under the hood, the 2021 BMW X3 is powered by a powerful 2-liter turbocharged engine that delivers ample power to this incredible car. The 2021 X3 delivers superb ride quality and handles well around corners and twisted roads. Cabin insulation is superb and riding the X3 means gliding along the road in eerie silence. When it comes to the 2021 Volvo CX60, this is one of the areas where the car disappoints. While the 2.0 turbocharged engine of its base model delivers a superb ride, it is not an exciting one. Push the gas pedal down and nothing much happens. The 2021 CX60 is not a car that is designed to offer sporty performance and it shows. The Bottom Line When it comes to comparing the two SUVs, it is clear that they have a lot of similarities. They are both well-built vehicles with a lot to offer drivers. But the 2021 BMW X3 edges out the 2021 CX60 when it comes to engine performance. This is the basis on which we declare the 2021 X3 the winner in this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X3 Test Drive Today? At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we give you a chance to experience the pure thrill of driving a 2021 BMW X3 for yourself.

2022 BMW X2 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X2 vs. 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan When it comes to superb handling and speed, the 2021 BMW X2 is up there with the best of them. The X2 is spacious and comes with a generous trunk space, making it ideal for everyday activities. But make no mistake the 2021 X2 is a superb vehicle that delivers a thrilling ride in spadefuls. When it comes to the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan, you get a sensible SUV that delivers a great ride. Though hardly exciting, some people would love the laid-back driving dynamics of the Tiguan, let us see how these two vehicles compare against each other. Design & Style For the 2021 model of the BMW X2, you get a retouched front with a new and aggressive stance. The X2 comes with a redesigned interior as intuitively-placed controls that are within easy reach. The car has a plush interior with a real premium feel to every single component in the cabin. All in all, the 2021 X2 is a superbly designed car. The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan on the other hand is also well designed. The cabin is spacious although the sloping roof makes the trunk space somewhat tiny. Technology & Safety The 2021 X2 comes with a host of tech and safety features. For example, infotainment is via an 8.8-inch screen that is upgradable to a larger display console. You also get an 8-speaker system that is quite good although premium upgrades exist for people who want more. When it comes to the 2021 Tiguan, one gets a nine-speaker audio system as well as a variety of other features. Some of these include smartphone integration and phone-charging outlets. Performance The 2021 BMW X2 features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that is connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission system. This makes the X2 blistering fast. The 2021 X2 has a well-designed suspension system so road imperfections are cancelled out before they get to the cabin. The 2021 Tiguan on the other hand comes with a 2-liter turbocharged turbo charged engine. While ride quality is good, it is nowhere near that of the X2. The Bottom Line The brilliance of the 2021 BMW X2 lies in the fact that this is an SUV that will get your blood racing on the track or on an open country road. However, the same SUV delivers a very composed ride when doing normal things such as school runs and shopping trips. The 2021 Tiguan is a close competitor but the ride quality is not as good as that in the X2. For this reason, the 2021 BMW X2 easily wins this comparison.

2022 BMW X1 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X1 vs. 2021 Acura RDX BMW engineers went out of their way with the 2021 BMW X1 to deliver a sporty yet comfortable SUV. The 2021 X1 is not just a great car to drive but also very practical to own. With a spacious cabin and trunk space, the 2021 X1 can handle shopping errands and school runs with ease. Yet the car remains very stylish, turning heads everywhere it goes. When it comes to the 2021 Acura RDX, drivers get to choose from a variety of trims with improved features the higher one goes. Engine performance does not change-up from the 2020 variant and true car enthusiasts may not enjoy the 2021 RDX as much they would the 2021 X1. Design & Style The 2021 BMW X1 is designed to deliver the thrill of driving while remaining a practical SUV. In this, the engineers at BMW succeeded in getting the right mix. With a beautifully sculptured body and a sporty stance, the X1 dominates any curb that is parked against. The interior is also well-done meaning you have plenty of cabin and luggage space. The Acura RDX has undergone little renovation, especially given the fact that the model had been overhauled in 2020. The 2021 RDX is comfortable and has plenty of cabin space. Depending on the trim level that you choose, you might even enjoy some luxury features. But it falls flat in the face of the X1’s truly luxurious interior. Technology & Safety When you get on the 2021 BMW X1, the first thing that strikes you is the fact that this is a car that is well decked out in tech. The X1 has an infotainment system that is powered by BMW’s iDrive software that makes changing channels as well as other operations smooth and intuitive. When it comes to the 2021 Acura RDX, you get a 10-inch infotainment system that, although good, struggles to respond to commands. The instrument panel is strangely designed, which some people may like but most others will need some time to get used to. Performance The 2021 BMW X1 is motivated by a 2-liter turbocharged engine that easily generates 188hp. This keeps the vehicle adequately powered and ensures that you get a silky-smooth ride. Transmission is via an eight-speed automatic transmission that is smooth to engage. Corners are dispatched with ease and the 2021 X1 is truly an exciting vehicle to drive. When it comes to the 2021 Acura RDX, you get a 2.0-liter engine that though acceptable for school runs other everyday jobs, is unlikely to thrill car enthusiasts. The Bottom Line When it comes to speed and agility, nothing beats the 2021 BMW X1. The X1 is designed to be a driver’s car that can also handle everyday duties. In this, the 2021 X1 beats the 2021 RDX hands down. It is a better car in almost every way. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X1 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW M5 vs. 2021 Porsche Panamera Turbo As far as high-performance cars go, the BMW M5 is at the top of this category thanks to its incredible build and performance. BMW has given the 2021 model of the M5 an all-wheel system which enhances its grip on the road and makes it possible to drive it at high speed on the track. To go with the all-wheel system, the 2021 M5 also gets an advanced traction control system that is specially tuned to work with the 2021 BMW M5. On the other hand, with the 2021 Porsche Panamera Turbo, buyers can expect to get an exceptional sports car that comes with a host of tech features. The only downside to the 2021 Panamera Turbo is that it suffers from low build quality that one would not expect to find in a car of this pedigree. Here is how the two sports cars stack against each other. Design & Style The 2021 model of the BMW M5 comes with various new features such as restyled headlights as well as brighter interior lighting (LED-based). With comfortable sports seats and a steering wheel that is specially designed to enhance the driver’s grip, this is a sports sedan that looks and feels sporty. When it comes to the 2021 Panamera Turbo, you similarly get a well-styled sports sedan with a spacious cabin and a generous luggage area situated underneath the sloping roofline. Although the Panamera Turbo is great looking, the base model is rather spartan and the luxury features that are common in sports cars far below the Panamera Turbo’s price point, are missing here. Technology & Safety Standard in the 2021 BMW M5 is a 12.5-inch infotainment display that controls a very intuitive infotainment system. The system runs on BMW’s iDrive software and allows for voice commands. Given the sporting heritage of the M5, BMW thoughtfully places the infotainment display and angled it towards the driver to make it easier to operate. Smartphone integration is one of the other options that come standard in the M5. The Porsche Panamera Turbo features a 12-inch infotainment display which sadly, is confusing and difficult to use. The software that runs it is not as responsive as one would expect in a Porsche. The Panamera Turbo similarly has no smartphone integration as standard and buyers looking for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto must pay extra to get them. This is odd in a car that is already quite expensive. Performance The 2021 BMW M5 comes with a 4.0 turbocharged V8 engine that delivers incredible power to the BMW M5. This massive engine moves the M5 from naught to sixty in a staggering three seconds. This is super-car territory and considering that this is a four-door sedan that can still do school or shopping runs, is mind-blowing. Driving on the racing track is equally impressive in this incredible vehicle. The 2021 M5 delivers a composed ride and handles beautifully. With the 2021 Porsche Panamera Turbo, one gets an equally impressive engine in the form of a 4-liter turbocharged V8. Just as in the BMW, the Panamera Turbo has incredible power and speed. Handling is not as refined as in the 2021 M5 though and the ride quality is not what you would expect in a Porsche model.

2022 BMW M4 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW M4 vs. 2021 Infiniti Q50 When it comes to sporty looks and incredible performance, it is hard to rival the 2021 BMW M4. This is a car that is designed for the race track and it shows from its striking looks to its enhanced performance. The M4 features a classy interior and the M4’s trademark kidney-shaped grille that gives the 2021 M4 an outstanding presence. Coupled with a classy interior and superb ride quality, you can’t get a sports sedan that rivals the 2021 M4. With the 2021 Infiniti Q50, you get a great sports sedan with a sporty profile and great driving dynamics. The 2021 Q50 is not a very practical car, however, thanks to the limited luggage area and lack of cubby holes in the cabin. Let us compare the two cars and see which one emerges at the top. Design & Style The 2021 BMW M4 borrows a number of styling cues from its sister the BMW 4-Series. Despite this, the 2021 M4 is a well-designed car with a very distinctive profile of its own. For example, the 2021 M4 comes with enhanced sports features such as a thick steering wheel that is designed to enhance the driver’s grip. The 2021 M4 also features sporty bucket seats as well as large wheels. Functionality is not compromised as this is a car that has a spacious interior and generous luggage space. On the other hand, the 2021 Infiniti Q50 is equally good-looking and equally well-styled. The interior build quality is not at par with that in the 2021 M4 and this puts the Infiniti Q50 at a disadvantage. Technology & Safety For car lovers buying the 2021 BMW M4, they can expect the base model to come with tech features such as a ten-inch infotainment display that controls the infotainment system and other cabin functions. The system can handle both gesture and voice commands making it easy to operate the system while on the road. Smartphone integration is also available as standard in the way of Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto. When it comes to the 2021 Q50, buyers can expect tech features such as automatic high beams, adaptive control, and a lot more. The car also has a 360-degree camera that helps with functions such as parking. Performance The 2021 BMW M4 features a 3-liter turbocharged engine that produces over 470hp. This makes the BMW M4 an incredibly fast car. Buyers have the option of upgrading the engine to generate even faster speeds. Despite all this, the 2021 BMW M4’s cabin remains a tranquil space even under high revs, thanks largely to the solidly-built cabin with excellent insulation. The 2021 Infiniti Q50 is also a powerful car although ride quality is not at par with the M4. For example, the car handles poorly when cornering and the cabin is noticeably affected by road imperfections. The Bottom Line While both the 2021 BMW M4 and the 2021 Infiniti Q50 are superb cars, the M4 is the better sports sedan by a mile. It delivers a superb performance while being a practical every-day vehicle. The M4 is also built better with a lot of attention given to small details. This makes the 2021 BMW M4 a clear winner in this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW M4 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW M2 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW M2 vs. 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby The 2021 BMW M2 is a startlingly good-looking car that builds on the heritage of the M2 model’s sporty DNA. The latest in BMW’s line of sporty and compact sedans, the 2021 M2 features super-responsive acceleration, great looks, and a performance that will thrill any car enthusiast. The 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby is also a great-looking car that offers a brilliant ride. Iconic and imposing, the Mustang Shelby is also another favorite of car enthusiast all over the United States. The downside though is that the Mustang Shelby is very expensive and may not deliver value for money. Design & Style The 2021 BMW M2 is designed for thrilling rides and this shows in its road-hugging profile as well as the good-looking sporty wheels. BMW has added a new range of sports rims on the M2 for you to choose from when buying the 2021 model. The interior is also solidly built and features premium materials everywhere. The instrument panel is ergonomically designed with every single control within reach. When it comes to the 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby, the iconic exterior design does not match the interior. The 2021 Mustang Shelby is full of less-than-premium materials which is surprising for a car of this pedigree. Space, especially trunk space, is limited but again, this is not a car that people will buy to use for everyday activities. Technology & Safety The 2021 BMW M2 comes standard with an eight-inch infotainment display that is cleverly mounted on the dashboard and slightly tilted towards the driver thus improving its functionality. Smartphone integration is also standard in the 2021 M2 as is blind-spot monitoring and forward-collision warning system. When it comes to the 2021 Mustang Shelby, buyers can expect an infotainment system that is controlled by rotary knobs. The graphics on the infotainment system are of low quality and the system is not as responsive as those of cars in this category. Considering that this is a car with a price tag that is north of $80,000, this is rather disappointing. Performance Performance is everything in the category that the 2021 M2 occupies and so it is no surprise that this car comes with a finely tuned engine. The 2021 BMW M2 is powered by a twin-turbo 3-liter engine that gives the 2021 M2 incredible speed. Drivers also get to choose between an automatic and manual transmission for a truly-track racing experience. The 2021 Mustang Shelby is an equally thrilling car to drive, thanks largely to its 5.2-liter V8 engine that gives the Mustang Shelby extraordinary power. Sadly (and surprisingly), Ford does not have a Mustang Shelby variant with manual transmission. This takes away from the thrill of driving this car down a track. The Bottom Line The 2021 BMW M2 and the 2021 Ford Shelby Mustang are both cars that are sure to thrill any discerning driver. Fast and powerful, they fit perfectly into their compact sports car niche. However, the M2 is more well-rounded than the Mustang Shelby. It has a much better cabin, offers drivers the option of a manual transmission, and delivers greater value for money. In this sense, the 2021 M2 easily wins this category.
