2022 BMW 4-Series Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW 4-Series vs. 2020 Infiniti Q60 If there were to be a slicker coupé version of the 3-Series, the 2020 BMW 4-Series would be it! Despite being more compact to achieve this slicker look, the practicality and performance of the car have not been compromised. The 4-Series has an all-round appeal that many car makers has failed to replicate. On the other hand, the 2020 Infiniti Q60 is a great looking coupé and has a lot of technology in them. Here is a comparison between both cars. Design & Style The 2020 BMW 4-Series has BMW’s signature driver-focused dashboard, providing comfortable reach to the controls. There are multiple adjustments for the steering wheel and seats, allowing you to have a much more comfortable ride. It is a great option for family-conscious buyers as there is quite a lot of space in the rear seats and in the trunk. The materials used in the interior are premium and the components are well-put together. Trimmed with semi-aniline leather and black textured soft plastic, the seats and interior of the 2020 Infiniti Q60 is really luxurious. There are multiple adjustments for the steering wheel and seats. However, there might not be enough of such adjustments and head room might be limited for taller drivers. Also, what’s disappointing is that the buttons might come off as cheap too. Otherwise, the interior of the Infiniti Q60 would have been great! Technology & Safety All 4 series models get satellite navigation, radio, Bluetooth and a USB port. The iDrive infotainment system is excellent and is projected on a 6.5-inch color screen. In addition to the mandatory safety features in most cars, the 4-Series has a wide range of hi-tech safety systems in place. Active cruise control, reverse camera, lane-departure warning and speed-limit display are some examples of the additional safety features. The 4-Series has also done marvelously well in crash test ratings. The infotainment system is projected on a pair of touchscreens that are placed on top of each other in the middle of the dashboard. The top screen offers navigation services and infotainment. The bottom screen takes care of the car settings and various applications. While they may look modern, the interface might be confusing to use and slow to respond. Lane departure warning, blind spot warning and drive assist technologies are some of the safety features in place. Performance With a standard six-cylinder, 3.0-litre engine, the 2020 Infiniti Q60 reaches a maximum output of 300 horsepower. The 2020 BMW 4-Series has a 4-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that produces a maximum output of 248 horsepower. Despite having weaker performing engines, the 4-Series have a wider range of engines to choose from to fit your preference. If you want to get a better-performing engine, the 435d xDrive model of the 4-Series has an engine that performs at 308 horsepower. The 4-Series is also more fuel-efficient than that of the Q60. The Bottom Line The 2020 Infiniti Q60 is an excellent car and offers many new features and design improvements from its predecessors. However, the car pales in comparison to the 2020 BMW 4-Series in many categories – better dashboard and infotainment system. The 2020 BMW 4-Series is just that much better.

2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW M5 vs. 2020 GMC Denali The 2020 BMW M5 announced its arrival in style. Its engine power, transmission prowess and comfort immediately meant all competing sports sedans had to cede power. The beast uncorks 600 plus horsepower from a powerful twin turbo V8 engine. ‘Unbridled ferocity’ – that’s how many have described how it accelerates. Keep in mind it is an all-wheel-drive so you get to enjoy it on different terrains. The fact that it is loaded with high tech gadgetry for your convenience makes it even more appealing. Revised suspension and an aesthetic upgrade from her predecessor – that’s pretty much all there is to the 2020 GMC Denali. It is M5’s worthy competitor only that it lacks in so many key aspects such as performance on the road. Its technology and safety features vis a vis what the M5 has to offer leaves quite a lot to be desired. Design & Style It looks like a sedan but it drives like a super car. Its interior is equally impressive. You’ll fall in love with the brilliant front seats – supple and comfy in support complete with a waxy feel leather trim. The interior is simply racy yet relaxed with ample space. Ambient interior lighting, keyless entry and so many other extras make the 2020 M5 a force to reckon with. Meanwhile, the 2020 GMC Denali tries its best to match what the M5 has to offer. It fails as far as space is concerned. It comes really close though in terms of interior comfort. That is perhaps the only ace it has on the sleeve against the M5. Other design elements that matter such as aesthetic appeal lets down the 2020 GMC Denali in favor of the 2020 BMW M5 Series. Technology & Safety The 2020 BMW M5 series’ large infotainment display is designed to run one of BMW’s most advanced iDrive software. It is strategically placed on the dashboard to the driver’s right making it easy for one to control it using a rotary knob placed on the center console. As far as safety is concerned, there’s the forwards collision warning system coupled with automated emergency braking. There’s also the standard lane departure warning, lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control system complete with stop and go technology. That’s the 2020 BMW M5 for you. As for the 2020 GMC Denali, expect the usual lane keeping and automated emergency braking. That is as far as it gets with GMC. Performance Numbers don’t lie. The 2020 BMW M5 series reaches 60 miles per hour in just 3 seconds. Its top speed is pegged at 156mph because it is electronically limited. Remove the limit and the beast clinches 190mph. The car’s handling is also incredibly quick. All these do not come as a surprise given that the vehicle features a twin turbocharged 4.4 v8 engine capable of producing 617 horsepower. That the 2020 GMC Denali is M5’s worthy competitor is not in question. Performance wise though, a lot leaves to be desired especially when one takes into account that with 2020 GMC Denali speed is an issue pretty much an issue. The Bottom Line 2020 BMW M5 Series has it all. It checks all the boxes from speed and comfort all the way to safety and performance. Keep in mind too that it is fuel efficient. The fact that it comes along with a pocket friendly price tag is yet another perk worth noting. Ready to Schedule a 2020 BMW M5 Test Drive Today?

The automotive giants didn’t have to that though. Instead, it snatched a lethal and powerful beast already in its arsenal – the potent s55 twin turbo engine from the M4. Its torque stands at 406 lb-ft so you know for sure you have a beast on the road. Its 8 speed transmission is also unique just in case you feed the urge to speed in style. Then there is the 2020 ranger raptor which comes pretty close to what the 2020 BMW M2 is all about as far as comfort it concerned. Ultimately though, it losses out on the weighing scale once you add in speed and performance aspects the two models have to offer. Design & Style You cannot miss the stunning details that define the 2020 BMW M2. It boasts of an enhanced aerodynamic design complete with an enlarged air inlet.

Interior space may bother you as it does not guarantee too much comfort. Technology & Safety BMW revolutionized driving immediately it rolled out its safety features like the forward collision warning. The feature now seems standard as BMW keeps on rolling out amazing technology and safety features. Take the M2’s new precision strut made of premium fiber reinforced plastic for instance.

The icing on top of the cake has to be the extra safety and technology features like blind sport monitoring and automated emergency braking systems which make you feel safe each time you’re behind the wheels. 2020 Ford Ranger Raptor also boasts of a number of safety features like forward collision warning and automated emergency braking. Other safety and technological features like Wi-Fi hotspot come at a price. Performance With the unmistakable roar of its M TwinPower biTurbo 6 cylinder engine, there is no doubt at all that the 2020 BMW M2 is beast. You easily cruise from 0 all the way to 62 mph in just 4 seconds! 2020 BMW M2 is certainly a marvel! The Bottom Line It has the speed. It has the strength. It performs with a lot of ease. Think of it as you ultimate luxury sedan with a sporty touch. It has its racing DNA carefully and intricately factored in nearly all automotive aspects.

2022 BMW X6 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW X6 vs. 2021 Porsche Macan BMW designed the 2021 X6 to be a mid-size luxury crossover with an unconventional look and a sporty performance. The 2021 X6 comes with a luxurious cabin as one would expect from a car of this pedigree. BMW also offers this car in a variety of powertrains ensuring that there is an X6 for almost all driving needs. The 2021 Porsche Macan is equally decked out with a spacious cabin and offers an equally impressive ride. The luggage space small but many drivers may decide to overlook this. In this article, we examine both SUVs and compare them against each other. Design & Style As mentioned earlier, the cabin of the 2021 X6 cocoons passengers in complete luxury. Everything about the exterior and interior is premium and the instrument panel is designed for easy operation. There is plenty of cabin and luggage space which makes the 2021 X6 a car that you can use for every-day activities. The 2021 BMW X6 comes with power-adjustable front seats and features excellent ambient lighting. The 2021 Porsche Macan disappoints when it comes to interior design and luxury. For a Porsche, many drivers will be somewhat disappointed by the less-than-premium look and feel of the interior. The 2021 Macan also features very few interior cubbies meaning that passengers will struggle to find places to put their phones and other items while in the 2021 Macan. Technology & Safety For the 2021 X6, drivers get a host of tech and safety features. These include a 12.3-inch touchscreen display that handles both Apple CarPlay and Android Audio. BMW’s proprietary iDrive software is easy to use and has no lag whatsoever when using the infotainment system. Input to the infotainment system can be through voice commands and even hand gestures. With the 2021 Porsche Macan, you get a variety of tech features which include wireless phone charging.

Performance BMW offers the 2021 BMW X6 in three powertrains with the most powerful being the V8 model. Performance is excellent and the car accelerates with no fuss at all. Handling is nimble and the eight-speed automatic transmission delivers a great ride. When it comes to the 2021 Porsche Macan, buyers can expect a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that comes in the 2021 Macan base model. One can also opt for the twin-turbo V6 which also delivers a superb performance. While the ride is refined and smooth, the 2021 Macan struggles a little around corners. The Bottom Line Both the 2021 Macan and the 2021 X6 are superb vehicles and have a lot to offer to any driver. However, the 2021 BMW X6 edges out the 2021 Porsche Macan when it comes to interior luxury as well as performance. For this reason, the 2021 X6 is the clear winner in this category.

Thanks to BMW’s legendary engineering skills, this nimble SUV handles corners and tight turns with ease. Interior design is also premium with plenty of space for both human beings and cargo. With plenty of technology and safety features, you can’t go wrong with the 2021 BMW X3. The Hyundai Santa Fe is also a very attractive SUV with the 2021 model featuring several upscale features. This gives the 2021 Santa Fe plenty of curb appeal and the roomy interior is also great for families looking for a people carrier. Here is a comparison between these two cars. Design & Style One of the biggest advantages of buying the 2021 BMW X3 is the fact that you get a lot of features as standard. For example, rear-passengers get reclining seats as standard, a feature that is not available in most other cars of its category (Not even as an option). The cabin is glossy and has an authentic premium feel to it. This allows the 2021 X3 to be a car that you can use to attend a glitzy party and then do school runs the following day. The 2021 Santa Fe features fewer premium features in the cabin although the cabin design is not bad at all. The cabin is comfortable and with certain upgrades, can be made somewhat luxurious. These upgrades include heated seats and digital gauges. Still, drivers looking for an ordinary SUV to handle day to day activities will probably not mind the 2021 Santa Fe’s shortcomings. Technology & Safety With a 10.3-inch infotainment display, the 2021 X3 is miles ahead of the Santa Fe. Throw in the iDrive software that is easy to use, features high-quality graphics and you have a clear winner when it comes to tech and safety features.

Zero to sixty is achieved in a blistering 6.2 seconds and cornering is superb. With a well-tuned suspension, road imperfections are canceled out. All said you will enjoy driving the 2021 BMW X3. The 2021 Santa Fe offers drivers several options when it comes to drivetrains. The base model features a 2-liter engine that generates about 190hp. While sufficient for everyday use, this is not a car that will thrill a discerning driver. Better engine variants are available but you have to pay for higher trims. The Bottom Line When all is said and done, the 2021 X3 is a far better automobile than the 2021 Santa Fe. The BMW beats the Hyundai in almost all categories. It drives better, handles better, and even looks better. 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 Alfa Romeo Stelvio When it comes to thrilling rides in a compact and functional SUV, there are few cars out there that can beat the 2021 BMW X2. It features a plush cabin that is designed to ensure that all the controls are easily within your reach. With a roomy cabin and a generous trunk, the 2021 X2 is a highly functional car that can easily handle school and shopping runs. It however retains its sporty ride and still delivers a great ride quality. Alfa Romeo seemed to have designed the 2021 Stelvio to be a car that delivers a sporty ride at the expense of functionality and comfort. With that in mind, the 2021 Stelvio is great to look at and the interior fairly comfortable. However, there is limited space at the rear seat and even less space in the luggage area. In this article, we compare the two SUVs and deliver a verdict on which one is the best. Design & Style With a refreshed grille and more options when it comes to wheel designs, the 2021 BMW X2 looks and feels stylish. The 2021 X2 has a plush interior with an upscale look that bolsters its premium heritage. The instrument panel is also well designed with no clutter and with great attention to detail. The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is equally well designed. The exterior is sporty and gives the Stelvio an imposing stance that one would expect from SUVs at a much higher price point. However, this was not extended to the interior and much of the cabin is covered by cheap plastic material that takes away from its premium look. Technology & Safety BMW has outfitted the 2021 X2 with a variety of tech features that are sure to thrill all X2 enthusiasts. These include an 8.8-inch infotainment display that has no lag and features clear graphics. The seven-speaker audio system is great and while an upgrade option exists, the standard audio system is quite sufficient. With the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, infotainment is via an 8.8-inch display that can be controlled by touch. The build quality of the system is not as responsive as in the 2021 X2 and sensing this, the engineers at Alfa Romeo added a rotary controller to supplement the touchscreen. Performance With the 2021 X2, buyers get a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers an impressive performance. Mated with 8-speed automatic transmission, the 2021 X2 handles smoothly on both highways and rough roads. The superb suspension system makes for excellent ride quality as well. The 2021 Stelvio on the other hand is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that offers sufficient power to the Stelvio. The car handles well and is a thrill to drive around corners. The suspension is also quite good and passengers can expect a refined ride even over uneven terrain. The Bottom Line While both the 2021 X2 and the 2021 Stelvio occupy the same niche, the 2021 X2 is by far a much more superior car. It handles better and has a better interior design. It also is more well-rounded, with ample cargo and cabin space. For these reasons, the 2021 X2 wins this comparison. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X2 Test Drive Today?

Inside, the 2021 X1 is comfortable and the interior has an upscale feel to it. While Volkswagen opted to keep the conservative exterior design, the interior of the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan is a little more modern. Materials used in the cabin are not premium at all and the instrument panel is cluttered and takes some getting used to.

The 2021 BMW X1 is not only a thrilling ride but also practical as a run-around car. With a responsive engine and generous trunk space, you are sure to enjoy this well-built SUV. When it comes to the 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman, what you get is a larger version of the tiny Mini Coopers that made the brand famous. Driving quality is nowhere near its predecessors though and handling can be problematic at high speeds. Here is how the two cars compare against each other. Design & Style BMW has made a few but significant changes to the 2021 BMW X1 model. Customers looking for a sportier look and feel can order the M Sport which comes with a host of attractive features including sports seats. The beautiful kidney-shaped grille and the aggressive stance are still there. The cabin has a premium feel and is beautifully designed for maximum comfort. The 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman is distinctly styled with LED lighting in the cabin helping enhance its premium feel. The taillights feature a Union Jack motif which helps promote its British heritage. Not much has changed on the inside though apart from gloss-black elements on the dashboard that replace the previous chrome-trims. Technology & Safety For 2021, the BMW X1 gets SiriusXM satellite radio as standard in all trims. Other than that, customers can still expect the iDrive-operated infotainment system that is controlled via an 8.8-inch touchscreen display. Bluetooth and smartphone integration are also standard in all models. Safety features such as forward collision warning are also standard in the 2021 BMW X1. The 2021 Mini–Cooper Countryman offers a variety of tech features although most fall short of the 2021 BMW X1. For example, the 2021 Countryman only offers a 6.5-inch infotainment screen as standard. To get a similar touchscreen to the 2021 X1, buyers have to cough up more cash to upgrade the trim. Performance A four-cylinder, 2-liter turbocharged engine provides all the power that you could ever need in the 2021 X1. Even when carrying full loads, the 2021 X1 never feels underpowered at all. The engine is controlled by an 8-speed automatic transmission that makes for a silky-smooth drive. When it comes to the 2021 Countryman, the base model comes with a three-cylinder turbocharged engine that is not powerful enough to move such a heavy vehicle with any kind of effectiveness. The result is a disappointing drive with the car struggling to power through the gentlest of hills. To get better performance, one has to go for higher trims which means paying more money to the dealership. The Bottom Line There is very little to compare between the 2021 X1 and the 2021 Countryman. The BMW is a better vehicle in almost every way. From design, performance, and tech, you are better off buying the 2021 BMW X1. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW X1 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2021 BMW M5 vs. 2021 Tesla Model S While the 2021 BMW M5 is categorized as a sportscar, the fact that you can get the 2021 M5 with a V8 engine that produces an incredible 617hp makes it more than just a sports car. The 2021 M5 edition is even better with a highly sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and track-ready features. The Tesla Model S was one of the first mass-produced all-electric cars that showed the world that electric cars could be everyday-use cars. The 2021 version of the Model S improves on its predecessors, offering more range and more features. The basic car design remains largely the same with a few changes made to the interior. Design & Style When it comes to the 2021 model of the BMW M5, the car features a pleasant leather interior that is properly decked out with proper sports seats. LED ambient light helps set the mood inside the cabin, which is pleasantly spacious for a compact sports sedan. Exterior styling is excellent as well and the 2021 BMW M5 is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. The Tesla Model S remains largely unchanged for 2021. The exterior styling is a little bland and does not compare with most of the other cars in its category. Inside the car, the cabin is spacious, although it cannot be described as luxurious. The 2021 Model S still feels like an experimental car and therefore any buyers will have to accept the bland styling as a work in progress. Technology & Safety With the 2021 M5, buyers can expect a 12.3-inch infotainment display that is located at the top of the dashboard and slightly inclined towards the driver. The infotainment system is powered by BMW’s iDrive software and can be controlled via voice, gesture, or touch. Also included are smartphone integration and Wi-Fi hotspot features. When it comes to the 2021 Model S, all the car’s features are controlled via a giant touch screen that is located in the middle of the dashboard. While this gives the 2021 Model S a futuristic look, it can be a little difficult (and probably dangerous as well) to operate the car while at the same time scrolling through what is essentially a giant tablet. Performance As mentioned earlier, the 2021 M5 comes with a choice of engines that buyers can choose from. The base model features a 4.4-liter V8 engine that churns out 600 horsepower. This powers the 2021 M5 from naught to 60 in just 2.8 seconds. This is the sort of performance that one expects from pricier supercars. If you need more power than that, you could opt for the Competition model which produces 617 horsepower. The 2021 Tesla Model S is powered by an all-electric engine which propels the base model from zero to sixty in an impressive 2.4 seconds. The ride quality is good and the 2021 Model S handles corners with ease. The suspension is not quite as refined as in the 2021 M5 and so road imperfections can be felt in the cabin. The Bottom Line While the Tesla Model S is a pathbreaker in many ways, discerning drivers looking for a thrilling yet composed sports car would probably opt for the 2021 BMW M5. The BMW beats the Tesla in interior styling as well as delivers a far better ride quality. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW M5 Test Drive Today?

This engine delivers 473 hp, which is remarkable considering that this is in the base model. The ride quality is superb and any road imperfections are kept away from the cabin. The 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S on the other hand is motivated by a 2-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 300 horsepower. This is significantly less than that produced by the 2021 BMW M4. The Bottom Line While the 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S is a superbly designed car, it falls short when it comes to tech features, engine performance and interior styling. When compared to the 2021 BMW M4, the BMW beats the Porsche in almost every way. Ready to Schedule a 2021 BMW M4 Test Drive Today?
