2022 BMW 5-Series Get Pre-Approved 2019 BMW 5 Series vs. 2020 Ford Mustang You do not have to be a BMW enthusiast to appreciate the beauty that the 2019 BMW 5 Series exudes. One look at it and you’re in love. Drive it and you immediately want to own it. Think of it as the perfect make that redefined BMW’s mid-size sedans. It now boasts of lane departure warning, pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring and most importantly, an engine performance that will blow your mind. Meanwhile, the 2020 Ford Mustang comes close as a competitor because of its aesthetic features. Performance-wise and speed-wise though, it trails behind the 2019 BMW 5 Series. Design & Style Think of the 5 Series’ cockpit as a civilized space. Everything here oozes elegance. You get to choose from a 20-way multi contour front seats which are designed to adjust in every way imaginable. It does not end there. Many elements that are designed to improve the car’s interior comfort and ambience are optional. These include the faux leather dashboard upgrade as well as real cow sourced BMW leather upholstery. 2020 Ford Mustang does not give you much of a choice when it comes to design and style. Instead, it offers the usual faux leather seats. You may also have to sometimes stretch out to reach out essential adjustment knobs, courtesy of the interior design that is wanting. This is not the case at all with 2019 BMW 5 Series where everything is within reach. Technology & Safety Expect a sizeable 10.2 inch high resolution central display which is standard on all 5 series models. The display can be controlled by the touchscreen, BMW’s iDrive Rotary Knob or through voice commands. There’s more of course. Automatic lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross traffic alert and pedestrian detection are examples of the technological and safety extras that the 2019 BMW 5 series comes along with. 2020 Ford Mustang tries to play catch up as far as technology is concerned, but it doesn’t quit measure up to what 2019 BMW Series is all about. Apart from forward collision warning and lane departure warning, there isn’t much the model offers in terms of technology and safety. Performance Efficient, smooth, and powerful. That is how to describe the four cylinder engine in the 530i engine as well as its six cylinder engine in the 540i. By these two features alone, it is safe to conclude the 2019 BMW 5 Series commands power and authority on the road. Couple this up with the model’s intuitive eight speed transmission and you have a beast on the road raking in 248 horsepower. Now apart from speed, 2020 Ford Mustang does not really come close as far as performance is concerned. The Bottom Line The 2019 BMW 5-Series does not struggle to impress. It just does. It is pretty much all you need if you’re looking for a high performance sedan complete with comfort, class and speed. Its engine performance is remarkable pretty much the same way its fuel efficiency is. Ready to Schedule a 2019 BMW 5 Series Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW M5 vs. 2020 Audi RS6 The 2020 BMW M5 has introduced the new four-wheel drive system – a first for the M5. With better traction on roads and insane acceleration timings, the M5 is a force to be reckon with. On the other hand, the 2020 Audi RS6 is an excellent family car with fantastic performance. Here is a comparison between both cars. Design & Style There are very few differences between the Interiors of the 2020 BMW M5 and that of the standard 5-series, which isn’t a bad thing at all! With bolstered sport seats, cushioned armrest and edges trimmed in premium leather, the M5 is a very comfortable and luxurious car. With the wide range of steering wheel and seat adjustments, it is easy to get comfortable in the M5. The cabin comes with carbonfibre trimmings and leather seats as standard in the 2020 Audi RS6. With bolstered seats and seat adjustments, it is easy to feel comfortable in the RS6, especially for long rides. The overall dark-grey ambience of the cabin can be rather dull for some, but this is compensated by the attention to detail that Audi has put into designing the cabin. Technology & Safety There is a lot to look forward to when it comes to the iDrive infotainment system in the 2020 BMW M5. The infotainment system offers many applications and is loaded with tons of high-tech features. Some exciting ones include BMW personal assistant and gesture controls. It is certainly one of the best in the market and is easier to use. Besides the standard safety features, the M5 has electronic stability control, BMW Assist and blind spot detectors in place. The 2020 Audi RS6 gets an 8.0-inch crisp screen that displays Audi’s intuitive MMI infotainment system. Offering services such as Apple Carplay, satellite navigation and audio streaming, the MMI system is still one of the better ones out in the market. However, it still lags slightly behind class-leading BMW’s iDrive system. In addition to the standard safety features, the RS6 has electronic stabilization control, pedestrian detection and engine immobilizer with crash sensor. Performance The base eight-cylinder 4.4-liter turbocharged engine in the 2020 BMW M5 can produce up to a mighty 600-horsepower. As compared to the 2020 Audi RS6, the eight-cylinder 4.0-litres turbocharged engine of the RS6 can produce up to 590-horsepower. Both cars offer the four-wheel drive system, which provides better road traction and faster acceleration. The Bottom Line The 2020 Audi RS6 is beloved for providing an excellent performing engine in the form of a family car. From this comparison, however, it is obvious that the RS6 pales in comparison to the 2019 BMW M5 for a multitude of reasons – better engine, design and infotainment system. The 2019 BMW M5 is just that much better! Ready to Schedule a 2020 BMW M5 Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW M5 vs. 2019 Porsche Cayenne With a twin turbo v-8 engine capable of unleashing 600 plus horsepower, it is hard to deny the fact that the new 2020 BMB M5 is an unstoppable force on the road. It accelerates fast, with unbridled ferocity – something you’ll fall in love with if you are a speed junkie. The icing on the cake is of course, its design which will leave you in awe. Then there is of course, the fact that the 2020 BMW M5 is loaded with high tech gadgetry to make your driving experience something you’ll always look forward to. Then there is the 2019 Porsche Cayenne, which comes really close but does not really match what 2020 BMW M5 has to offer. Design & Style There’s something about the new 2020 BMW M5’s elegant interior that will easily grab your attention. The interior is both supple and elegant with supportive seats to ensure you can drive all day long in sheer comfort. The interior goes a step further to ensure the driver’s seating position is elegantly and accurately optimized for performance style driving. The icing here is a slew of desirable features like customizable ambient interior lighting, heated seats, horsepower adjustable steering column and a heated steering wheel. Porsche offers what many describe as a blank canvass as far as design and style are concerned. The driver faces a somewhat snazzy gauge cluster complete with an analog tachometer that is flanked by a 7 inch screen display. But that’s all there is into 2019 Porsche Cayenne’s design and style. It is in simple words, basic. This is the first place it loses the medal to 2020 BMW M5. Technology & Safety Think of M5’s technology and safety features as something you have only seen in a science fiction movie. It almost feels surreal with perks like the famous BMW iDrive software atop the dashboard. The software is controlled an accessible rotary knob on the center console. You also get to enjoy a 600 watt Harman Kardon audio system and a one of a kind wireless device capable of charging all 2020 models. For those who are into fancier features, there is an optional rear seat entertainment system complete with a 16 speaker and 1400-watt Bowers and Wilkins Sound System. 2019 Porsche Cayenne does not have much to offer here. This does not mean though that it is a lesser model. It simply does not match what M5 has to offer.For starters, it lacks Porsche’s version of the iDrive software that many modern BMW models have to offer. It also lack auto android. The only major highlight here is 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot. Performance The M5 is not your ordinary sedan. It is big. It is fast. It is strong. That’s what you should expect anyway when it comes to a model that churns 600 plus horsepower from a twin turbo V8 engine. It can easily bot up to 60 mpg in less than 5 seconds. That is simply mind-blowing for a luxury SUV. Again, this is where the 2019 Porsche Cayenne losses the medal to M5. Apart from selectable drive modes and easy acceleration, Porsche Cayenne does not have much to offer in terms of performance. It is worth noting though it is somewhat fuel efficient. The Bottom Line Think of the new 2020 BMW M5 as your dream car. It delivers exactly what it promises or as many BMW enthusiasts like to say, with the M5, what you see is what you get. It boasts of key safety features that any speedy SUV should have. In short, it is an all balanced model. Ready to Schedule a 2020 BMW 5 -Series Test Drive Today?

2022 BMW M5 Get Pre-Approved 2020 BMW M5 Vs 2020 Tesla Roadster The BMW M5 series has been around for quite some time. The latest generation is however, a sight to behold. It is drenched in beauty. It drips elegance. It exudes confidence. It is a master on the road. You only need to look at its performance, infotainment and other key features to realize why the car is irresistible. First off, it accelerates with unbridled ferocity, thanks to its twin turbo v8 designed to uncork 600 plus horsepower. Note that the car is an all-wheel drive so when you step on the gas pedal, you send power to four different parts. You end up cruising at 60 kph in less than 5 seconds. Then there is the 2020 Tesla Roadster which is allegedly the M5’s main competitor. It is a good car but one does not need to go far especially in terms of performance to see why it easily losses out to the M5. Design & Style It is a beast. It is a machine, yes. You cannot take away though the fact that it is a one of a kind machine and beast with a fine touch of comfort, class and elegance. An optimized driving sitting position, customizable ambient interior lighting, a heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats are just some of the extras the M5 has to offer. Its interior storage is also something else – the trunk can easily hold up to six carry on suitcases. It is sizeable to say the least. Not much has been written about its design and style though. You can’t help but notice though that it yet another sporty car aiming at buyers with luxury in mind. It does not inspire much especially for buyers who are keen on space. Technology & Safety You know you’re driving a good car when the manufacturer makes deliberate efforts to guarantee your safety. That’s exactly what BMW did with the M5 series. It features innovative technological features like lane departure warning, lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. The car simply makes you feel safe even if you’re just starting out on driving. It even gets better with other safety features like forward collision warning and automated emergency braking. It is worth noting that the 2020 Tesla Roadster is still a concept. Much of what is available is not something experts can write about with certainty and precision. To that end, the M5 clearly holds a candle to Tesla’s 2020 Roadster. Performance Put the 4.4 liter v8 twin turbo engine with 600 horsepower coupled with 553 lb-ft horsepower on hold for a second. The 2020 MS is more than that. The car is super-fast. It can launch to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. It is quicker than all the other previous M5 models. Remember you get to choose different driving modes. There is for instance, the comfort mode which is strange for the model but as strange as it sounds it is a quiet yet powerful driving mode. It guarantees placid cruising in a whisper quiet cabin! The Bottom Line Much has been said and written about the 2020 M5 series. One thing’s for sure though. It always delivers. It has the speed, it boasts of a performance you will without a doubt love and most importantly, it incorporates reliable safety features. You will find it hard, if not impossible to resist.

The 2019 Audi TT RS is a fan-favorite when it comes to buying coupé sports cars, boasting excellent engines and a great interior. Here is a comparison between both cars. Design & Style The 2019 BMW M2 is a stunning coupé that can fit up to 4 passengers comfortably. The M2 proves that you don’t have to sacrifice practicality while designing a great-looking coupé. The 390-litre boot provides large amount of space for your items and there is plenty of legroom for your passengers to be comfortable, which is unlike most coupé sports cars. Trimmed with leather upholstery and equipped with seat and steering wheel adjustments, it is easy to feel comfortable on the M2. Audi has a reputation of producing excellent interiors for their cars and the 2019 Audi TT RS is no exception. It’s the small details in the design, such as the stylishly designed controls, that makes the TT RS stand out from the rest. Trimmed in chrome accents, soft plastics and nappa leather, the TT RS is a really luxurious car. Our only qualm about its design is that the seating position of the driver seat isn’t ideal for a sports car. The pedals can feel rather close to the driver and the seat is set relatively too high to recreate the sports car feel. Technology & Safety There is a lot of features to look forward to when it comes to the 2019 BMW M2. The M2 is gifted with BMW’s excellent iDrive infotainment system. The system is loaded with tons of features such as BMW personal assistant, Apple Carplay and Spotify. The rotary dials and touchscreen has made it easy to use, even when on the move.

Fitted with a 14-speaker stereo, Audi’s excellent MMI infotainment system, the 2019 Audi TT RS has many good features that drivers can look to expect. The infotainment system is placed is displayed behind the steering wheel, along with the car’s gauges. Being the only screen featuring the infotainment system, we find this to be very distracting when on the move. Additional safety features include security systems and blind-spot monitoring. Performance The base six-cylinder, 3.0-liter turbocharged engine in the 2019 BMW M2 can produce up to an excellent 410-horsepower. As compared to the 2019 Audi RS3, the five cylinder 2.5-litres turbocharged engine of the TT RS can produce up to 395-horsepower. Despite being quicker than most of its competition, the steering of the 2019 Audi TT RS isn’t as responsive. The Bottom Line With its excellent interior design and fantastic engine, the 2019 Audi TT RS has been beloved by many. From this comparison, however, it is obvious that the TT RS pales in comparison to the 2019 BMW M2 for a multitude of reasons – better designed seating arrangement and better infotainment system.

The Bottom Line Many strides in improvement from its predecessors has made the 2019 Audi RS3 beloved by many.

The cabin is well designed and offers sufficient space for both the front-seat and back-seat passengers. The exterior is no let-down as well and is an absolutely stunning car. The interior of the 2019 Mercedes Benz B-class doesn’t disappoint as well. The layout of the dashboard is practical and makes using it easy. The use of tactile, premium, black plastic and metal touches in common places gives the interior a luxurious feel. The seats are spacious enough and provides sufficient leg-room. However, our only criticism is that its interior doesn’t feel quite as well-built as compared to the 2-Series. Technology & Safety The 2019 BMW 2-Series carries the iDrive infotainment system and comes with a reliable navigation system as well. Other technologies included in this ride are its 6.5-inch display, Bluetooth interface, and a USB port.

Besides the mandatory safety equipment in place, the B-class offers active cruise control and lane keeping assist as well.

2022 BMW X7 Get Pre-Approved 2019 BMW X7 vs. 2019 Toyota Fortuner There aren’t many adjectives that aptly capture what the 2019 BMW X7 is all about. Magnificent, elegant and classy all come close enough though. With an award-winning exterior design and an interior that is spiced up with mind-blowing innovating features, it is hard to resist what BMW X7 has to offer. From an impressive engine torque and speed all the way to safety and aesthetics, BMW X7 simply has it all. The Toyota Fortuner tries to catch up but like you may have already figured out, BMW X7 easily bags the medal on a side by side comparison of the two models. Design & Style The X7 has an attractive and bright satin exterior, especially after the front wheels. The interior as well is top-notch quality and fitted with features designed to give you a unique driving experience. The start-stop button is strategically located for easy access. The same can be said of the Swarovski crystal shifter, iDrive controller and the stereo volume knob. The 2019 Toyota Fortuner aims at appealing more to those people who prefer curves and sweeping lines making it a bit less attractive than the BMW X7. Its controls are designed logically as well although some buttons are small and there is no volume knob. Technology & Safety The BMW X7 boasts of the 7th generation iDrive infotainment system equipped with large and sharp screens, graphics that are appealing as well as a variety of input options. In addition to the 12.3-inch screens for infotainment needs and the one for gauges and driving information, the BMW X7 also has a big and multicolored head-up display with quality graphics. It also provides for wireless charging as well as Apple CarPlay. Wi-Fi connectivity is also available but is subject to an annual subscription. On matters safety, the X7 is fitted with top-line exterior lights that have adaptive LED headlights and fog lights in front. It also has progressive brake lights at the back.

There is also no provision for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The 2019 Toyota Fortuner also has no fog lights and its headlights are halogen units. Performance The X7 is fitted with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine. That explains why it almost effortlessly produces an amazing horsepower of 445 and 479lb-ft of torque. It is simply a beast on whichever terrain you drive it on. The 2019 Toyota Fortuner is powered by the 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel. It produces 130kW, 174 horsepower and 450Nm. This is not even close to what the BMW X7 has to offer. The Bottom Line The 2019 Toyota Fortuner is a great car but it is clearly no match for the BMW X7.
