The BMW Z4 M40i Pure Impulse Edition emerges from BMW USA as the newest striking testament to BMW’s engineering prowess and design philosophy. Setting a new benchmark for 2024 model year roadsters, this 2-seater, rear-wheel-drive gem is not just a car but a representation of pure driving pleasure. Excitedly for 2024, the BMW Z4 Pure Impulse Edition has a six-speed manual gearbox that was developed specifically for the 2024 BMW Z4 Pure Impulse Edition! Combining traditional sports car dynamics with modern innovations, the BMW Z4 M40i Pure Impulse harbors a potent 340 hp straight-six engine, a scorching masterpiece that launches the BMW Z4 from 0-62 mph in just 4.6 seconds when equipped with the manual gearbox. This six-speed manual transmission, a rarity in today’s market, has been specially developed for the Z4 M40i. It incorporates M-specific components tailored to the engine’s robust output, including a custom outer shift mechanism. This setup ensures gear shifts are not only swift but also intuitive, providing a driving experience that’s both engaging and exhilarating. The BMW Z4 M40i Pure Impulse Edition doesn’t just excel in speed; it’s a mastermind in handling and agility. The retuned chassis, variable sport steering, and M Sport brakes work together to deliver an impeccable driving experience. The M Sport differential (with model-specific control logic) ensures power is distributed efficiently to the rear wheels, enhancing the traction and stability. An adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled dampers, exclusive to the Pure Impulse Edition, adjusts dynamically to driving conditions, offering unparalleled control and comfort. The addition of bespoke auxiliary springs and a reinforced anti-roll bar clamp further refine the vehicle’s responsive nature. “Pure” Distinction The BMW Z4 Pure Impulse Edition stands out not just for its performance but also for its visually striking features. For the first time, the model sports mixed-size M alloy wheels—19″ at the front and 20″ at the rear— originally exclusive to BMW M GmbH, in a stunning black high-gloss finish. These staggered wheels not only enhance the car’s aggressive stance but also optimize the transfer of power to the road. Exclusive design elements such as new exterior paint finishes, M high-gloss shadowline trim, and unique badging underscore the car’s exclusivity. The aerodynamic balance is fine-tuned through specially designed flaps and black high-gloss mirror caps, while red M Sport brake calipers add a splash of sporty flair. For the U.S. market, the BMW Z4 M40i Pure Impulse Edition can be adorned in an exclusive, captivating Sanremo Green Metallic, although the full palette of BMW Z4 Individual colors remains available for personalization. Inside, the cabin exudes luxury and exclusivity with Cognac Vernasca leather trim accented with black M piping, exclusive to this edition. The interior is further distinguished by black high-gloss trim strips and a model-specific M gear shift lever, enhancing the tactile and visual appeal of the driving environment. The BMW Z4 M40i Pure Impulse Edition is a rare blend of performance, luxury, and exclusivity. It represents the pinnacle of BMW’s roadster lineup, offering a driving experience that’s both exhilarating and refined. With its bespoke engineering, distinctive design, and limited availability, the BMW Z4 Pure Impulse Edition is destined to become a coveted model among driving enthusiasts and collectors alike.

BMW and Kith have begun their second season of collaboration together! Competition BMW of Smithtown is waiting at the edge of our driver’s seat for their release to drop! This continued collaboration is due to the extreme success of their first launch in 2020 with the design of the BMW M4 Competition Coupe. There were 150 editions of this rare BMW M4, and every single unit sold out in less than 30 minutes. Ronnie Fieg is the founder of Kith. Kith is a streetwear brand that was founded and is based in NYC. Kith is their own in-house label of premium products, but Kith also houses a curated selection of multi-brand apparel and footwear. This home of collaborative titans makes Kith a household name. Kith has humble beginnings, Fieg was working his way up the ladder first as a Floor Salesman, to Assistant Manager, to Junior Buyer then as a Buyer. Kith was founded after a 2007 collaboration with Asics, a sneaker brand, when the brand reached out to Fieg inquiring to combine talents. After Asics reached out to Fieg, the rest is history. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, Fieg runs Kith with extreme care and consideration. Fieg aligns Kith with brands and ideations from his childhood, putting careful thought into where he pours his energy and brand. Fieg desires to shift the current landscape of fashion, while still operating under his personal philosophy of, “giving the consumer more than what they pay for.” Currently, Kith operates in two different fields: Kith, the multifunctional lifestyle brand for men, women and children, and Kith, a progressive retail establishment. In 2015, Kith began its expansion with Kith Treats. Kith Treats, the first official branching off of the Kith brand, stemmed from his childhood dream of opening up a cereal bar one day. Fieg loves cereal, from his youth to now, therefore it is natural that Fieg has 8 different Kith Treats locations. Kith Treats is considered a staple within the Kith brand, serving up custom milkshakes, ice cream bowls and cones, new apparel and travel cups, to name a few. Kith has also opened their first restaurant in Paris, where they are bringing a taste of New York to Sadelle’s at Kith Paris. You can see Ronnie Fieg’s fondness for his childhood reflected in the types of storefronts he opens up and by the brands he collaborates with. Fieg teamed up with BMW due to his childhood passion for the vehicle brand, which stems from his grandfather and their bond. Additionally, Fieg owns an incredible collection of BMW vehicles, including the rarity that is the BMW E30 M3 by Kith (stemming from the first season of their collaboration.) Fieg has now transformed the 1972 BMW 1602 into a contemporary electric car. This transformation resulted in the unique, one of a kind, 1972 BMW 1602 Elektro by Ronnie Fieg. The interior on the redesigned 1972 BMW 1602 Elektro is a wave of full-grain Merino leather in the color Caramel. The leather on the seats and in the front footwells are embossed with the Kith lettering. The Kith lettering can also be found on the renowned front BMW emblem, displaying Kith instead of BMW. The Kith branding is also plastered on all 4 center caps on the 1972 BMW 1602 Elektro wheels. As previously mentioned, Kith operates on two different planes: a multifunctional lifestyle brand for men, women and kids, and as a progressive retail establishment. Kith is honed into each genre and the expansion is rapid. Kith strives, pun intended, to dip their toes in many different genre pools. Ronnie Fieg has opened 3 shop-in-shops in Bergdorf Goodman, Hirshleifers and Selfridges. With such a unique and innovative brand collaborating with BMW, the result is a car as equally creative and unique! Introducing a familiar face with a new face....The BMW i4 M50 in Kith Vitality Green. For the first time ever, BMW is naming one of their paint colors after a brand partner, Kith Vitality Green. This shrubbery-inspired shade is rich, dark and not available on a serial BMW! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kith (@kith) The BMW i4 M50, BMW’s first fully electric model, will be sprayed with Kith Vitality Green. This rare shade will only be sprayed onto 7 BMW i4 M50 by Kith vehicles. 1 of these 7 vehicles will be auctioned off at Sotheby’s on October 7th, 2022. This singular vehicle is the only 1 of the 7 that are being sold to a global audience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kith (@kith) The BMW i4 M50 combines both innovative powers of BMW M and BMW I and weaves in the street strength of Kith. The Kith version of the BMW i4 M50 will also have the redesigned BMW to Kith emblems, the hood roundel receives an outer tri-green ring that lists the collaboration, the model, the year as well as the fact this show stopping vehicle is FULLY ELECTRIC! The rear decklid also features the Kith Motorsport logo in black, a recognizable remix to the BMW M logo. The interior also features the renowned BMW Individual Caramel Merino full-grain Merino Leather on the knee bolster, steering column, seats, side paneling, A and B posts and on the trimming on the front and rear floor mats. The front seat headrests and front center armrest are debossed with a Kith monogram pattern. The cup holder’s lid is laser-engraved with a collaborative logo and “Elektro-Auto” and the trim above the glove box is laser-engraved with “Kith Exclusive Edition.” The BMW i4 M50 comes with the standard BMW equipment as well as a few special additions! The M sports brakes with red brake calipers pair perfectly with the adaptive M chassis, the M aerodynamic package and the BMW individual Shadow Line lights. The Professional and Plus driving assistants are also included and the fine oak wood trim is the perfect setting for the dashboard. Internally you can also find an electric sliding glass roof and externally you can also find the M high-gloss Shadow Line exterior trim. Besides the creation of these 7 BMW i4 M50 x Kith unicorns, BMW M and Kith have also created an apparel and accessories collection together. Consumers are anticipating a green, caramel and brown color palette across 51 exclusive, unique pieces. These pieces can include and are not limited to: Italian Leather Wool Outerwear Double-weave Coaches Jackets and Pants Various styles of Knitwear Heavyweight Fleece Sweatsuits Graphic Hoodies Graphic T-S hirts Leather Keychains Microfiber Towels Car Plates Canteens Umbrellas Sunglasses Leather Duffle Bags Headwear Table Trays Rugs Pins Pillows Sunglasses Snowboards Candle created with D.S. & Durga. These newly designed pieces are created with special Kith BMW roundel logos. Here are some amazing shots from the Kith for BMW 2022 Lookbook. Just when Competition BMW thought BMW can't possibly turn any more heads, the wonderful designers at BMW USA have us breaking our necks! We are so excited about the second collaboration with Kith and its founder, Ronnie Fieg. We are even more eager to see the full collection of apparel and accessories and how BMW is elegantly weaved into the designs. You can follow Kith on Instagram for the fastest updates!

The BMW brand has regained the top spot as being the most-shopped luxury car brand for the first quarter of 2022. BMW had held this top spot for the past 11 out of 12 quarters, INFINITI beat BMW at the last second in the last quarter of 2021. However, BMW beat out INFINITI once again, regaining the #1 spot as per Kelley Blue Book and also in our customers hearts! BMW’s consideration percentage went up a point from the final quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022; 21% of luxury car shoppers considered a BMW in the first quarter of 2022! Competition BMW is happy to report that there was a 37% increase in shopping for our 5 Series sedan, and a 7% increase of customers shopping for our 3 Series. The BMW 5 Series and 3 Series were not done taking crowns, both of these vehicles were included on the Top 5 Luxury Cars List for Q1 of 2022. The 5 Series took home second place, the 3 Series took home 3rd place out of 5. For the first time ever, BMW was crowned number 1 in Driving Performance!! This milestone dethroned both Porsche and Tesla. This accolade that BMW was awarded is well-deserved, with impressive vehicles and specs on every model and trim level. Highlighting the specs on both the 5 Series models and the 3 Series models will cosign Kelley Blue Book's conclusion (although a test-drive in one of these award-winning vehicles will do the same, but instead of on your computer, you'll have your foot on the gas, your hands on the wheel, and a huge smile on your face!) The BMW 5 Series is as versatile as it is popular! BMWUSA describes this series as such, "Performance...At the top of your game...Versatility is at the heart of the BMW 5 Series Sedan." The 5 Series has 8 different trim models, 2 of them being the electrified 530e model! The other 6 trim levels include affordable, but equally aggressive and still speedy base models, the 530i or 540i, with an xDrive option for both, and two supercharged BMW M Models, the M550i xDrive and the M5! The 5 Series model line up is described by BMWUSA as "precision power plants", meaning each trim level goes only as fast as you want to! The multi-faceted 5 Series really shines when comparing the engine specs. The 5 Series has engines that range from a 2 liter inline 4 cylinder engine in the 530i sedan, to the 4.4 liter TwinPower Turbo V8 engine found in the BMW M5 and the BMW M550i; with powerful options to meet in the middle, a 2.0 liter TwinPower Turbo inline 4 cylinder xDrive in the 530i xDrive sedan.  The electrified 530e and 530e xDrive do not compromise their speed, both of these special vehicles house a 2.0 liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4 cylinder engine; the 530e xDrive differs from the 530e's rear-wheel drive with intelligent all-wheel drive. The 3 Series also packs a punch by marrying power and innovation. The core models, the BMW 330i and 330i xDrive are described as compact sports sedans, "style with serious pedigree" by BMWUSA. The BMW 3 Series has engines similar to the 5 Series: 2 liter, 4 cylinder engines. However, these base vehicles from BMW combine a twin-scroll turbocharger with variable valve control and high-precision direct injection. The electrified 330e and 330e xDrive are described as an "iconic sports sedan" by BMWUSA, with innovative electric components. The BMW 330e piggybacks the core model's motor specs from the amount of liters and cylinders to the twin-scroll turbocharger and direct injection, but the electrified models have a slight variation. The BMW 330e and 330e xDrive now includes an eDrive 107 mph electric motor as well. The BMW M model, the BMW M3, is BMW's "action-packed sedan." The BMW M model is speedy to say the least as the M in "M model" stands for motorsports. BMWUSA states that "excitement knows no bounds in this extreme sports sedan...BMW M engineering levels up every drive." The BMW M3 can go from 0-60 mph in as little as 3.4 seconds. This is due to the massive power of it's engine, a 3 liter inline 6 cylinder BMW M TwinPower Turbo engine.  A simple glance at the gorgeous bodystyle and specs of the BMW M3 brings clarity as to why it was one of the most shopped luxury vehicles for the quarter. At this point, it shouldn't be a surprise that BMW has the most amount of models on the Top 10 List of the Most-Shopped Vehicles for the first quarter of 2022. The aforementioned 5 Series was ranked at 6th, the 3 Series was ranked 8th, and the BMW X5 was ranked 9th. This feat is impressive as the majority of the vehicles on the list were SUVS, 7 out of 10 vehicles were SUVs. One of the many SUVs on the list was our very own SAV, the BMW X5! The x5 is one of BMW's Sports Activity Vehicles with 5 trim levels, the X5 sDrive40i and X5 xDrive 40i, the X5 xDrive45e, and the two BMW M models, the X5 M50i and the X5 M. These SAVs have impressive horsepower, don't let their size fool you! From the base trim's engine bringing 3 liters and 6 cylinders of BMW M TwinPower Turbo power, to the 4.4 liter V8 TwinPower Turbo engine, with options in between much like our beloved 3 Series and 5 Series sedans. Segwaying from the powerful beasts that rest under the hoods, let's congratulate BMW for being awarded for the exterior silhouette of the vehicles! In the category for Exterior Styling, BMW was awarded second place! Kelley Blue Book's ranking is based on their expert number crunching and first-hand experience with these vehicles. If you don't take their word for it, come down to our showroom and take a look at our ever-changing inventory! The inventory might change, but the iconic, head-turning body styles will have the same impact regardless of the BMW model! Once again, a giant congratulations to BMW for such successful vehicles and glowing recommendations from Kelley Blue Book and the Cox Automotive Group. BMW is proud to accept these well-deserved accolades which reflect work well done. After an extremely positive first quarter of 2022, we are on the edge of our seats to see what BMWUSA has in store for the last three-quarters of the year, and for many, many title-winning quarters to come.

Competition BMW is ecstatic to announce the wait is over, we have been anticipating the arrival of the BMW i4 and finally the time has come! Competition BMW is proud to announce and discuss the first vehicle of its kind in BMW’s history, the BMW i4 M50, and the first all-electric Gran Coupe, the BMW i4 eDrive40! The innovation of BMW really has the opportunity to shine with the newly released BMW i4. With two models in its class, BMW has really exceeded expectations. The BMW i4 M50 keeps the same sporty characteristics that BMW is known for and BMW M has rolled together these iconic specs with next-gen features, striving to find a perfect balance. A perfect balance sought and achieved. BMWUSA encourages customers to “discover the intense combination of electric innovation and expert engineering” in regards to the BMW i4 M50.This brand new electric vehicle has near perfect weight distribution, which helps with responsiveness and an overall better balance for the vehicle. This 50/50 weight distribution does not take away from the aggressive and renowned BMW bodystyling, with Kidney Front Grilles and the Hofmeister kink. The i4 M50 is all-wheel drive, powered by dual electric motors injecting power to all four of the wheels independently. These dual motors also boost horsepower and acceleration; The 2022 BMW i4 M50 goes from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, with a maximum horsepower of 536 mph. The body material also strives to increase speed and precise handling, the suspension components, body panels and chassis are made from lightweight aluminum. The Adaptive M Suspension keeps consistency in regards to ride height and comfort. The BMW i4 M50 is the speedier version of the i4s, making it clear to see from the badging of BMW M on the exterior, to the M Sport Brakes and M wheels. The BMW i4 eDrive40 might not be quicker than the i4 M50, but it holds its own definitely. As the first ever fully electric Gran Coupe, the excitement does not stop there. The i4 eDrive40 goes 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds with a maximum of 335 mph. The reduction of maximum horsepower is a fair trade-off, considering the i4 eDrive40 gets over 30 more miles of range in comparison to the i4 M50. The i4 eDrive40 has a range up to 301 miles, the i4 M50 has a 270 mile range. The i4 eDrive40 has a rear-mounted motor with rear-wheel drive.
