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

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

Competition BMW of Smithtown is wordlessly proud to have the opportunity to consistently service Long Island, New York. Our auto group, Competition Automotive Group, is based on familiar foundations, a close-knitted atmosphere and flourishing relationships within our staff members and beloved community. We are honored to always aid our immediate home, Smithtown, Saint James and Lake Grove, as well as the entirety of Long Island, the tri-state area and the country! From hosting our first in-house events: the BMW i7 and BMW X7 Launch Event and the BMW Electric Showcase Event, to giving every employee a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving, to delivering gorgeous BMW vehicles to all Long Island residents and beyond! As 2023 leads us from March to April, Competition BMW of Smithtown is excited to announce our philanthropy strongly continues! Meet Tim Meet Tim. Tim is a local Long Island resident. Tim has been getting around Long Island without a vehicle, or a license, for several years. 9 years to be exact. Tim has been unable to drive for almost a full decade due to his need of a wheelchair-accessible van. Coincidentally, our dealership principal, Joe, was casually driving along the local Ronkonkoma, Blue Point and Ridge roads when fate led him to Tim. Tim was also enjoying the local Long Island area. Tim was also driving to Starbucks. Differing from Mr. Buzzetta, Tim was not traveling in a vehicle, he was taking strides in his remote wheelchair. As fate would have it, Joe had his father's, and deceased founder's, handicap-accessible 2020 Honda Odyssey van on hand. Competition Auto Group and Competition BMW are indescribably proud to donate Joe Buzzetta Sr.'s wheelchair-accessible van to Tim! Tim is so excited to gain back access to his license, and most importantly, a grander scale of independence! We cannot thank Competition Automotive Group, the Buzzetta family and their partners for coming together to recognize a persevering local Long Islander! Safest travels Tim, from everyone at Competition Automotive Group, we wish you the best!

The 2022 BMW M4 Competition xDrive Coupe stands strong in the face of the quickest, speediest cars of 2022! Competition BMW is delighted to report that Car and Driver has named the 2022 BMW M4 Competition xDrive Coupe as one of the Quickest Cars Tested (by Car and Driver) in 2022! We've really been feeling the love from Car and Driver! This accomplishment rides on the coattails of the 2023 BMW i4 being awarded a spot on Car and Driver 's 10Best Cars for 2023 list! The 2022 BMW M4 gets the ultimate spur of rapidity with the Competition Package. There is no counter-argument when discussing how fast this rocket of a machine this is. The electronically controlled exhaust system can be customized to make a statement as boisterous as it's track time. When engaged in Sport and Sport Plus drive modes, this blazing BMW will make sure it is not just seen (and fawned over), but also heard! If you start to feel shy, the loudness of the exhaust can be turned back down by pushing the M Sound button. The BMW M4 Competition Coupe can put it's money where it's mouth is! With a grand total of 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, this blur of a BMW convertible coupe goes 0-60 in 2.8 seconds!!! Car and Driver describes all of these combined elements as, " the recipe for one of the quickest M4 variants available "; don't take our word for it, stop by Competition BMW and feel the thrill of adventure at your fingertips! Although Competition BMW loves all of our models equally, from the X models, Series, Z, i, or our fiery M models, we are so proud that the BMW M4 Competition Coupe is getting the recognition it deserves for its breathtakingly spectacular performance.

The BMW i4 is a standout in the automotive industry for 2022! This EV made history as the BMW i4 is BMW’s first EV focused specifically on driving dynamics. All of the wonderful engineering from BMW USA resulted in the BMW i4 gaining a spot on Car and Driver ‘s 10Best Cars for 2023 List! Our dealership could not be any more proud (or impressed!) The BMW i4 stood out because of its impressive acceleration, handling, exterior and value! All of these incredible features distinguished and separated the BMW i4 from all other sports sedans on the market. As previously discussed, the arrival of the BMW i4 was heavily anticipated. The innovation delivered from BMW USA really exceeded expectations. In fact, this electric vehicle from BMW is so impressive, Car and Driver believes that the BMW i4 EV exemplifies and showcases the brand’s dedication to driving performance. Car and Driver’s decision to include the BMW i4 is based on the amazingly innovative features and driving capabilities. The lack of gasoline-power and utilization of electric power did not have any impact on its overall score. The BMW i4 shows that future BMW EVs aren’t leaving BMW enthusiasts or driving enthusiasts in the metaphorical dust. BMW is not going to compromise on its blistering speeds and impressive performance just because a BMW vehicle is powered electrically. Those with a need for speed and/or a desire for something sustainable and shiny will be more than pleased with either model of the BMW i4! The BMW i4 M50 is enticingly quick, going from 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds. Although we love all of our amazing BMW vehicles equally, Car and Driver describes the performance of the BMW i4 M50 as”ab-punishing acceleration” that is “quicker than a gas powered BMW M3.”  Take our word for it, when Car and Driver describes the BMW i4 having a “ungodly power delivery”, they mean it! In combination with the power of BMW M and the BMW i4’s low center of gravity, this EV is executed and delivered to thrill! The BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe is equally impressive, going from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds! The BMW i4 Gran Coupé’s range is impressive, with a total of 301 miles! Passengers can really get comfortable in this luxurious EV, with great rear-seat livability and a lot of cargo flexibility. In conjunction with the (optional) BMW iDrive Curved Display, it is no surprise that the BMW i4 is one of 10 of the best cars for 2023! At Competition BMW of Smithtown, we know the conclusion of your trip is equally as important as the starting point! To re-emphasize, the BMW i4 was able to claim Car and Driver’s 10Best Cars for 2023 spot due to its spectacular driving performance. Car and Driver was equally impressed with the acceleration of the BMW i4 as they were with the deceleration of the BMW i4! With great power comes great braking! The BMW i4 has incredibly powerful BMW brakes and an agile suspension.

If you don’t want to just take our word for it, Car and Driver can officially confirm!

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!

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 19th, and Competition BMW has you covered for all of the men in your life! The local weather stations are reporting a beautiful, hot weekend from Bay Shore to Ridge! It will be a gorgeous weekend to spend with family, friends and that special father figure in your life. Quality time is one of the five love languages and Competition BMW suggests this route first and foremost for the father figures in your life. Long Island’s versatile culture makes finding wholesome moments easier! A quaint walk on one of the multiple beaches found on Long Island would be great as the summer sun stays out later. Competition BMW’s personal recommendation is The Kings Park Bluff in Kings Park. The ease of access for Smithtown residents makes this a nice location for an after-dinner stroll with a sunset that never disappoints. Another local recommendation is Robert Moses Beach. A large part of local fathers may find this spot nostalgic, as it has a strong history on Long Island. Robert Moses Beach is great for those father figures who want to relax under an umbrella listening to the waves, or for those who aren’t afraid to jump into the Atlantic Ocean head first! They say a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, Competition BMW’s first restaurant recommendation is to help solidify that place in his heart! The first restaurant recommendation is Nicky’s On The Bay in Bay Shore. This restaurant is right on the south shore of Long Island, surrounded by water views from the Great South Bay and Bay Shore Marina. Fittingly, it features a fish-centric menu, with indoor or outdoor seating, 100’ floating dock and gas station. The first entree is recommended by a local Huntington Father, the Braised Short Ribs. Although it isn’t from their seafood menu, men will be satisfied with the portion sizes; it comes with mashed potatoes, roasted carrots and a red wine demi-glaze. We recommend Nicky’s On The Bay for those fisherman fanatic fathers! After spending the morning and afternoon on the boat, the entire family can tie-off on Nicky’s dock and laugh and bond over a meal with the whole family! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nicky’s On The Bay (@nickysonthebay) The second restaurant that we recommend taking your favorite father figure to is Relish in Hauppauge. The entree we recommend has a perfectly fitting title, “Hungry Man Hero”. The Hungry Man Hero is on their breakfast and lunch menu, and is recommended by a local Commack father, my Father, Ken, who has been residing in Commack, Long Island for the entirety of his 60 years. This local Commackian describes Relish in Hauppauge as “unbelievable and very reasonably priced!” The Hungry Man Hero comes with three eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, cheese, and homefries. The portion was almost too much for Ken, making the Hungry Man Hero perfect for that special man in your life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Relish (@relish_longisland) If staying in is more your celebration style, we recommend Foo Luck in Commack. Foo Luck has been stationed in Commack on Commack Road since 1985. Competition BMW can personally recommend the Roast Pork Fried Rice and the Chicken Lo Mein. Foo Luck is a great option, the employees are kind and efficient and when picking up your order, the warmth from the food radiates through the bag! This is a great option for father figures of all ages to enjoy while ordering enough food to be satisfied. If gathering together over a meal is not the focal point of your Father’s Day, try spending some quality time and vocalizing how important the men in your life are! We also suggest making handwritten cards; no matter your age, the father figure in your life will know it came from your heart! Father’s Day does not have to be intricate, even buying that special father figure a beer at one of the local Long Island breweries will create memories that last a lifetime! Ghost Brewing Company, located in the Great South Bay Brewery, is a great option! Ghost Brewing Co. is showing their support for father figures by having a sponsored event between 1pm-6pm on Sunday, June 19th. This special event includes serving a three course meal and beer or cocktail of their choice for $39.95! What a great deal! Whoever you’d like to bring would get to enjoy your company, a beer or cocktail of their choice, an appetizer, a delicious meal from several options, and a sweet dessert finale!

Men of all ages will appreciate this gift of 3 years of oil and filter changes for the low price of $199*! The Ultimate Care+ plan includes oil and filter changes/replacements, as well as replacement of specific wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, wiper blades and the manual transmission clutch. The Ultimate Care+ plan is transferable as well, keeping the maintenance plan in the family if the car does as well! While your stunning BMW is in the shop, the father figure in your life can spend more time focusing on his hobbies and errands instead of considering the potential price break-down. From the Competition BMW family to yours, we wish you a happy and safe Father’s Day Weekend! However you chose to celebrate, we hope this weekend is fulfilling and full of fun! *Based on your BMW's Condition Based Service system.

June 8th is World Oceans Day! BMW is proud to raise awareness by teaming up with Oceana and Washed Ashore. Both of these great non-profit organizations work tirelessly to protect, preserve, and raise awareness for the depleting state of our oceans. Oceana is a leader in protecting and restoring marine abundance and biodiversity, Washed Ashore is a non-profit organization committed to reducing ocean plastic by repurposing ocean pollution into art that brightens communities while raising awareness. Oceana is a non-profit organization that has protected nearly 4 million square miles of ocean and has won over 225 victories for the oceans. Some of these victories include stopping bottom trawling in sensitive habitat areas of sea turtles, to commercial fishing gear, to protecting over 25,000 square miles of deep-sea coral in New England’s Georges Bank and the Gulf of Maine. Oceana’s current campaign focus is trying to protect the most endangered large whales on the planet, the North Atlantic Right Whale. The lack of population is worrisome, with less than 80 breeding females and roughly 330 whales in existence. Washed Ashore has gathered over 60,000 lbs of beach debris and repurposed the pollution into art sculptures that inspire change and spread awareness. Washed Ashore’s mission is to “build and exhibit aesthetically powerful art to educate a global audience about plastic pollution in the ocean and waterways…to spark positive changes in consumer habits”.

BMW has released the iX, the fully electric SAV, built in a 100% renewable energy plant. Learn more about the iX and i4 in our in-depth blog post here. The iX is made with sustainable materials, olive leaf tanned leather, and floor coverings and mats from recovered fishing nets. BMW has also contractually agreed with all of their battery cell manufacturers to only use green electricity when producing the fifth-generation of battery cells. With this use of green electricity, over 10 million tons of CO2 are saved within a span of 10 years. In the future, BMW will purchase its cobalt directly from non-industrial Australian and Moroccan mines, ensuring 100% transparency regarding the origin of these key raw materials. BMW will also purchase their lithium directly from the mines in Australia. SIRR-IMAGE-bdd74f66b5e346a1bcf695ee4746300f BMW has also partnered with BASF SE, a German multinational chemical company and the largest chemical producer in the world, GIZ, a German development company, Samsung SDI and Samsung in Electronics in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to create a cross-sector initiative. This initiative aims to improve the conditions in the aforementioned integral cobalt mines. GIZ will test out a 3-year-long project to improve the living conditions of these small-scale mines and their communities. If this project is a success, the approach will possibly be implemented long term, transferring to other small, non-industrial mines. BMW is proud to make waves of awareness for World Oceans Day with a power-team of nonprofits. In conjunction with BMW’s own steps towards a greener future, each year of production has a positive intent or impact on the grand scale of bettering our Earth.
