Competition BMW of Smithtown Drives Towards the Future at the Drive Electric LI Event in Setauket

This past Friday, Competition BMW of Smithtown had the pleasure of participating in an exciting event with Drive Electric Long Island at the beautiful Heritage Spy Ring Golf Club in Setauket. The event brought together local drivers, enthusiasts, and sustainability advocates for a hands-on experience with the latest in electric vehicle innovation.

On display — and available for test drives — were two of BMW’s most electrifying models: the BMW i5 and the luxurious BMW i7. Attendees had the unique opportunity to get behind the wheel and experience the quiet power, smooth handling, and cutting-edge technology that define BMW’s all-electric lineup.

The BMW i5 impressed with its sporty yet refined drive, offering the dynamic performance drivers expect from the brand — now with zero emissions. The flagship i7 showcased the pinnacle of electric luxury, with an interior as elegant as it is futuristic and a drive that’s both whisper-quiet and commanding.

Events like these are a powerful reminder of how far electric vehicles have come — and how much farther we’re ready to go. We’re proud to work alongside Drive Electric Long Island in bringing awareness to EV accessibility, performance, and benefits here on Long Island.

A big thank you to Drive Electric LI and Heritage Spy Ring Golf Club for hosting such a well-rounded, informative day. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Created in honor of their son, King Singh, as well as his siblings, the King Fights Cancer Foundation is dedicated to aiding families of children with life-threatening illnesses. King was diagnosed with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia and a rare, incurable blood disease at the age of 2. During his 3+ years of intense daily chemotherapy, King was unmoving in his optimism. After one of his routine accessessments, King was given an option of being rewarded with either bubbles or a sticker, choosing the bubbles. Unknown to King, another patient had him under her gaze. As King was leaving the doctor's room, ready to blow bubbles, another patient began crying and pointing, requesting his bubbles. Unlike many young children, especially those who are in pain, King immediately and selflessly gave his new toy to her! Through King's unbridled consideration and generosity for others, the founders of the King Fights Cancer Foundation already the inspiration to create these special giving moments for other children all along!
