#CompetitionCares: Meet Tim

Competition BMW of Smithtown is always honored to aid the Long Island Community! For the wonderful holiday season of 2022, we are proud to support both Angels of Long Island and EJ’s PJs Pajama Drive for the second year in a row! If you are able, our donation collections are until December 14th and December 19th. We will be humbly collecting donations for Angels of Long Island until the 14th and collecting until December 19th for EJ’S PJS! Competition BMW is graciously requesting donations on behalf of Angels of Long Island. Angels of Long Island is a non-profit organization that offers a large range of goods and services to the local Long Island Community. The mission of Angels of Long Island is to advocate and aid struggling Long Islanders during these frustrating economic times. We are humbly requesting new books, puzzles, gift cards, toys, and sports equipment for children from ages 3 years old to 5 years old! Please feel no obligation to donate if you do not have the budget or means! Additionally, if you are able to donate, we request that you please do not wrap these gifts! For EJ’S PJs for 2022, we are humbly asking for new pajamas, preferably for children aged from 3 years old to 5 years old. For either of these incredible organizations, if you would like to donate something that is for children outside of this age range, we would love to accept and donate it on your behalf! Other Ways to Get Involved: The giving spirit can manifested in ways that are not exclusively monetary: - Volunteer: Angels of Long Island is in need of volunteers for various divisions within their non-profit. Currently, Angels of Long Island is looking for volunteers to help assemble bikes for their campaign “A Bike Under Every Tree”. Alternatively, you could help in toy distribution! For all opportunities, check out their website! We are so thankful for the time everyone extends while getting involved. A massive thank you to EJ's PJS and Angels of Long Island for assisting Long Island every day of every year! Thank you to the generous and grand #CompetitionBMWFAM for helping us in aiding these wonderful local families. Competition BMW are so grateful for your time, generosity and giving spirit! Competition BMW thanks everyone again for their assistance, no matter how deeply involved. Thank you for helping us spread holiday cheer, we look forward to making amazing festive memories with our incredible friends and family!

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!

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.

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.
