BMW of Bakersfield

Take one drive in a new BMW vehicle and BMW of Bakersfield thinks you won't need much convincing of the automaker's skill. But before a consumer converts from automotive shopper to dedicated BMW enthusiast, something else happens first: an initial impression must be formed.

If you like heart-stopping action and dare-devil performance then you'll love Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Sure, the fourth secret agent installment portrays the thrilling prowess of Tom Cruise in his...well...mission to conquer the impossible. But what we're really referring to in the previous statement is the daring nature of the film's four featured BMW models: the BMW 650i Coupe, BMW 650i Convertible, BMW X5 SAV, and BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept.

Urban-dwellers listen up, BMW is putting out two new uber-efficient modes of travel that are easy to get around in and use up only the teensiest amount of gasoline. What's more, they offer a wind-blowing experience and trendy styling. Can you guess what kind of vehicle BMW of Bakersfield is talking about? If you answered "scooter" than you're right on target. Dubbed the C600 and C650GT Maxi-Scooter, the sporty little motor-bikes are the premier BMW entries into the market.

As the world's largest producer of luxury models, BMW possess the ability to yank the reins and change the direction of consumer attention. With this newly-vested power, of course, comes great responsibility. Thankfully, BMW of Bakersfield feels that the upscale automaker is steering its consumers in the right direction with an expanded lineup of hybrid models for 2013.

Sometimes a light alteration can make a heavy difference. Such is the case with the use of vehicle materials. The average consumer may not consider exactly how weight plays in to a model's performance but our favorite automaker is working hard to produce new BMW variants that are faster and more fuel-efficient.

With social networking venues such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, sharing information from person to person is simple. But in a technologically dynamic world, sharing shouldn't be limited to just humans. BMW of Bakersfield thinks vehicles should get social too. After all, there's a lot of information to be passed around on the roads out there. And, it seems as though BMW agrees. The automaker is currently taking steps towards developing a new automotive sharing system called "Car-to-X."

Sometimes the rumor mill can be a useful tool, especially when it's churning out unreleased details regarding new BMW models. Other times, it just needs to be shut down. Such is the case with recent whisperings of the BMW 3 Series Touring Wagon's end. BMW of Bakersfield is extremely happy to report this particular rumor as false. In fact, the automaker will be launching a brand-new F30 platform BMW 3 Series wagon by late 2013.
