Each year, BMW of North America announces its Center of Excellence honors, and we here at BMW of San Antonio are pleased to announce that our store has, once again, been recognized as being among the very best of the best new and used BMW locations on the continent.

There are 340 total BMW dealerships in North America, all of which were measured over the course of their 2015 performance. The data is collected, and then the top 9% are rewarded for their excellent performance outstanding service.

It's always exciting to see BMW coming out with cutting-edge concept vehicles. Because while we can't know for certain if or when we will ever see these exact models in our BMW of San Antonio showroom, or out on the streets of San Antonio, what we can be sure of is that elements or the ideas behind these concepts are sure to be trickled down into vehicles that we will be able to get our hands on in the foreseeable future.

Or, in the case of the BMW X5 with eDrive, the time is now.

When you think about improved automotive visibility, chances are don’t think that fewer rearview mirrors would be the solution. Then again, BMW didn't get to where it is today by doing what was expected of them. In the brand's latest i8 concept, the Bavarian automaker has gotten rid of blind spots in perhaps one of the most unexpected manners possible: by going mirrorless.
