Bimmer enthusiasts who have been waiting with bated breath for more information about the all-new BMW 7 Series will be excited to hear that the brand released a teaser to their official BMW Group YouTube channel earlier this month which offers a little insight into just some of the exciting new innovations and state-of-the-art technology in this luxury car that's sure to be in a class of its own.

As the BMW 7 Series…

Here at BMW of San Antonio, we have seen our fair share of BMW brand enthusiasts walk through these doors into our San Antonio based showroom. Heck, our entire team here is composed of people with a passion for the German automotive company. And it seems like everyone who fancies themselves a BMW diehard has their own "BMW story"--an experience or instance in which they first fell in love with a BMW model or the brand at large, or something they did that captures their commitment to the impressive cars the company manufactures.

We all need to get away sometimes. Whether it's a vacation to a tropical beach, a camping trip with the family, or perhaps a quiet retreat with your significant other to a quaint cabin in the woods somewhere.

That being said, the folks at BMW know that even the best laid plans to escape the everyday hustle and bustle of life can sometimes go awry. Just check out one couple's comical close call…

At some point, the day must come for all San Antonio parents to hand over the keys to the family car to their newly licensed teenager. While exciting, this moment can be a terrifying milestone for moms and dads--after all, teenage drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 have the highest average annual crash and traffic violation rates of any other age group. That statistic is enough to make many parents forbid their child…

Progress occurs when you push yourself out of your comfort zone, when you accept failure as a potential inevitability thus ridding yourself of any fear of failing. History's greatest pioneers of science, medicine, exploration, and technology all had one thing in common: they embraced the unknown, rather than shying away from it.

Embrace the unknown. That's the idea behind a recent clip released to the official BMW USA YouTube channel for the new…

Whether you're a car fanatic like much of our staff here at BMW of San Antonio or not, you've probably heard a lot of buzz lately in regards to autonomous driving. This has been a major hot topic in the automotive world as of late--could a world in which cars drive themselves be safe? Or even possible?

Surely time will tell, but what we do know is that the BMW Group has recently…

It's obvious to anyone who has climbed behind the wheel of a new BMW, that the cabins are setup to be driver-centric. In any type of performance car, drivers have to be able to make split-second adjustments and coordinating the seats and dashboard layout to improve that dynamic is very important. Of course we can never forget about the passengers who are lucky enough to be riding in one of our cars.

The smooth…

It's pretty obvious that while some people are ecstatic about the prospect of buying an electric car, but with so few of them currently on American roads, EV ownership can be tough to navigate. For example when you first buy an electric car, what will you do when you need to charge it and are out of town? Thankfully BMW has thought of all the possible problems a new EV owner could face, and…

Wow when you take a few moments to think back to what the world looked like 20 years ago, it is pretty astounding to see how far we have come. The rate at which technology changes seems to be increasing exponentially and it's a mystery as to where we will be even just ten years from now. For example, exactly 21 years ago Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric were trying to figure out what…

Today's blog post certainly isn't the most-dignified one we have ever published but we are so jealous, that we couldn't help but share. This week BMW released its official launchfilm for the new 2015 1 Series. Go ahead and watch it in all its glory!

If you watched that video and thought those new cars don't look very familiar, you would be right. The BMW 1 Series consists of some very…
