Great BMW Vehicles

Although there are quite a few different luxury brands in the auto industry, there is no other vehicle quite like a BMW. Few other cars can match the incredible combination of both luxury and performance that a BMW has to offer. Pristine and cutting-edge German engineering is at the heart of every BMW, delivering power and precision on the road that you truly have to feel and experience for yourself to fully appreciate. Best of all, you have a lot of options available to you and the freedom to get a car or SUV from BMW that delivers exactly the right level of performance for what you need.

In terms of luxury and sophistication, BMW leaves its competitors far behind, with richly detailed interior designs that simply surround you in comfort and style. From gorgeous materials, including the highest-quality leather and wood, to bold technology that makes driving fun and simple, BMW understands what drivers want. That includes large infotainment displays, customizable driver displays, and incredible sound systems that elevate your driving experience to the next level. Whatever you prioritize in a vehicle, whether it is speed and power, luxury and refinement, or comfort and safety, BMW is an industry leader.

The BMW 2 Series

If you have never driven a BMW before, but you are curious to try out their legendary performance and luxury, then the BMW 2 Series is a great place to start. This is essentially the starting model in their lineup of luxury cars, so it is the perfect choice if you are looking for an agile and sophisticated two-door model. Do not let the phrase "starting model" fool you, as this is still a BMW and offers performance that puts other cars to shame.

The 2022 model is the start of a new generation for the 2 Series, which features rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and a standard 255 hp turbocharged engine that is incredibly fun to drive. There is also a more powerful model available with a 382 hp I-6 engine if you want even more exhilarating performance. The interior is everything you would expect from BMW, with luxurious materials and a sleek design that includes an available 12-inch fully digital instrument cluster and multi-zone climate control.

The BMW 4 Series

For a sportier experience in your BMW, consider the 4 Series, which is a two-door model with a bold and stylish front grille. The 2022 model might not have much in the way of major changes from last year, but this remains a standout offering in the BMW lineup. It is available as either a standard coupe or a convertible, so you can get just the sort of driving experience you want.

Two different engines are available for the 4 Series: the 430i features a turbocharged 2.0L engine that delivers 255 hp, while the M440i has a turbocharged I-6 that provides 382 hp and features a mild-hybrid system for boosted performance. The sport-tuned suspension and aggressive stance ensure the BMW 4 Series is incredibly fun to drive, while the interior is every bit as luxurious as you would hope. An available 10.25-inch infotainment display looks stunning, and there is a 12-inch digital driver display too.

The BMW i4

If you are looking for something truly new and innovative to lease, then consider the all-new BMW i4, which is the latest all-electric sedan from BMW. Based on the powerful and stylish 4 Series Gran Coupe, the BMW i4 is a powerful and sophisticated electric vehicle (EV) that already has a ton of hype. EVs might well be the future of the auto industry, and there is no denying that BMW models are among the most luxurious and stunning on the market.

Two different i4 models are available: the eDrive40, which features a rear motor that makes 335 hp and can go from 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds, and an M50 model with front and rear motors that deliver 536 hp and can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.9 seconds. The single-motor model has a range of around 300 miles on a full charge, while the dual-motor option can go about 240 miles on a full battery. You expect a gorgeous interior from BMW, but the i4 takes things to a new level, with a stunning design that is dominated by a large curved dashboard that includes a 12-inch driver display and 14.9-inch infotainment screen.

The BMW X1

While BMW sedans are certainly legendary options, they also make some of the finest Sports Activity Vehicles (SAVs) on the road, starting with the X1. BMW might be best known for performance and luxury, but the X1 combines those with surprising practicality thanks to its compact design and very functional interior. It is still just as gorgeous and powerful as you would expect, but you can also get a lot of use from the X1 as it fits perfectly into your daily life.

The 2021 BMW X1 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L engine that delivers 228 hp and comes paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It comes with front-wheel drive standard, with all-wheel drive available, and it is incredibly fun to drive. You will find a wide array of gorgeous details and stunning luxury throughout the interior of the X1, with plenty of space for your passengers and any cargo you need to load up. A 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system is available, and high-end materials create a sophisticated and comfortable interior.

The BMW X4

If you want a BMW SAV with more of a playful design and impressive power, then take a look at the X4, which you can think of as the larger companion to the 4 Series coupe. There have been a number of exterior updates for the 2022 model year, including improvements to the lighting and small changes to the grille and bumpers. Two different X4 models are available, and if you are looking for the most exhilarating experience, then consider the updated M40i.

The standard model features a 2.0L turbocharged engine that provides 245 hp, with all-wheel drive for a great driving experience in any conditions. If you choose the M40i, however, then you get a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine that now features a small electric motor for enhanced performance, giving you 382 hp and the ability to go from 0 to 60 in just 4.2 seconds. Inside the X4, you get plenty of space for passengers and everything else you need to bring with you, along with sophisticated touches that include luxury materials and a floating touchscreen display. The 12-inch driver and infotainment screens look fantastic and provide you with all of the information you need while on the road.

The BMW iX

Although BMW has offered EV sedans in the past, with the i4 being the latest model, they now also have an all-electric SAV that is ready to dominate the road. The all-new BMW iX really gives us our first glimpse at what an all-electric future for BMW could look like, and it is a great start. While we do not have all of the details and specs on the iX just yet, what we know so far is already excellent.

The standard xDrive50 model of the iX features a pair of motors that deliver 516 hp and create standard all-wheel drive. This model can go from 0 to 60 in just 4.6 seconds, has a top speed of 124 mph, and a range of about 300 miles from a full charge. BMW has announced there will also be a more powerful M60 model available, with more than 600 hp from its motors, but additional details on that have not yet been released. You get a large, curved front display in the iX, much like the i4, with a 14.9-inch infotainment display and 12-inch digital gauge cluster - not to mention an available 30-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system to take things to the next level.

Is a BMW Lease Right for You?

When looking at different BMW lease deals, it is important to consider whether a lease is even the right option for you. Leasing has been around for essentially as long as the auto industry itself, but it really only became popular in the last 40 years or so. It is important to remember that leasing a vehicle is not the right choice for everyone, but for those drivers that it works well for, there is really nothing better.

Leasing a vehicle is essentially a long-term rental of that vehicle. You are paying to drive it for a set period of time - usually two or three years - and then you return it. During that time, the vehicle will depreciate in value simply because it is no longer brand-new and due to the wear and tear you will place on it through daily use. The price you pay for leasing a vehicle is basically the depreciation that the dealership estimates your use of the vehicle during its lease will cause. So while you are paying for a vehicle that you will not own, you are also paying a lot less to drive it since you are only paying for its depreciation and not its full value.

This is essentially the greatest strength and weakness of choosing a lease rather than buying your next BMW. On the one hand, you will not actually own the vehicle you are paying for, but on the other hand, you are paying less, and once the lease period ends, you are free to move on to another vehicle. BMW lease deals are a great option if you really enjoy the experience of driving a brand-new vehicle, and actually owning a car is not that important to you.

With a lease, you are free to enjoy all of the features of the latest and best BMW vehicles, and in a few years, you can enjoy a brand-new car once again. There are certain restrictions to keep in mind, however, such as a limit on how many miles you can put on the vehicle during its lease. You will also need to follow manufacturer-recommended schedules for maintenance and service, and you are responsible for major wear and tear on the vehicle during the lease.

What Happens at the End of a Lease?

At the end of any BMW lease deal, you can set up a pre-inspection prior to the date you actually have to return the vehicle. This pre-inspection is a good idea and can save you a lot of hassle later. During the pre-inspection, a certified BMW technician will inspect your vehicle thoroughly and provide you with information about its condition.

After the inspection, you can access the results on the My BMW website for your vehicle, which also has information about your lease terms. The results will indicate any estimated charges you can expect when you return the vehicle, as well as offer recommendations for repairs and other information. If there are any major repairs or replacements to be made under the terms of your lease, then this gives you time before you need to turn-in your vehicle in which to make them. Just be sure to visit your BMW dealer or a certified service center to have any of this work done.

Then, at the appointed time, you will need to return your BMW for a final inspection at the end of your lease agreement. If any work needed to be done, and you had it performed prior to this final inspection, then it will be removed from estimated costs. You can purchase additional mileage prior to this final inspection if necessary or pay for mileage overages you might have incurred during your lease.

Finally, you then have the option to either buy the vehicle you have been leasing if you find that you cannot part with it, or choose your next BMW to enjoy. Many of our customers like to go from one lease to the next, getting to fully embrace everything new that BMW has to offer every few years. The choice is up to you, of course, and we can discuss any current BMW lease deals and offers we have when you bring in your vehicle.
