The month of October was Fall Car Care Month. Everyone needs to be prepared to make those little repairs on their car, before they turn into much more costly problems down the line. According to a survey done by Car Care, 89 percent of cars are in need of at least one repair! October and November are the perfect times to make these repairs, before the arrival of harsh winter conditions. Here are five ways to care for your BMW during Fall Car Care Month. 5) Make sure windshield wipers are good to go During the fall and winter months, you will likely need to drive through the rain, snow, and sleet to reach the various holiday parties and family gatherings you will be attending. It will be essential to have working windshield wipers so you can have a clear view of the road and see where you are going. Flemington BMW’s Service and Parts Center can provide a great price on a new set of windshield wipers so you will be safe on the road, even in a storm. 4) Get an oil change We all have so many things going on in our lives, and one thing that many of us often forget about is getting the oil changed in our cars. Every few months your car needs an oil change to keep things running efficiently and smoothly.  If it is due for one this month, you should get it done sooner rather than later. Especially in the difficult weather, you do not want to be worried about your car running low on oil. When you get an oil change in your car, the inspector may also notice other possible problems with your car and take care of them now before they become a bigger issue. If your car has not had an oil change in a while and has exceeded the number of miles suggested before coming back for another oil change, it is likely time to receive one again. 3) Check tires Another important part of your car to have checked is your tires. The more you drive your car, the more stress you put on the tires. Make sure you check to see if you are low on air and that all four tires have tread. If the light is flashing in your car to check your tires, it is the best to take care of the issue immediately. It does not matter if your car is front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive; it is vital to have stable tires that will get through the New Jersey winter with no problems. 2) Replace dim lights As baseball legend Yogi Berra once said, “it gets late early out here”. He was not talking about less sunlight during the day in the fall and winter, but the phrase still applies. You are going to need bright lights that will guide you through the fog, darkness and blizzards that many of us run into this time every year. Not only it is the law, but having working lights also keeps the road safe for drivers who brave the rough conditions that will be faced by all. It is vital that everyone has working head and taillights. 1) Bring your BMW to Flemington If you are having problems with any part of your BMW, make an appointment with Flemington BMW today to get your parts fixed today. Your car can take a beating during the fall and winter months because of the tough weather. Now is the time to bring your car in and get it inspected so you can have the peace of mind that your vehicle is prepared for the holiday season. The Service Center will take a thorough look at your car. If anything needs to be repaired, you can browse through the vast selection of high quality parts at BMW Flemington. We look forward to seeing you in Flemington for the best car care in NJ!

The BMW i ChargeForward Project was the recipient of the 2015 ESNA Innovation Award for its Unique EV Battery Second Life Energy Storage System. “The goal of the BMW i ChargeForward project is to show how electric vehicles with smart charging capability and stationary 2nd life applications of EV batteries can provide valuable flexibility that would make it possible for utilities to maximize the effectiveness of the existing electricity grid, which we expect to ultimately lower total cost of EV ownership for consumers,” said Dr. Simon Ellgas Senior Advanced Technology Engineer - Sustainable Mobility, BMW Group Technology Office USA. “It shows the potential of collaboration between partners like PG&E, Geli, Princeton Power Systems and EV Grid but most especially our enthusiastic BMW i3 electric vehicle drivers." Innovation and sustainability are very important to BMW and the i ChargeForward Project shows how the intelligent management of charge electric vehicles can contribute positively to the electric power grid and reduce the total cost of ownership of electric vehicles.
