The only greater thing than owning a BMW is being able to road trip behind the wheel of one! And this spring, we hope you’re spending plenty of time with the family or solo behind the wheel exploring the open road. If you have yet to head out or you have, we want to share a few tips that will help you conquer those trips with ease and confidence! We hope you’ll put our guide to good use and schedule a service appointment with our team to give you peace of mind that your BMW won’t have any issues along the way! 
Clean your ride before & during the trip 

• From top to bottom, give your vehicle a little TLC cleaning. Give it a wash, vacuum, and be sure to throw out any unnecessary items, wrappers, receipts, etc. You’ll regret not cleaning out your vehicle before hitting the road, trust us. 

Check in on your vehicle 

• Before leaving for your trip, we encourage you to have our service team look over your vehicle to ensure things are in proper working order. From your fluid levels, brakes, tires, and anything else that can cause an issue, it’s important to make sure you’re ready to handle any situation. 

Have a backup plan 

• It’s always important when road tripping to have a backup plan, whether it’s additional options to stop and grab gas, to stay or eat, or additional routes to take, it’s important to be able to change your plans on-the-fly if issues arise along the way. 

Preload entertainment options 

• While the radio is a great entertainment option, crossing state lines and towns might cause issues with select stations. We encourage you to preload music, podcast, and additional entertainment options that might keep you engaged during the drive. We also recommend bringing a phone charger to keep your phone charged at all times. 

Join a roadside assist service 

• While we hope you won’t be needing this, having roadside assistance is a great way to stay safe if things go south during your trip. Having access to these services will save you a lot of trouble and we recommend it greatly!

Get ready, get set, hit the road this spring! If you’ve been struggling with getting the most out of your vehicle’s fuel mileage, we’re here to help you with that this April. Below, you will find 12 fuel saving tips that will help you steer clear of the pump and more time behind the wheel on the open road.

12 Fuel Saving Tips: 

• Keep your tires at proper PSI levels, ensure your tires are not worn, ad properly aligned
• Remove excess weight from your vehicle to reduce drag
• Slow down, moderate your driving to save on fuel 
• Don’t let your vehicle idle for more than one minute 
• Park in the shade, especially in the summer, to reduce gas evaporation
• Use cruise control when possible and maintain constant speeds 
• Avoid stowing heavy cargo on your vehicle’s roof, this increases drag 
• Ease onto your brakes, extreme braking causes you to use more gas 
• Don’t use premium gas unless your vehicle requires it 
• Replace old spark plugs, old/ dirty filters, and replace your vehicle’s oxygen sensor
• Combine several short trips into one long one 
• Upgrade into a new vehicle with gas mileage if 40+ MPG

Welcome back to another week of helpful BMW information! This week we are discussing all things spring service! Spring will officially be here at the end of the week and that probably means that you’re thinking about taking a road trip or an adventure behind the wheel of your beloved BMW. Before you hit the road, we encourage you to hurry in and have your vehicle serviced. The winter season is known for doing damage to your vehicle and it’s important to get the green light from our service team before hitting the road! Let’s get started on those springtime service tips! 
Wash Your Ride 

• As temperatures are warming up, it’s important to visit the car wash and treat your vehicle to a little TLC. Make sure to wash the undercarriage of your vehicle to get rid of any winter buildup and debris. It’s also a great idea to have the interior of your vehicle detailed to ensure a fresh, clean start to spring. 

Check Your Battery 

• Wintertime is known for making batteries weak and it’s important to have your battery tested to ensure its health. Also, if your battery is older than four years old, it’s a good rule of thumb to invest in a new one.

Fill Up The Fluids 

• During the winter, your vehicle’s fluids tend to drain easily and quickly. And with spring around the corner, you should be stopping in to have your fluids topped off and be sure you have plenty of windshield washer fluid too. 

Inspect & Align Your Tires 

• Winter driving can be brutal on your tires and it’s important to ensure that there are no leaks, bulges, and lack of tread on your tires. Stop in and allow our team to inspect your tires, fill up to proper PSI levels, rotate and align them. 

Get Under The Hood 

• While we’re at it, pop open the hood (when cold) and give everything underneath a good look over. Inspect hoses, belts, caps, air filters, and make sure they are not cracked or damaged. If they are, be sure to schedule an appointment and have them replaced as soon as possible. Also, make sure your air filters are replaced so your air conditioning is ready when warm weather is officially here.

Your guide to having an easy car buying experience is waiting for you right here on this week’s blog. Whether you were hoping to upgrade into a brand new BMW this month or were just thinking about it – we have tips that will help make your next purchase easier than ever before. Check out all of those details below, choose your next BMW in our inventory, and stop in to see our team right here at Flemington BMW! 
Get Pre-Approved: getting a pre-approved auto loan before stopping in to see our team will speed up the buying process and keep you from waiting long periods of time while we’re dealing with the bank. Also, we recommend getting pre-approved before even starting your vehicle search, so you will have a better idea of your budget and what types of models you can afford. 
Know The Value of Your Trade: planning to trade in your old vehicle? Do a little research before stopping in. Not only is this beneficial for you, knowing your vehicle’s trade value can help you negotiate the deal and in some situations, can get you a lower payment. There are many tools available to you to use for research and find your vehicle’s trade value. A trade appraisal will also work as a starting point when it comes time to discuss your trade. 
Personal Identification: the paperwork process can be a pain in the butt and we recommend bringing in the right items on the first purchase visit in order to ensure a quick, pain-free process. Be sure to bring in your driver’s license, proof of insurance, current registration, and the title to your trade (if you are trading in a vehicle.) These are all necessary in order to get you out the door with your new car and if you end up forgetting any, the process can be held up. 
Review Your Deal: before you sign on the dotted line, you need to know what you are paying for, how much, and for how long. If you are going to be shelling out cash, you should know exactly what you are paying for. Don’t be afraid to ask questions before signing on the line and if you don’t understand something – it is your salesman’s job to explain all of those nitty-gritty details. Don’t be afraid to ask! 
Take a Test Drive: we sure hope no one would ever purchase a vehicle without taking a test drive but if that’s the case, let us recommend taking one! A test drive is the most important thing to do before buying. This is a big investment and if you are not 100 percent happy, it’ll be a waste of time and money on your end! Even if you have to test drive the vehicle a few times and ask a million questions, it is better that you get everything you want than just agreeing to something you think you will like.
