Snow, snow, and some more snow! While you’re still digging out at home, we’re starting to dig out at the dealership. But we still want to help you conquer the snow once you’re finally dug out. On this week’s blog, you will find a few snow driving tips that will aid you this winter. We encourage you to refresh and learn these tips if they’re new to you and hurry on over to our service scheduler to schedule your next service appointment to ensure that your BMW is ready for the last few weeks of winter! Let’s get started on those driving tips first though! 

Drive Smooth 

• Be deliberate, gentle, and gradual. It’s important to drive smoothly and make no jerky movements that can cause an accident slip on the road. A good life hack is to pretend you’re driving with a hot cup of coffee in your lap and you don’t want to spill it. 

Look Ahead & Look Here

• When roads get more slippery, you should be looking farther down the road and anticipate what to do next. If there are turns, slow way down. When roads are wet, allow double the stopping distance and triple with snow, and even more with ice. Use extra caution and concentration. If you feel your vehicle beginning to slide, always look where you want your vehicle to go, not where it’s heading at the current moment. 

Deal With Skids 

• When skids happen, it’s important not to panic, stay calm, and don’t stab on the brakes. For a front-wheel skid, ease off the gas, in a moment or two, the wheels should regain traction. Then aim where you want to go as your traction returns. For rear skids, quickly turn the steering wheel in the same direction the rear is sliding. Ease off the gas and brakes. Steer back in the original direction when you regain traction. 

Constantly Assess Traction 

• During a snowy/ icy drive, it’s important to continuously assess your traction situation. If your vehicle is equipped with ABS systems, traction-control systems, or stability-control systems, your vehicle is more likely to have a successful trip. But don’t rely strictly on these systems. It’s important to stay vigilant and cautious when on the road. 

Temperatures are dropping here at Flemington BMW, and we want to help you have a successful winter season! Check out our five tips below and be sure to put them to good use this January and February! And if you’re in the market for a brand new BMW, you know where to find your favorite BMW team. Browse our online inventory and hurry on in to take advantage of great incentives happening only right here at Flemington BMW! We hope to see you soon! 

Emergency Kit: 

• It’s always a good idea to be prepared in the event of an emergency, especially in the winter months. We encourage you to keep an extra coat, warm hat, gloves, and extra socks in your vehicle. It’s a good idea to keep a blanket, phone charger, flashlight, bottle of water, and a small non perishable snack. 

Stop Foggy Windows: 

• Foggy windows are no stranger in the winter season. And they can lead to potentially dangerous situations. Roll down your windows to quickly defog those windows or keep a clean chalkboard eraser in your vehicle to wipe away the fog. 

Keep Yourself From Getting Stuck: 

• If your vehicle is a little on the lighter side, we encourage you to place a few bags of kitty litter in the back of your vehicle or trunk. This will aid in traction in the rear of your vehicle. And also keep a small shovel in the event you get stuck. 

Keep The Underside Of Your Vehicle Clean: 

• It’s important to keep your vehicle clean all year long, but it’s especially important to keep the underside of your vehicle clean during the winter. Dirt, salt, and ice can accumulate underneath and cause erosion. Get a car wash on a warmer day and park your vehicle in the garage. 

Avoid Frozen Wiper Blades: 

• Whether it’s a little snow or ice, no one likes frozen over wiper blades. We recommend leaving your wiper blades propped up when your vehicle is in park or place a pair of socks over the blades to keep them from freezing.

Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe that it’s already a few days into 2021! This week we are bringing you a few new year’s resolutions that we hope you’ll put to good use this year. We know it’s been a tough year for some and we want to help make it easier for you! So, check out these resolutions and if you’re ready to upgrade to a brand new BMW, stop by for a test drive. Or if you’re in need of maintenance, be sure to schedule your appointment with our team online today and we will get your BMW ready for all of your upcoming 2021 adventures! 

Don’t Neglect Car Maintenance

• We know each year you say this, ‘I won’t slack on car maintenance.’ And you might fall short on that. But we want to help you keep your vehicle happy and healthy all year long. It’s important to stay up to date on your oil changes, tire care, brake pads, and air filters. 

Learn Basic Maintenance Yourself 

• If you’re concerned about the cost of maintenance, learn how to treat your car to some basic services yourself. There are a lot of tutorials on how to complete basic maintenance. Or simply stop in or schedule an appointment with our team to further assistance. 

Stop Driving Distracted 

• Did you know on average about NINE people are killed by distracted driving each day. Which makes this a pretty good resolution to make happen. Stop reaching for something, changing your music, checking your phone, taking photos, checking emails/ social media, eating, and yes, putting on makeup or grooming yourself. Just leave this all in the past! 

Keep Your Vehicle Clean 

• While for some this may be easy, for others keeping our vehicle clean might be a difficult task to stay on top of. But we encourage you to hold yourself accountable and take any trash with you when you exit your vehicle!

‘Tis the season to celebrate with friends and family. But this year you might be celebrating a little differently, and we want to help make sure that you and your family stay safe and healthy. We encourage you to check out those helpful tips below from the CDC and we encourage you to discuss them with your family before visiting this holiday. And of course, if you’re ready to upgrade into a brand new BMW before Christmas, hurry on down to see our team right here at Flemington BMW! We look forward to getting you behind the wheel – see you soon! 

Attending a Winter Holiday Celebration

• Bring your own food, drinks, plates, cups, utensils, and condiment packets.
