So, the battery in your vehicle has gone dead and you’re left stranded. Well, before you start making a thousand calls trying to figure out what you should do, take a minute to relax! There are certainly worse and more expensive things that could have happened to your vehicle. Luckily, jump-starting an old, dead battery is an easy task to accomplish and this week we are going to tell you how you can do that so if you ever find yourself in this situation you know what to do. So, buckle up and let’s get started!

Grab your jumper cables.

Whether you are a new driver or experienced, it’s a good idea to own a set of jumper cables and keep them in your vehicle. If you don’t have cables, call a friend who does have a set or look for a good Samaritan who is able to help you.

Both vehicles should be in park or neutral with the engine turned off.

Next, you want both of the vehicles to be in either park or neutral, engines turned off, and parking brakes engaged in both of the vehicles.  

Attach one of the red clips to the positive terminal of your battery.

Attach the other red clip to the positive terminal on the other vehicle.

Attach one of the black clips to the negative terminal on the battery of the other vehicle.

The last black clip should be attached to an unpainted metal surface on your vehicle that is a safe distance away from your battery.

A metal strut that holds the bonnet open is perfect for this.

Start your vehicle and let it charge.

If your vehicle starts right up, let it run for a few minutes and then disconnect your cables. If your vehicle does not start, make sure that all cables are connected to the proper terminals and have the person helping you, run their engine for about five minutes. Once more, try starting your vehicle. If your vehicle still will not start, your battery might be beyond help and you’ll need to replace immediately. If it does start, wait a few minutes and then disconnect the cables and be on your way!

The future of driving is autonomous. While we’re not there 100% just yet, autonomous driving is most definitely on the radar for BMW engineers. These new innovative technologies present new enormous challenges but to the BMW group, the safety of customers always remain a top priority. While BMW offers a variety of driver assistance systems already, the world of autonomous driving is quickly taking over and this week we want to share some information about autonomous driving and what it could mean for future BMW drivers.

One of the most frequently asked questions about autonomous driving is how the vehicle sees and detects potential road hazards. The answer to that is sensors and a lot of them. Highly and fully-automated driving is impossible without sensors. A vehicle will use sensors to monitor all relevant aspects of the surrounding environment on each road you travel. Different types of sensors are needed to monitor conditions both day and night, as well as, any weather conditions that might be thrown your way. That means your vehicle has eyes on the front, back, and all surrounding sides!

Many drivers wonder about collisions when you eliminate a driver altogether. While an overwhelming majority of accidents are caused due to human error, more than 30% of motor vehicle accidents have been prevented with the vehicle assistance system features that have already been built into current models. So, we’re hoping that the safety of driving will only increase when more driving assistance features are introduced to new models.

What will the impact look like? Researchers believe that the impact of driverless technology will be monumental. About $7 trillion will be added to the global economy and can save hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few decades. While this technology is going to benefit many, some will be left behind in the dust.

Now, before we get all excited, the automotive industry categorizes vehicle development into five levels. While five-levels doesn’t seem like a lot, there are still a few years of tests, innovations, and designs to go before series-production vehicles are capable of autonomous driving. So, sit tight and don’t rush good things!

Making the choice to purchase a luxury vehicle is a big decision to make. Whether you are planning on purchasing a new or used BMW – it is still a luxury vehicle and there are a few things that you should know. More specifically, when you are choosing a used BMW. Don’t freak out, we have the top 5 things you should know and do to enhance your car buying experience before stopping in to see us. Go over those five points below and stop in to see us for a test drive or browse our online inventory for a quick look at what we have on our lot!

1. Do your research. Whether you are planning to purchase a brand new vehicle or a used one like we talked about, doing a little bit of research beforehand can save you time, money, and a headache. Check out if the vehicle you are looking at has any previous damage, has it been repaired, and has it been regularly serviced with professionals. These few things can ensure that your used BMW has been taken care of.
2. Choose Certified Pre-Owned. You want to get the best bang for your buck, right? That’s why you should choose a Certified Pre-Owned BMW model over any other choice out there. This means you’ll be getting a vehicle that has been well maintained, gently used, and is covered under warranty.
3. Shop your insurance. If you already own or have owned a BMW, you know that you’ll need insurance. But not just any type of insurance, you’ll need premium insurance. This type of upgraded service provides you with top-tier insurance designed and focused on providing the best coverage for luxury vehicles.
4. Take that test drive. You should NEVER purchase a vehicle without taking it for a spin first. You want to see how the vehicle runs, drives, and performs with you behind the wheel. Although it might cost you a little bit of your own time, it’s the best idea to take a test drive before signing on the dotted line.
5. Got inspection? While purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned BMW can be an exciting time, you still want to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic to ensure that problems won’t arise in the future. While this might cost you a few bucks, it is most definitely worth it in the end.
