2015 BMW M3 – Greensboro, NC

Overview: The M3 is a legend in the world of performance cars, giving enthusiasts everywhere reason to speak in gushing superlatives whenever given the chance. It’s even better now that the M3 has had a heart transplant in the guise of a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six that makes 425 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque; it replaces the previous model’s 414-hp 4.0-liter V-8. To help you avoid confusion, the M3 badge is now applied only to sedan models; coupe and convertible models now wear the new M4 designation.

2014_bmw_4-series_coupe_435i

Overview: Replacing the much-loved BMW 3-series coupe (the 3-series designation applies now only to the sedan), the 4-series has some big wheels to fill.

2014-bmw-435i-coupe-interior

We are happy to report that it is up to the task. In fact, it’s so good, it made our 10 Best list for 2014. The 4 is livelier than its predecessor, thanks to improved steering, a more responsive suspension, and a lower center of gravity. Fewer doors with more sportiness? We’ll take that trade-off anytime.

2014 BMW 320i Sedan near Greensboro, NC

Overview: The gold standard of sports sedans, the BMW 3-series has appeared on our 10 Best list 23 years in a row, including for 2014.

2014bmw320i

Now in its sixth generation, it is renowned for an unmatched combination of smooth powertrains, brilliant handling, and comfortable yet driver-focused interiors. However, the new F30’s base turbo four, abrupt stop-start, and electric power steering are causing some discord among the loyalists.

Pros:
Almost always silky engine, balanced chassis, no-nonsense interior layout.

Cons:
Stop-start rumble highlights the turbo four’s balance issues and is even more noticeable with the auto, steering could use some tactility, costs nearly 50 grand.

VEHICLE TYPE: front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 4-door sedan

PRICE AS TESTED: $48,195 (base price: $35,795)

Don’t Spend Too much For BMW Repair and Genuine BMW Service

Save yourself a pot of gold by taking your BMW to a local independent BMW repair shop.

pot_of_gold
Save yourself a pot of gold by taking your BMW to a local independent BMW repair shop.

It can be a wee bit frustrating when your BMW is in need of servicing and you aren’t sure where to take it for quality repairs that won’t cost you a pot of gold.

Taking your BMW to a local independent BMW mechanic, versus the dealer, might just be your lucky charm because it can save you money and enable you to build a relationship with a trained technician working on your vehicle.

Save Some Green

By taking your BMW to an independent repair shop, you won’t have to worry about getting lucky on pricing because costs are generally lower than what the dealer charges.

No, not because of magic or that 4-leaf clover you picked out back, but because OEM parts are not marked up as much and because indy shops have lower hourly rates since overhead is significantly less.

Authentic Service – No Foolishness Here

Independent BMW service Greensboro, NC centers tend to offer a more genuine, personalized service than that of the dealer.

You are likely to be in direct communication with your BMW mechanic each time you come into their shop. This allows you to form a solid relationship with them, instead of talking to a different service advisor each visit about the repair recommendations a different mechanic suggested while working on your BMW.

Finding the right BMW mechanic can be a blessing when your BMW needs servicing. Don’t become bogged down at the dealer and fall victim to the blarney and shenanigans they can play when it comes to cost and personalized service.

So grab a pint, dance the jig and spread some cheer—save yourself that pot of gold by taking your BMW to a local independent BMW repair shop.

Search for a local, independent BMW repair shop with BMW mechanics that have dealer-level expertise at a fraction of the cost.

Watch Out For That Male, Blue BMW Driver

Worst culprits: Male BMW drivers are the most angry drivers, who often succumb to road rage

According to this study, the most aggressive drivers are men, ages 35-50, who drive blue BMWs. The study also found that the most aggressive times on the roads are at 5:45pm on Fridays and the Monday morning commute. Imagine that!

In the study of 2,837 motorists, Land Rovers, Audis, Subarus and Vauxhalls were also on the “most aggressive” list, and the colors of black, silver, green and red followed the angry blue.

Drivers most often expressed road rage by shouting and swearing, followed by erratic driving and obscene gestures. Motorists were asked the pick the make and colour of car from which they have experienced the most incidents of road rage – and blue BMWs came out on top.

George Charles of VoucherCodesPro said: ‘During peak periods of traffic, whether it be the Monday morning school run or the hectic rush hour on a Friday evening, it is all too easy to allow the common manifestations of road rage to get the better of us as motorists.

‘This research, although slightly humorous in some of its findings, does indicate an important point.

‘Road rage is not something to be taken lightly and these results show that many motorists need to remind themselves that sometimes losing your temper whilst driving can result in serious altercations, assaults, and collisions that cause injuries or worse.’

The all-new 2015 BMW X6

all-new-2015-bmw-x6-005
Bimmerfest introduces the all-new 2015 BMW X6. With this new X6 BMW celebrates the second generation of the world’s first-ever Sports Activity Coupe. When the automaker took the bold step of combining the performance of a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle with the emotional design character of a traditional coupe, BMW created a vehicle concept that the market had not yet even conceived of. With global sales of 250,000 X6s to date, it is clearly a concept that the marketplace has embraced. In additional to an updated and even more extroverted design, the new X6 introduces the first rear-wheel drive model in the line-up with the X6 sDrive35i, powered by BMW’s award-winning 300 horsepower TwinPower Turbo inline six. It joins models with xDrive, BMW’s intelligent all-wheel drive system – the BMW X6 xDrive35i and the X6 xDrive50i featuring BMW’s updated 445 horsepower TwinPower Turbo 4.4-liter V8. All models are equipped with BMW’s 8-speed Steptronic sport automatic transmission. The new 2015 BMW X6 will again be produced exclusively at the company’s production facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina and will arrive in US showrooms in late 2014. Pricing will be announced closer to launch.

BMW Thermostat Housing Repair & Service | Greensboro, NC

 

Thermostat_L_23_11_2010

The cooling system of your Bmw heavily relies on the thermostat so as to work properly. A functional Bmw thermostat is very important in making sure the engine has enough anti-freeze to avoid overheating.

Just like other components, Bmw thermostats will eventually break down. A possible sign that you must replace your Bmw ‘s ”thermometer” is if it gets stuck in open or close position, triggering an engine temperature warning light to malfunction; whatever happens, the car’s cooling system is surely to suffer and cause more serious engine issues. Rusty patches are definitely typical troubles especially if water trickles into the thermostat’s steel parts. You’ll have to buy a new component if it’s worn out.

Web

Eurobahns Recommendations
The entire cooling system should be inspected and tested when the thermostat is replaced.
A high-quality OEM thermostat should be used. Poor quality thermostats may not function properly and can cause damage to the engine or components of the emission system.

Why this happens
A thermostat that is stuck closed will cause the vehicle to overheat.
A thermostat that is stuck open can cause the engine to run colder than normal, set the check engine light, poor fuel mileage and a heater that blows cool air.
If the new thermostat does not immediately resolve engine temperature problems, the cooling system needs to be checked for other issues.

At Eurobahn Motorsports we are here to assist you find an Original Equipment thermostat for your Bmw and actually make the repair experience easy and hassle-free. We are your top source of high-caliber items at affordable prices. We have various perks for our buyers, making us a well-known BMW Repair shop in Greensboro, NC among those who prefer to enjoy the most out of their allotted budgets.
