Car ownership is changing. As it does, car companies have two choices: wait for the dust to settle, or get out in front. As it so often does, BMW AG is choosing the latter option and in the process, shaping the car subscription model in its own image. It hasn’t come to BMW of Silver Spring yet, but we’re encouraged by what we see so far.

Earlier this year, we questioned the future prospects of the BMW i3 and BMW i8. The intervening months have brought the long-term electrification plans for BMW AG into sharper focus. If you’re thinking of visiting BMW of Silver Spring in search of an electric car, there are a few things you should know.

At BMW of Silver Spring, we’ve always been proud of the innovative BMW cars we sell, the company that builds them, and the people who back them. A recent initiative by BMW AG is about to make each of those things even better, especially for members of the armed services transitioning back to civilian life. 

A recent Digital Trends interview with Adrian van Hooydonk, head of design for the BMW Group, is a worthwhile read. It lays out some of the future cars coming from BMW AG, and the design language that’s emerging with them. It’s also a preview of coming attractions for what’s on the way to BMW of Silver Spring.

One new BMW model — the 2018 BMW 540d xDrive sedan — arrives soon at BMW dealerships like BMW of Silver Spring, and we can't wait for it. 

It happens every year: the calendar turns over and we swear that this is it. This will be the year that we eat right, work out, lose weight, and finally get it all together. Have you thought about making some automotive-related resolutions for the year ahead? Taking better care of your car is also a good thing to work into your daily routine, and BMW of Silver Spring can help.
