BMW’s all-new 2010 BMW Gran Turismo

Monday, September 14th, 2009

The best kind of Gran standing!

BMW’s all-new 2010 BMW Gran Turismo

South BMW proudly announces the soon-to-arrive Gran Turismo with its focus on utility, comfort and, of course, performance. BMW blends the benefits of a sedan, wagon and hatchback into one incredible vehicle. The upcoming 5-Series Gran Turismo is built upon the concept of the 5-Series, though traces of their flagship 7-Series is inherent throughout the design.

With a strong emphasis on comfort and luxury, one cannot think of a better vehicle to take on a long journey. All seats are adjustable, and every position offers copious amounts of head space and legroom. The overall design is distinctly BMW from the tasteful-but-still-aggressive front to the rear lines accentuating the 2010 BMW Gran Turismo’s clever dual-opening trunk. For cargo, the back seats can fold down to accommodate 60 cf of storage for your largest gear.

Watch the video above to get a full summary of this feature-laden, high performance, beautifully styled, versatile SAV which will arrive very early in 2010. BMW hopes to add some charm to the class of “wagon” with this offering, and we at South BMW believe it may just deliver a hearty dose of utility back into the world of performance and luxury automobiles.

Buy or Lease a BMW?

Monday, September 14th, 2009

We tackle the Ultimate question…

Considering a lease or purchase is probably one of the most common questions considered when shopping for transportation. What’s the correct answer? It depends. What the best route might be depends on the specifics and the individual, and it is simply not possible to say one is better than the other in all cases.

Let’s distinguish the two. With a “purchase”, you are financing the purchase of the vehicle. At the end of your term, the car is yours. With a “lease”, you are financing the use of the vehicle, and only pay for the value of the vehicle you use during the lease. You are paying for the ability to drive the car for a certain amount of time, and then returning it, hassle-free.

There are a lot of details, including your personal priorities, to consider when determining which plan is right for you. Is having a new vehicle every 2 or 3 years important to you? Are lower monthly payments more important than long-term costs? If so, a lease might be better for you. Is it important to pay off your vehicle and be debt-free at some point? Than a purchase might be your answer.

Generally, with most other brands, maintenance would be another factor to consider, but BMW’s generous Ultimate Service program, their extensive maintenance plan, takes maintenance out of the equation. For a lengthy 4 years and 50,000 miles, you’ll be worry-free on the maintenance front.

Regardless of your decision, South BMW and BMW Financial Services have a host of flexible financing to help you drive it home. With extensive options for loan customization, low or no down payments (subject to credit approval), low competitive rates and terms of up to 60 months, they have a plan designed to meet the needs of every BMW driver that walks through their door. If you would like a professional to help determine your best option, visit or call South BMW, and let our knowledgeable sales and financing team help you make the right choice.

This versatile CUV makes its way soon to South Florida

MIAMI, FL: South Honda is proud to announce the all-new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour will be arriving in the coming months. The sporty Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV), evolves the utility class by integrating a rakish, aerodynamic shape and sporty low profile with all of the versatility of a CUV.

With its roots tracing directly back to the much-loved Honda Accord Sedan, the Accord Crosstour maintains the fun and refinement of one of America’s most popular sedans and yet broadens its capabilities with a CUV’s ride height and all-weather performance. The bold character lines and sleek stance create an aggressive look, while be able to adapt to cargo and passenger space that would exceed the capacity of a typical sedan.
