BMW Proud to Announce 2012 Olympic Fleet

This summer, London will host the 29th Olympic Games of the modern era.  To celebrate the tradition, BMW will contribute a fleet of vehicles to be utilized at these games.

Olympic logo

Firstly, BMW is contributing 1,550 BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics models, which will act as the main command car for the Olympic Torch Relay, as well as playing various roles for cycling events and race doctors.  These nimble diesels post an impressive 68.9 Highway MPG.

Joining the 320d will be the X3 xDrive 20d and the X5 xDrive 30d.  The former will be used primarily as transportation for the boats used in aquatic events, but will also play a supporting role in the Torch Relay.  The latter will be utilized for equestrian events, towing horse ambulances, and providing immediate support on the course.

Shuttles for Olympic athletes and broadcasters will be handled mainly by the all-electric BMW 1 Series ActiveE (EV).  Operating with no tailpipe emissions, the ActiveE will not only provide environmentally friendly transportation for athletes, but will also highlight the 120 new “high speed charge points” that have been installed in key areas around London.

So keep your eyes peeled for BMW’s full fleet of vehicles at the 29th Olympic Games in London!

Keep Your Car Running Like New With Regular Maintenance

While automotive maintenance is only necessary a couple of times a year, it is still necessary. Don’t feed into the belief that “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” There are plenty of preventive measures that can be taken to ensure that major automotive problems don’t pop up in the future. Keeping up with scheduled maintenance is the difference between having the same car for ten years and prematurely sending it off to the junk yard.

Here is a checklist of a regular maintenance schedule. Follow it to ensure that your car continues to run in tip-top shape:

Every 3 Months or 5,000 Miles

  • Check and inspect the coolant level, coolant mixture, lug bolts, oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid
  • Refill washer fluid
  • Get an oil change every 5,000 miles, no matter the time frame

Every 6 Months or 8,000-10,000 Miles

  • Check tire depth, spark plug wires, and brake systems
  • Perform battery cleaning
  • Replace windshield wipers

Every Year or 12,000-15,000 Miles

  • Fuel pressure regulation and timing belt inspection
  • Radiator flush
  • Replace spark plugs, brake pads, and fuel filter
  • ABS sensor maintenance

Following these simple guidelines will save you a boat load of time and money in the future. A car is an investment; make sure that you continue to invest in it, year after year.
