HATS OFF TO WINSTON LONG! 02/10/2011

 

Mrs. Smith was very pleased with her service visit here.  She said Winston was great!  Mrs. Smith said that she was traveling from Ft. Lauderdale back to her home in Maryland when her vehicle began to give her some trouble.  She said she had her son with her and it was not going good, she was almost in tears.  Being far away from home she felt totally lost-but once she was in our care she was just fine.  She said she was directed here and we took good care of her and that everyone was kind and very helpful.  She said she was even given a rental from Enterprise.  Mrs. Smith said she has told people in Maryland about our service to her here at Capitol BMW of Florence.  She said we were wonderful and she will never forget it.  Mrs. Smith said because of her experience here she will always buy BMW!   

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK WINSTON!!

BMW 5 Series Receives Five Stars in
New More Stringent Crash Test

The all-new BMW 5 Series was one of only two vehicles to receive an overall five-star rating in the first crash tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under the new, more stringent New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).

New criteria for the NCAP rating system include: more stringent side-impact tests, use of crash-test dummies of varying size (now also simulating a small adult female as well as a medium-size adult male), collection of more data, introduction of a single overall rating score and the highlighting of high-tech crash avoidance systems like electronic stability control, lane departure warning and forward collision warning.

The all-new 2011 BMW 5 Series is available with Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Detection, and Active Cruise Control with a Stop & Go feature. It is also available with Night Vision with Pedestrian Detection, a BMW first.

Every 2011 BMW 5 Series is equipped with BMW Assist which includes an enhanced Automatic Collision Notification system. This system, developed jointly with the William Lehman Trauma Center, not only contacts the emergency call center automatically in the event of a collision, but will also transmit data that will alert emergency responders to the probability of severe injury in order to help them better prepare.

Another important safety feature for drivers in colder climates is the availability of BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive, which is now available for the 535i and 550i Sedans as well as the 535i and 550i Gran Turismo.
