And a host of new technology, a new design, new engine performance, and new components inside and out, of course.

But it's hard not to be immediately distracted by the truly massive dual kidney grilles on the front of the all-new 2020 BMW 7 Series. BMW has apparently taken some cues from its newest BMW X7 SAV (which features the largest grille, period, that they've ever built) and will be applying this new "bigger is better" design motif to other models in the lineup.

Enough about the grille, though.

The next big thing is here.

The all-new, first-ever BMW X7 stepped onto the scene late this fall and is ready to take its place at the head of the table. It will stand as the flagship SAV in BMW's lineup, as the largest and most well-equipped model.

We at East Bay BMW are, of course, excited for the new model to arrive.

The 2019 BMW X7 release date is expected for March or April of 2019--which is at the same time incredibly close and unbearably far away.

We've talked quite a bit about "the Boss"--the all-new 2019 BMW X5--but can you ever really say enough about what might be the most luxurious crossover in California?

We don't think so. And, with advanced new driver comfort features and convenience options in this new BMW SAV, it's worth it to take a closer look at some of the incredible new accessories and features that you can get in this model.

Treat yourself a little.

As though the BMW X3 wasn't a tempting-enough luxury SAV in California, BMW took the recent redesign up another notch, adding a new trim level (BMW X3 sDrive30i) and a new drivetrain option to the mix.

Explore the all-new 2019 BMW X3 sDrive30i, offering standard rear-wheel drive and a 248-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, and starting at just $41,000.

If you're shopping for a premium compact car in Pleasanton, there's a very good chance that your search has brought you to the BMW 3 Series.

Because, while there's certainly plenty of competition on the market, the BMW 3 Series consistently stands out as a top option for luxury sports sedans. Its ideal balance of performance, efficiency, quality, and long equipment list of standard and available features makes it a very tempting option for a wide variety of shoppers.

We've talked in length about the new BMW X Series, and how well it fits into the Bay-Area lifestyle.

But, there will soon be a whole new beast on the scene, growing the BMW SAV and SAC family.

It's the all-new, first-ever 2018 BMW X2 Sports Activity Coupe; the smallest vehicle currently in the lineup, but with a big personality. It boasts an entirely new shape from BMW designers, one that…

Blackhawk and BMW--a perfect match.

Did you know that East Bay BMW is located less than 25 minutes away from Blackhawk, CA? Take Camino Tassajara, or Dougherty Road, or Crow Canyon Road and I-680 S from around the Country Club, and you'll arrive at our doors in less than half an hour.

We're the first choice of many Blackhawk residents who are looking for their next new or pre-owned luxury car--and BMW is the perfect fit for this unique community.

 

The new 2017/2018 lineup of new BMW SUVs has grown since our last deep dive into the X Series models over the summer--with new options, new performance, and a whole new crossover offering, capability has never been so tempting.

Or looked so good.

 

If you've been considering getting into a new hybrid car in the Bay Area--you're on the right track.

And while we'd often compile a "pros and cons" list to help you make a decision for your next car, there aren't really a lot of downsides to buying or leasing a hybrid or electric car in this area. You have the support of locals, the normalization of green technology, and some hard financial reasons to choose this route.

It's no secret that BMW revolutionized the crossover with their very first Sports Activity Vehicle when it was released years ago--creating a crossover that was truly built for your busy lifestyle with an air of elegance alongside its token capabilities. The first BMW X Series models shook off the expectation that dull, drab "utility" was the only thing that could define an SUV.

So, they made their own definition.
