      <title>BMW of Santa Maria Is Showing Central Coast Consumers the Benefits of Leasing</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Customers at BMW of Santa Maria can experience the benefits of leasing a new vehicle, without the stress and hassle of a committed purchase.</p><p>Santa Maria, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/30/2012 --  At BMW of Santa Maria in Santa Maria, California, customers are experiencing the many benefits of leasing a BMW rather than buying one this new year. <br />
<br />
When customers decide to purchase a vehicle, they are committed to paying the car&apos;s entire cost with a large down payment and large monthly payments.  When customers decide to lease a vehicle, they are committed to paying for the car&apos;s worth with little-to-no down payment and with small monthly payments.  Leasing offers the customer an opportunity to drive a brand new vehicle with very low costs. <br />
<br />
Leasing means that customers simply keep the car for a fixed amount of months instead of actually owning the car outright; therefore, drivers who lease have the option of returning or trading the vehicle in for another new car at the end of the fixed amount of months, or even buying the leased vehicle for the remaining price.  Drivers who enjoy driving a new car every two or three years, but don&apos;t want the immediate out of pocket payment, should definitely look into leasing options. <br />
<br />
BMW of Santa Maria offers several financing options for drivers to lease many new BMW models.  For example, right now they are offering the 2012 BMW 128i at $369 per month for 36 months.  There is a small down payment of $2,500, as is the case in most leasing offers, and acquisition fees. <br />
<br />
In addition to great lease offers on many new BMW vehicles, BMW of Santa Maria is known for their monthly specials, 0% APR on Certified Pre-Owned BMW vehicles, and much more. <br />
<br />
If you are interested in learning more about the leasing options available to you, please visit BMW of Santa Maria in Santa Maria, California.  Their friendly staff will be happy to go over the leasing options and answer any questions you may have about leasing your next BMW.

      <title>BMW of Santa Maria Talks BMW Safety After Local Car Crash</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">BMW of Santa Maria speaks out about BMW Safety after a serious car crash where a BMW car saved three lives due to numerous safety features.</p><p>Santa Maria, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/24/2012 --  BMW of Santa Maria in Central California is sharing the importance of BMW safety after a serious BMW car crash took place in a nearby town.<br />
<br />
The family of three driving the 2001 BMW 235i survived the dramatic crash after they were rescued from their crushed vehicle dangling off of a bridge. <br />
<br />
Safety has always been a big concern for all car buyers, especially car buyers with families. Each year auto makers are stepping up their efforts for safety features within their vehicle designs, and BMW is a brand that takes safety very seriously. Marshall Williams, General Manager at BMW of Santa Maria, stated "You have the capability to drive 150 miles per hour on the autobahn… so obviously they&apos;re going to design their technology and safety around that," when talking about the Germany highways where BMW is headquartered. <br />
<br />
BMW has been named an IIHS Top Safety Pick for several vehicles the past few years. Side airbags, front driver and passenger airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Antilock Brakes and other standard safety features like these can be found all almost all vehicles these days. However, BMW keeps their promise by offering more. <br />
<br />
New safety innovations for BMW vehicles include Active Knee Protection airbag for severe impact protection, Adaptive Brake Lights that actually illuminate a larger, brighter light when the driver is putting forth more force on the brakes. This gives the vehicle behind the BMW a better understanding of what the situation may be, either lightly slowing down or applying full force for sudden stops. Lane Departure Warning is another new innovation for BMW, where a camera is placed between the rear-view mirror and windshield to evaluate the markings on the road and warn the driver when drifting or switching lanes without a turn signal. <br />
<br />
Other innovative safety technologies for BMW include, Night Vision for drivers to see pedestrians and animals, Park Distance Control to detect unseen objects behind the vehicle and so much more. <br />
<br />
To learn more about the safety features in every BMW vehicle or to take a test drive in one of the Top Safety Pick BMWs, visit BMW of Santa Maria or call and schedule an appointment to meet with one of their friendly and professional staff.

      <title>Discover the 2012 BMW X3 on the Central Coast at BMW of Santa Maria</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">With performance, comfort, and connectivity, the 2012 BMW X3 makes the IIHS Top Safety List at BMW of Santa Maria.</p><p>Santa Maria, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/29/2011 --  BMW of Santa Maria is pleased to announce that the 2012 BMW X3 has now joined its extensive inventory of BMW models.  The 2012 X3 offers BMW performance with comfort and connectivity in this luxury crossover, and was recently awarded as a 2012 IIHS Top Safety Pick. <br />
<br />
The 2012 BMW X3 offers solid fuel efficiency to drivers with its BMW EfficientDynamics.  BMW EfficientDynamics are able to reduce fuel emissions and consumption while maximizing the vehicle&apos;s performance.  The 2012 X3&apos;s Brake Energy Reduction takes energy used while braking or idling and uses it to charge the battery.  The crossover&apos;s design also helps improve fuel efficiency by producing the best drag coefficient in its class.  Overall the 2012 BMW X3 is estimated to achieve 19 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. <br />
<br />
In addition to the Brake Energy Reduction technology, the BMW X3 has other safety features that helped win an IIHS Top Safety Pick this year. Several airbags inside the cabin, like side curtain and roof airbags, helped the SUV achieve the best ratings on roll over and front impact collision tests. Electronic stability control is required in order to be considered an IIHS Safety Pick, and the BMW X3 is fully equipped with stability control as well as xDrive, knee-protection airbags, BMW Assist emergency call center and a strong exterior shell to protect its occupants. <br />
<br />
Inside the 2012 BMW X3, drivers and passengers can enjoy a comfortable cabin.  For storage needs, all the back seats fold down to create a spacious trunk area to store large cargo.  Cup holders in the front and back and cargo area in the front doors of the 2012 X3 allow cans and bottles to be stored with ease.  The spacious cabin can also fit up to five people with plenty of head and leg room.<br />
<br />
Also inside the 2012 BMW X3 is the BMW Connected Drive, which provides connectivity for both drivers and passengers.  For drivers, the 2012 X3&apos;s Head-Up Display illuminates important information that usually appears on the instrument cluster on the window, directly in front of the driver&apos;s field of vision.  By connecting an iPhone to the BMW Connected Drive, drivers and passengers can access their apps on the 8.8-inch display.  Internet based services can also be accessed on the display monitor.<br />
<br />

      <title>Supporting Our Schools BMW of Santa Maria and Other Local Dealerships Step in to Help Raise Money</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The 2011 Central Coast Support Our Schools Car Raffle is a huge success thanks to area dealerships, including BMW of Santa Maria.</p><p>Santa Maria, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/22/2011 --  The Support Our Schools (SOS) Car Raffle for 2011 had an amazing success this year. With a total of nine local schools and organizations, the same number of participants from last year, and a much stronger need to succeed, the outcome was more than expected. <br />
<br />
The Central Coast SOS Car Raffle in Santa Maria allows the local car dealerships the opportunity to give back to the community and local schools. Toyota &amp; Scion of Santa Maria, Honda of Santa Maria, Home Motors Chevrolet &amp; Cadillac, and BMW of Santa Maria all joined together to provide an easy and simple fundraiser for area schools to raise money. The raffle tickets are sold for $20 by each school and all money raised stays with each school, the cars raffled off are simply donated by the dealerships. The best part, the winner of the area wide raffle is given a choice, either a new car or a large cash prize. <br />
<br />
For 2011, our area schools raised over $103,900 in all; passing last year&apos;s total of $85,000. The schools that participated were: St. Joseph High School, Righetti High School, Pacific Christian School, La Purisima School, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Lakeview Junior High, St. Mary&apos;s School, Children&apos;s House Montessori, and Pioneer Valley High School. The winner of this year&apos;s raffle chose the cash prize, and though asked to remain anonymous, is very thankful for this fundraiser during the Holiday Season. <br />
<br />
During these difficult times, with school budget cuts and other difficulties school officials face, the community support can be an overwhelming relief. This event, which started in 2006, allows the community to take a step forward and provide much-needed resources to the local schools.<br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone who organized, participated, and supported the 2011 Central Coast Support Our Schools Car Raffle. <br />
