Should I Buy a BMW?

A 2020 BMW X5 driving on a dirt road

Many drivers compare BMW vs. Mercedes-Benz before they search for a new or pre-owned vehicle. However, any driver who’s wondering, “Should I buy a BMW?” should be pitting Audi vs. BMW and Lexus vs. BMW, too! We want you to get everything you desire out of your Marietta adventures, so we’ve created a general overview of the BMW features and benefits.

Find out what sets our models apart below, and then find your new BMW at our Alpharetta dealership.

BMW Features & Benefits: Performance

When you drive with BMW, you can be certain that you’re getting The Ultimate Driving Machine®. That’s not just a slogan; it’s a summarization of some of our neighbors’ favorite BMW features and benefits:

  • Engine and Powertrain Options: BMW models almost always offer more engine options than their closest rivals. In some cases, each trim comes with its own engine! This means that it’s easy to find a model with the performance specs that you desire.
  • High-Performance Drivetrains: Many BMW vehicles are standard with rear-wheel drive, which offers a more exciting performance than more conventional front-wheel drive. Upgrade with BMW xDrive Intelligent AWD, and you’ll enjoy unparalleled control on the roads near Johns Creek and Milton.
  • M Performance Options: If you won’t settle for anything less than the best, commit to choosing an M Performance vehicle from our inventory. These models put the engineering prowess of the BMW team on full display, and models like the M5 can go from 0 to 60 in as little as 3.2 seconds.

Which is Better, BMW vs. Mercedes-Benz? Drivers might expect these two brands to come in neck-and-neck at the racetrack, but the truth is that, for decades, Mercedes-Benz has been known more for leisurely comfort than performance. They’re making more high-performance models today, but we think BMW retains a clear edge, founded on experience.

BMW Features & Benefits: Technology & Comfort

  • BMW iDrive® Infotainment: Our customers only have good things to say about the sharp and responsive BMW iDrive® 7.0 interface. Our models are often offered with 7-inch, 10.25-inch, or 12.3-inch touchscreens, and you can also control features using the available hard keys and rotary controllers. Plus, you can easily connect your vehicle to your smartphone with BMW ConnectedDrive.
  • Advanced Technology for Drivers and Passengers: That’s not all. More and more of our cars and SAVs® are available with advanced features like a head-up display, wireless device charging, a rear-seat entertainment system, and more. Everyone will feel right at home inside the cabin.
  • Safety and Driver Assistance: Of course, no vehicle in our inventory will leave you wanting more in the way of safety features. The new X5 includes blind-spot monitoring, parking sensors, automatic forward braking, and much more as standard. Almost all vehicles offer the BMW Active Driving Assist® package as optional, if not as standard.

Take a look at the 3 Series interior or the X7 configurations to get an even better sense of what our models are offering.

BMW Brand Comparison: Value & Luxury

Getting more for your money and avoiding expensive repairs becomes a whole lot easier when you choose BMW. Compare BMW vs. Mercedes-Benz, Lexus vs. BMW, and Audi vs. BMW below:

Reliability

  • In J.D. Power’s 2020 Reliability Study, BMW owners only reported 123 problems per 100 vehicles per 100 vehicles sold (PP100), over the last twelve months, for their three-year-old vehicles. Explore BMW reliability in-depth today.
  • Of the brands we’ve mentioned, only Lexus scored higher for reliability. Audi owners reported 136 PP100, while Mercedes-Benz owners reported 152 PP100.

Warranty Coverage and Complimentary Maintenance

  • BMW offers complimentary maintenance for the first three years or 36,000 miles of your ownership experience. Lexus and Audi only offer 1 year or 10,000 miles of complimentary maintenance, and Mercedes-Benz doesn’t offer any complimentary maintenance visits.
  • Each of these vehicle brands includes a Limited New Car Warranty that protects you for 4 years or 50,000 miles. However, since those first three years of maintenance are so affordable with BMW, you’re bound to experience fewer problems down the line.
