BMW: Why Their Cars Are Simply Better

A lot of people don't understand why someone would spend the hefty sum of money on a BMW. After all, you could get a Hyundai or a mid-size Ford for half the price, if not less. Is it all about the name? Is it all about having something you can brag to others about? For most owners, not in the slightest. While there is certainly a certain prestige that goes along with owning one of these automobiles, this is not one of those situations where you aren't getting what you pay for. Here are some of the reasons why these cars are a cut above.

A car's horsepower is controlled not only by the size of the engine, but by the fuel injector. It is that injector which says how much gas the car is going to get, and how quickly. Its superior injector is why a BMW is so far above the competition when it comes to power and performance. The get-up-and-go, so to speak, is largely unmatched, unless you get into exotic sports cars, which are certainly going to cost quite a bit more than your off-the-lot Beamer. Not only does the fuel injection system influence the horsepower, however, but it also reduces emissions, making this car one of the surprisingly greener options when it comes to a standard, non-hybrid automobile.

The BMW engine needs a spark from high voltage to crank to life. The spark plugs in the car are specially designed to provide just that, giving the car the unusual ability to start right away, no matter what the outside conditions are like. If you've ever had to crank your car for several minutes to get it to start in the dead of winter, you can probably appreciate this difference. 

The engine is flawless and its performance is unmatched, but the inside is where many BMW lovers first realized that they could not live without this luxury automobile. Of course, every model of the car has its own peculiarities, but one thing remains the same: a commitment to luxury and comfort. These cars are almost entirely unique in their ability to jump the generation gap. Older people tend to prefer comfort and elegance over speed and style. Younger people prefer the opposite. No other car combines the two preferences like a BMW. It is truly a car for any age group.

If you still believe that most of the car's price tag comes from the name on the back, you should immediately make your way down to the local dealer and take a test drive. Really, a million words cannot do what a trip around the block can when it comes to convincing a non-believer. Even if you can't afford one of these automobiles, treat yourself to the drive simply so you can appreciate one of the finer driving experiences auto manufacturers have to offer.
