Benefits of Getting Consistent Service for Your BMW
Improved Reliability
If you don’t take good care of your vehicle, it won’t be there for you in the future.
While this means oil changes and tire rotations, it also entails having routine check-ups performed by expert BMW service center at Milito’s Auto Repair in Chicago.
Higher Resale Value
If you’re looking to sell your car at some point in the future, you’ll want to keep up with routine service and maintenance.
This will help to ensure that it continues to run in optimal condition. Selling it will not only be easier down the road, but much more profitable!
Better Fuel Economy
First, make sure your tire pressure is set to the right levels. This prevents your car from expending unnecessary energy and fuel while moving.

How BMW Has Stood The Test Of Time
Why they really are “The ultimate driving machine”
BMW is a brand as rich in history as it is reputation, and the name is synonymous with luxury. While it’s gone through advances, changes, and innovations throughout the years, what hasn’t changed is the superior quality that it provides.
Why is BMW So Popular?
As one BMW owner put it, “Drive one. You’ll figure it out in a hurry why they’re so popular. Nothing else drives like a BMW.” It shows in sales, as those of BMW brand models rose 4.2% in 2017 to 2.09 million passenger cars and SUVs, with almost 1,400 cars sold in Chicago in 2017 alone — the X5 being the number one seller in the Chicagoland area.
And the customization options are endless, from M Performance wheels and brakes to aerodynamic parts and interior trim. BMW prides itself on offering customers a custom-made model, something they feel gives them the edge over the competition.
What to Look for When Buying a Used BMW
A used BMW is an increasingly attractive option, with new models selling for ever-increasing prices.
If you are in the market for a pre-owned BMW, here are five things that you should do:
- Do your Research: Not only Consumer Reports and auto reviews, but taking a specialized mechanic to thoroughly examine the car.
- Take a Long Test Drive: You’re judging your comfort level with the car. Do the power windows all work? Do the safety locks power successfully? You have to be comfortable with your ride before you put down the cash.
- Get a Used Car Inspection: A mechanic that specializes in BMW inspections can identify potential problems and pitfalls with the used BMW that you are considering. When you take it for a test drive, come through Milito’s for a comprehensive used car inspection.
- Go Certified Pre-Owned: The certification provides a long-term warranty which is only offered after a rigorous test fully resolving any visual or technical flaws. The warranty program provides a protection plan of 100,000 miles or six years of coverage, along with 24/7 roadside assistance.
- Ensure Proper Paper Work: Go over the previous car purchase invoice, loan history (if applicable), tax receipt, Registration Certificate, etc. before getting the insurance transferred to your name.
Future Innovations for BMW
According to the company, “everything about the BMW brands is designed to transform customers’ dreams into reality, today and in the future.”
And in the future, you can expect to see a better range with batteries, as well as hybrid technology where you have both gas and electric motors.
They’re also working on autonomous driving, electro-mobility, creative concept models, and devices that connect the vehicle with its surroundings and other traffic.
The History of BMW
BMW can trace its roots back to March 7, 1916, when Bayerische Motoren Werke was formed as BFW (Bayerische Flugzeugwerke), a company that primarily made airplane engines.
BMW relocated their production facility to the Oberwiesenfeld airfield near Munich in 1922, and the production facility would eventually become the headquarters for the entire BMW group. Today the Munich headquarters manufacture more than 200,000 cars every year and employ more than 9,000 employees.
In 1923, BMW expanded from manufacturing airplane engines to motorcycles. Their first motorcycle was called the R32, and the engine was so efficient that it’s still used today in modern day BMW motorcycles.
The First Cars
But what about automobiles? BMW became a manufacturer in 1928 by purchasing Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach, the third largest automobile manufacturer located in Germany at the time. The first car was built in 1929, and after surviving the war, the company began to thrive.
In 1951, BMW produced the 501 — its first automobile since the outbreak of the war. It was known for its large interior and the fact that it could comfortably sit six people. By 1954, the BMW 502 V8 super made its debut, which allowed the company to enhance its reputation worldwide. When BMW introduced a muscle 507 car in 1956, it became the company’s largest money earner at that time.
