M-ORE Construction Updates

We must admit showing you a picture of our almost finished car wash facility is almost as exciting as watching paint dry, we hope to spice this construction update a bit with a few cars from our fleet BMW M Vehicles. As you can see here the exterior of the building is completed, the interior is being furnished as we speak, 1 automatic touch-less car wash and 4 detailing bays. More Pictures after the Jump.

Now all three cars are available for sale from our pre-owned department. From the left is a Black 2006 BMW M5 Sedan, then we have a Melbourne Red 2011 BMW X6M, and on the right is a Blue 2009 BMW M3 Cabriolet. We have these types of cars in our inventory very often. for inquiries email us at bdc@tcbmw.ca

Das Batmobile

This very rare Canadian 2011 Frozen Black M3 Coupe won't look too out of place in a Batman film with Michael Keaton. Okay, V8 with 414 horsepower and the ever so sinister paint makes this one mean ride. Only around 8600kms more pictures after the jump. (Update: Just Sold)

The car MSRP at $100,643 when it was new but now it is yours for the taking at $87,900. This car was limited to only 24 units for North America.

We think it looks great in a Hollywood Movie chase Scene, don't you think?

Consumer Reports Ranks Lexus LS 460L as Best Car Made in 2012

Consumer Reports & J.D. Powers

Rank Lexus LS 460L as Best Car Made in 2012

My favorite car of all time is the Lexus LS 460, and I will be writing much more about it in the future. Apparently Consumer Reports thinks the same thing, and here is what they had to say:

"Not all cars are created equal, and we have the data to prove it. Consumer Reports puts each vehicle through more than 50 individualized tests and evaluations to come out with a road test score that determines each vehicle’s Rating. This number represents how well a vehicle performs in a variety of areas including braking, acceleration, fuel economy, comfort, and cargo space among others. Overall test scores are presented on a 100-point scale and we list the best- and worst- scoring models below."
