The BMW 3 Series.

Are you or have you considered being the proud new owner of a used BMW 3 Series car manufactured around the turn of the decade?  The 3 Series coupes that were ushered onto the American stage between 2005-2010 embody the very essence that a coupe should be.  They are sporty and stylish.

You may also consider entry-level models such as the less powerful 325/328.  You will still get great performance from the inline-6 engine.  Among BMW enthusiasts these model years have continued to be mega-popular in this country.  In 2007 an all-new coupe debuted.  This one included all-wheel drive.

Now, the important question…how do you keep your new BMW 3 Series in top condition.  That is especially true where the weather changes as quickly and often as here in the Denver area.  People around Littleton and the surrounding area count on The German Car Shoppe for all of their German car’s maintenance and repair.  Call them for an appointment at 5115 S. Santa Fe Drive at (303) 798-2287.

The Best of German SUV’s.

What is out there in the used SUV market for you to consider?  How about the BMW X-5 or X-6?  You won’t have a much better driving experience than with these beauties.  Please be aware that German-made SUV’s have proven to be not as reliable as Japanese or Korean models...but oh, the excitement you will get from driving one!

Naturally, if you are buying a used German SUV then you need to know the background.  How was it maintained and by which driver(s).  There are factors such as acceleration, braking, road-worthiness, and what sort of terrain has it been asked to traverse.  Do your homework when you are looking for a quality German SUV.

Now that you have taken the plunge make sure that you maintain your vehicle the best it can be in 2017 and WAY beyond.  Being a resident of the Denver Metro makes the choice simple.  It is the German Car Shoppe located in Littleton.  Especially this time of year, maintain your high performance German SUV by calling (303) 798-2287.

The New Mercedes 2017 E-Class.

Anticipation runs high for the upcoming North American International Auto Show January 8-22 in the Motor City.  There will be plenty of stars at this spectacular event.  Some will be on two legs, but the real superstars will be on four wheels.  Not the least of these luminaries will be the official unveiling of the new Mercedes 2017 E-Class.

If you have seen pictures of both the luxury and sports versions of this new beauty you are rightfully impressed.  They have been completely redesigned for 2017.  The sport version has a front that is sculpted and lowered.  Meanwhile the new luxury model shows a relationship with the S-Class.  Diesel and hybrid versions of the E-Class will hit the US market a bit later in the year.

All of this is to remind us that Mercedes still makes perhaps the best transportation in the world.  When you own a fine German car you don’t trust its maintenance to just any mechanic.  In the Denver Metro there is one clear-cut choice.  That is the German Car Shoppe located in Littleton.  Especially this time of year, maintain your high performance German vehicle by calling (303) 798-2287.

BMW Maintenance tips.

Now that you own the car of your dreams…your first BMW, you want to make sure that you get many years of top performance out of it.  We want you to be armed with the knowledge of proper care and maintenance of your new BMW.  With regularly scheduled maintenance and proper trouble shooting you will get a couple of hundred thousand miles out of your Bimmer (That is the proper spelling of the word, by the way).

Concerning the structure dashboards and door panels seem to be the most vulnerable.  The panels are prone to rust build-up, so watch for that.  The engine cooling system may become compromised.  Watch for overheating and an inordinate amount of water consumption.  And pay attention to your fuel pump.  If a pump is faulty it can cause major performance issues.

For all of the basics and the intricacies of repair and maintenance, you can count on The German Car Shoppe located in Littleton, CO.  We are your Denver area BMW maintenance professionals.  For many years, owners of German cars have trusted us to take care of their vehicles.  To make an appointment at our 5115 South Santa Fe Dr. location call (303) 798-2287.

The New Porshe Panamera.

Are you considering or do you own the 2017 Porsche Panamera?  Lucky you!  It seems to be a huge improvement over the model that it is replacing.  Owners are touting this new model as the ultimate luxury experience.  The 2017 model is new from the ground up.  It is indisputably a Porsche.  Streamlined, athletic, and fast.
