Hobe Sound Show

100 Years of Cars Show
Cocktail Party at Braman BMW Jupiter kicks off event

Braman BMW Jupiter staff hosted a cocktail party Friday night January 18th to kick off Saturday's 6th annual 100 YEARS OF CARS SHOW at the Pine School in Hobe Sound. All proceeds of the show will benefit the Patriot Scholarship Fund for children of active or veteran military personnel. Braman has been participating for 3 years now.

By it's name, the car show encompasses 100 years of cars. You can see everything from the early 1900's brass era cars to modern exotics. It really reminds you how far the automobile has come in a relatively short period of time.

The show wouldn't be complete without the full Braman Line-up of current generation cars! As a sponsor it is our duty to deliver. We brought out Mini's, Porsche's, Audi's, and BMW's for the crowds viewing pleasure.

We are looking forward to next years show!

All-New BMW 3 Series Sedan Earns "Top Safety Pick"
Newest sports sedan continues BMW long tradition of class-leading safety


Woodcliff Lake, NJ - May 21, 2012 10:00am EDT - The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety today named the all-new 2012 BMW 3 Series Sedan a "Top Safety Pick", continuing the company's long-standing commitment to offering class-leading safety with each new model. In order to earn "Top Safety Pick", a car must receive a rating of "good", the   Institute's highest rating, in all of four tests - 40 mph frontal offset impact, side impact, rear impact protection/head restraint and rollover protection-and must be equipped an electronic stability control system like BMW's Dynamic Stability Control.

"The new 3 Series is a testament to BMW's long tradition of passenger safety as well as to the men and women who engineer and build them," noted Tom Baloga - Vice-President, Engineering (US) for BMW. "While we remain committed to providing the best possible passenger protection, we believe that the best crash is the one avoided. The new 3 Series offers even more active safety technology, firmly rooted in the dynamics and handling that have made it the quintessential sports sedan through six generations."

The newest crash test being conducted by the Institute as part of its overall evaluation is the rollover protection test. Rollover ratings assess vehicle roof strength for protection in rollover crashes. To measure roof strength, a metal plate is pushed against one corner of a vehicle's roof at a constant speed. The maximum force sustained by the roof before 5 inches of crush is compared to the vehicle's weight to find the strength-to-weight ratio.

The Institute believes that electronic stability control is so beneficial that, in order to be deemed a Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must have it. BMW introduced Dynamic Stability Control for the 1995 model year and made it standard on every model sold in the US beginning in 2000.

In addition to Dynamic Stability Control, ABS brakes, Bluetooth mobile phone integration, front and side airbags and head protection airbags, the new 3 Series sedan makes available features previously introduced on higher-end models. These include a full-color Head-up Display, Lane Departure Warning, Rearview Camera with Top-View and Blind-Spot Warning.

BMW Replaces Toyota as Most Valuable Global Car Brand
 
BMW has overtaken Toyota as the world's most valuable automotive brand, an annual ranking of the world's top brands shows. Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Audi improved their  brand value, according to the BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands study released by market research company Millward Brown today. Peter Walshe, Millward Brown global brand director, said that BMW has been able to effectively communicate what sets it apart from other carmakers, while backing up its message with a "very decent product."

BMW was also the most valuable auto brand in 2010, while Toyota held the top spot from 2006 until 2009 as well as last year.
Automotive News  reports that Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Audi were able to rise in the ranking successfully expanding their presence in Asia. Hyundai is the first Korean brand to enter the automotive top 10, taking ninth in the ranking. Walshe said Hyundai's brand value benefits from customers worldwide who seek quality and style at a better price than that charged by the premium brands.

Millward Brown measures brand equity based on interviews with more than 1 million consumers globally and an analysis of the financial and business performance of each company. Read more on how automotive brands fared in this year's rankings here.
