"David was very helpful along the way, keeping us informed and answering any questions via email in a timely manner. I appreciate his willingness to do most of what we needed via email because we were located outside dealer area and both are busy people. I would recommend David to others." -egoyette

Ski-Oriented BMW X1

BMW announced today that it plans to sell a skier-oriented version of the BMW X1. The compact crossover, called the X1 Powder Ride Edition, will show up at dealers next month, and it will only be on sale through the winter. The Powder Ride Edition will make its debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, along with two other BMW X1 concepts.

The BMW X1 Powder Ride Edition will feature unique equipment installed by ski manufacturer K2.

The model — which builds off the BMW X1 xDrive28 xLine or the xDrive35i xLine — includes a roof rack, rails and a BMW original roof box (it offers about 16 cubic feet of extra cargo room). In the cabin, there's aluminum trim, all-weather floormats and a fitted luggage compartment mat. The model comes with 18-inch alloy wheels and doorsill strips painted in a special matte sliver color. There's also a pronounced X-shaped decal wrap on the door, wheel arches and roof box; it’s a polarizing look for sure. The Powder Ride Edition comes in seven exterior colors. 

The big draw for the model is the special edition K2-manufactured ski and snowboarding bag and a pair of K2 LTD Power Ride skis.

No word yet on pricing. We’ll have more information on the BMW X1 Powder Ride Edition at the 2012 L.A. Auto Show.

Darrell Johnson did a wonderful job a few years ago in helping me and my husband buy a BMW convertible. This is why we returned to the dealership last week and asked for his help when purchasing a car for our son. He is always very pleasant and friendly and makes you feel welcome and relaxed. He quickly got everything started for us and took very good care of us as we waited. He helped make it another great experience at Checkered Flag BMW. Thank you.

One of the most pleasurable car buying experiences I've had in 23 years. Stephen made sure customers were the forefront and well taken care of. The transaction was very honest, no sneaky tactics or attempts to decieve customers--a real deal.

The quality of the service and the vehicles themselves were first rate. The store and general managers were also involved in the process and made the experience worthwhile. It is rare to find dealerships of this caliber, let alone in the current reduced and unpredictable economy.

Checkered Flag prides themselves through their customer realtionships as evidenced by their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions on their website and in their e-mails coorespondance. Great working relationships are vital and Stephen Reid and the Checkered Flag Team made it worthwhile.

Checkered Flag has my highest possible recommendation for all recognition as the premier dealership for outstanding vehicle transactions and customer service. Keep up the great work!

The Ultimate Driving Machine, Deserves the Ultimate Driver.

BMW offers multiple programs to teach drivers how to observe and react quickly to any situation you might encounter on the road.

Just as a vehicle is a reflection of its driver, the driver is a reflection of the car. And when both work seamlessly together, they unleash the highest level of performance. Under any circumstance.

The Drivers Program:

In a fraction of a second, the Ultimate Driver can process road conditions and minimize the risk of an accident. Learn how to spot these situations under the watchful eyes of a professional driver.

The Teen Program:

In a controlled environment, and under the supervision of BMW-certified instructors, students will experience a wide range of conditions for safely maneuvering real-world scenarios.

The M Program:

Hone in on quick reflexes and hand-eye coordination. With more horsepower and a sharper chassis, you need to be at the top of your game. We'll make sure you get there.

The Motorcycle Program:

These classes are about control, finesse, and a focus on proper technique—not just wicking the throttle. The result: minimal time in the classroom and maximum time on the course.
