The Tour de Fair Haven is a competitive bike race and fundraiser that has grown to be the second largest cycling event in New Jersey. More than 450 cyclists are expected at this year’s race, an increase of nearly 50 percent since the inception of the race in 2009. Cyclists travel from as far as England and Oregon to participate in this exciting local event. The Tour de Fair Haven is presented by USA Cycling Federation (USCF) affiliate Cycles54 and ForeFront, Inc., in partnership with the Borough of Fair Haven. Returning as the title sponsor for the fourth year is Saker ShopRites.

Tour de Fair Haven Runs 1.7 Miles

The rolling 1.7 mile course runs along the scenic Navesink River, through downtown Fair Haven and winds throughout several charming neighbors. The start/finish line is located in front of the Fair Haven Firehouse on River Road. Back this year, by popular demand, is a women’s professional race and a kid’s race that will take place immediately following the final professional race. A total of $10,000 will be awarded to the winners of the six professional races. In conjunction with the event, prizes will also be awarded to spectators with the best house and tailgate decorations along the race route. Local residents are encouraged to throw a party on their lawn and tailgaters are welcome to congregate at the Youth Center on Third Street. Coastal Décor, a Fair Haven-based gift shop and interior design studio, will donate free cowbells to spectators while supplies last.

In previous years, the Tour de Fair Haven has been held in September. According to Race Director, Michel Berger, “the schedule change is an attempt to attract the Jersey Shore summer crowd to visit our quaint town of Fair Haven and the surrounding Monmouth County communities.”

Circle BMW Thrilled to Sponsor Tour

Circle BMW President, Tom DeFelice, said, “It has been a thrill to be a part of the Tour de Fair Haven and watch as it has developed into a first-class competitive bike race both statewide and in the Northeast region.”

Event proceeds and sponsorships will be donated to the Foundation of Fair Haven to help fund programs that promote bike safety and encourage borough residents to use their bicycles around town. In past years, the Tour de Fair Haven raised donated funds to the 2012 Fair Haven Centennial celebration and the Joan Dancy & PALS Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients and their families in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

The BMW 3-Series Convertible and 1-Series Convertible both made appearances on Total Car Score’s Top Ten Convertible Cars for 2012.  According to Karl Brauer, editor in chief, founder and CEO of Total Car Score, these top ten convertibles “are synonymous with summer fun.”

Circle BMW Highlights Fuel Efficiency of New 3-Series

The new 3-Series at Circle BMW features EfficientDynamics, a combination of systems designed to minimize fuel consumption. An automatic start-stop function is one such feature and it comes standard with both manual and automatic transmissions. This system automatically switches off the engine at traffic lights or in stationary traffic. It’s joined by BMW’s Brake Energy Regeneration system, which powers the alternator only during braking or overrun.

The 2012 BMW 1-series raises the bar for entry-level luxury vehicles with state-of-the-art BMW refinement and balanced performance.  The convertible offers comforts such as a high-definition audio system, auxiliary input jack, automatic climate control, leather wrapped steering wheel and multi-way adjustable front seats.

For more information on the top rated BMW convertibles, visit http://www.circlebmw.com or call the dealership at (888) 553-3958.

The BMW 3-Series has been the benchmark for all other sports sedans, and the BMW 328i continues its reign as a category leader in 2012. To prove its worthiness at the top, Motor Trend pitted the 3-Series against seven other sedans in its category to see who would come out on top. In true BMW fashion, the leading 3-Series sedan held its reign against all seven competitors.

Even in a head-to-head comparison with the Buick Regal GS, Infiniti G25, Acura TSX V-6, Lexus IS 250 F-Sport, Audi A4 Quattro, Mercedes Benz C-250 and the Volvo S60 T5, Motor Trend editors declared the BMW 328i “best in test and best in class.”

Motor Trend goes on to say, “This is not just a win for the 328i—it’s a massacre. A slaughter. Doomsday. Armageddon…There is no competition.”

Circle BMW Highlights Motor Trend’s Road Test With 328i

According to Motor Trend road testers, the BMW was the fastest vehicle out of the group (0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds). The 328i was also deemed to have the best steering and transmission, was the only car with start/stop technology, earned a class leading 36 highway miles per gallon, had the interior with the best layout, best navigation screen and above all else, the biggest back seat. What most likely sealed the deal for the 328i, however, was the fact that Motor Trend said it was “without question the most fun to drive.”

The supreme victory is a big feat for BMW, after the brand introduced a number of updates and enhancements for the 2012 3-Series models.

Circle BMW says that the 2012 3-Series models are extremely versatile, making these vehicles functional and comfortable for anyone regardless of their lifestyle. The impressive 328i is available in four different body styles: Coupe, Convertible, Sedan, and Sports Wagon.

Circle BMW is also quick to point out that the 328i model is not only a ‘fun to drive’ car, it’s also a safe one. Safety is the cornerstone of BMW’s brand, and to that end the 3-Series models offer Dynamic Stability, Traction Control systems, and Hill Descent Control so the driver can feel completely safe, even with all of that power in their hands. They also come equipped with BMW’s Advanced Safety System Crash Sensor, which unlocks the doors, activates interior lights, turns on the flashers and disconnects the battery.

The 2012 BMW 328i and the rest of the 3-Series lineup is available for BMW enthusiasts at Circle BMW in NJ.

BMW Group Financial Services, which offers leasing, retail and wholesale financing services to BMW owners and centers, created the Driving Force in 1998 to recognize select retailers for their business commitments to BMW FS.  Today, those investments have helped the company’s commercial lending portfolio exceed $34 billion in serviced assets.

“We are honored to recognize Circle BMW for their exceptional commitment to our organization.  We are fortunate and proud to have such a valued business partner, particularly in this economic climate,” said Ed Robinson, president and CEO, BMW Group Financial Services.

It is in the spirit of partnership, Robinson notes, that BMW FS has made a donation to The Seeing Eye Foundation on behalf of the Driving Force members.  “We greatly admire the tireless work of The Seeing Eye and remain committed to support the thousands of men, women and canine companions who demonstrate the true meaning of partnership everyday,” Robinson adds.

This is the third Driving Force donation made to The Seeing Eye.  The funds are used to sponsor a puppy-in-training.  The newest addition, Reba, will be raised by a foster family for 18 months before heading to Seeing Eye headquarters in New Jersey to undergo rigorous training. After that Reba will be paired with her human partner.

In 2008, BMW introduced the 1 Series to the U.S., an authentic performance coupe that drew inspiration from the iconic BMW 2002 model of some 40 years ago. As perhaps the next BMW legend, the 1 Series Coupe represents the core BMW philosophy of pure performance, compact dimensions, and premium design. By combining sporty rear-wheel-drive dynamics, agile handling, powerful engines and seating for four, the 2012 1 Series Coupe continues to reinvent the niche that the legendary BMW 2002 created.

Powerful engines, the rear-wheel drive typical of the brand and inspirational agility make the BMW 1 Series Coupe in NJ stand out from the crowd. It possesses characteristics unique in the compact premium vehicle segment.

BMW 128i in NJ

The 2012 BMW 1-Series leads the upscale small car class with its high end performance, capability and luxurious interior. The 2012 1-Series lives up to its BMW name by providing drivers with a dominant engine powered by rear-wheel drive that adds to the BMW’s racing feel. The 2012 BMW 128i Coupe is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces an impressive 230 horsepower. Surprising for its power, the 128i achieves an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.

Convenience and technology features are abundant throughout the luxurious interior. The automatic climate control allows for different temperature controls and includes a micro-filter and automatic air recirculation, left/right temperature control. Other standard convenience features include a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, power front windows with “one-touch” up and down, cruise control, rain-sensing windshield wipers and automatic headlight control. The leather-wrapped sport steering wheel features audio and hands-free phone controls.

Driving is smooth and controlled with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), which includes Brake Fade Compensation, Start-off Assistant, Brake Drying and Brake Stand-by features. The 2012 BMW 128i in NJ is equipped with an extensive list of safety features, including four-wheel anti-lock brakes, side seat mounted airbags, curtain first and second row overhead airbags, airbag occupancy sensor and driveline traction control.

For more information on the arrival of the 2012 BMW 128i Coupe, please call 732-982-2053 or visit http://www.circlebmw.com.

The new design of the front fascia includes BMW’s innovative Air Curtain that counters turbulence near the wheel arches and so reduces the aerodynamic resistance of the vehicle. New exterior design accents have been incorporated into the headlight and tail light clusters. In the interior, new switches and controls have a more refined look and feel. The updated 1 Series Convertible will go on sale this Spring.

For drivers whose definition of Joy includes wind in the face and sunshine above, the BMW 1 Series Convertible in Eatontown continues the tradition established by the iconic BMW 2002 sport sedan. The essence of such driving purity – a responsive inline-6 engine perfectly positioned within a rear-drive chassis to provide balanced, sporty dynamics – is at the heart of this compact four-seat convertible. For the 2012 model year, two versions are available with inline-6 power: the 128i and the 135i.

BMW 1 Series Eatontown

n a mere 22 seconds—even on the move at speeds up to 25 miles per hour—occupants of the BMW 1 Series Convertible in Eatontown can go from encapsulated comfort to top-down exhilaration. If conditions dictate, the electro-hydraulically-operated softtop can be raised within the same 22 seconds, producing a distinctive silhouette enhanced by long frameless doors. The characteristic features of the BMW kidney-shaped grill, front skirt, door sills and rear skirt are identical to those of the 1 Series Coupe.

The standard softtop is available in either black or taupe cloth, but it is the optional Moonlight Black version which is unique to the 1 Series Convertible. Interwoven with fine shiny metallic fibers, this distinctive top produces a shimmery metallic silver appearance in sunlight. The visual effect enhances the convertible’s exciting range of nine colors which includes an exclusive hue: Cashmere Silver Metallic.

A distinctive feature of the 1 Series Convertible is the flared shoulder line which runs parallel to the road. This shoulder line flows from the hood past the A pillar to the trunk lid, forming a surface which encompasses the entire interior, giving the impression of a boat deck.

The view from the rear is influenced by the position of the softtop: with the top lowered, completely concealed in the tail, the look is flat and elegant; the appearance with the top up is broad shouldered. The trunk lid has an integrated spoiler chiseled into the rear end of the car to accentuate the short rear section. On the 135i, an additional lip spoiler provides greater downforce on the rear end at high speeds.

For more information on this vehicle or Circle BMW, please call 732-982-2053 or visit http://www.circlebmw.com.

Qualified participants will have the opportunity to test drive the all-new BMW 650i Convertible, the full line up of BMW models and get behind the wheel of the competition.

Beyond the basic shape of the car and its classic lines, the new design of the headlights, the enhanced depth and detail of the taillights, the interior, and even the exterior mirrors were specifically created for the 3-Series. These unique design elements reflect the sporty character of the car.

Circle BMW invites consumers to visit their NJ showroom and test-drive a new 3-Series or 5-Series model today. To learn more about the new 2011 models that feature extended incentives, call Circle BMW at 732-982-2053.

3-Series Models Available at Circle BMW in NJ

The next generation of 3-Series models includes a performance-oriented coupe, sedan and convertible.  New exterior styling updates have been introduced for 2011 328i and 335i models and a new engine for 335i models. Beyond the basic shape of the car and its classic lines, the new design of the headlights, the enhanced depth and detail of the taillights, the interior, and even the exterior mirrors were specifically created for the 3-Series.  These unique design elements reflect the sporty character of the car.

The Z4 is one of BMW’s sportiest models featuring a classic two-seat roadster look with a modern, two-piece power retractable hardtop.   Sports car fans love the Z4 for its ability to combine an elegant looking car with the handling and enjoyment of a convertible coupe.

Inside, the 2011 BMW Z4 puts a greater emphasis on comfort, luxury and refinement with features like the retractable hardtop, roomy cabin, enhanced rearward visibility and a luxurious ambience.

On the road, the Z4 boasts a superb ride quality that rivals that of a much larger, more expensive convertible. In fact, Car and Driver said, “The Z4 grips the road as surely as a Corvette or a Porsche Boxster S.”

BMW 3 Series in NJ

BMW 3 Series Convertible

BMW made substantial enhancements to the 2011 3 Series Coupe and Convertible, including outstanding style updates for 328i and 335i models and a new engine for 335i models.Fundamentally unchanged are each car’s essential attributes of rear-wheel drive (xDrive is available on the Coupe), near-perfect 50-50 weight distribution, remarkably precise steering, and skillfully engineered suspension…all of which conspire to produce the uniquely satisfying driving experience that is quintessentially BMW.

Because the Coupe and Convertible are four-passenger cars, the rear seat passengers are treated to a center console between their individual rear seats which includes individual storage boxes, additional air outlet vents, and footwell lights.

The profile of the BMW 3 Series is instantly recognizable at first glance. Beyond the basic shape of the car and its classic lines, the new design of the headlights, the enhanced depth and detail of the taillights, the interior, and even the exterior mirrors were specifically created for the 3-Series. These unique design elements reflect the sporty character of the car.

The emphasis on individual style, dynamic performance and exclusivity continues within the interior. Here again, the focus is on the driving experience, as announced by the standard leather multifunction steering wheel. Horizontal lines dominate the surfaces on and around the instrument panel which blend with the lines of the center console door panels to give the interior a light but dynamic feel. In true BMW fashion, all operational and informational elements essential to driving are grouped on and around the steering wheel. Climate controls, as well as those for the audio and navigation systems, are within easy reach of the front passenger.

To see the next generation of 3-Series models at Circle BMW, call the dealership at 732-982-2053 to schedule a test drive.

Since BMW is certain that the CPO BMW is sure to be a great vehicle, it’s backed by a 6 year/100,000 mile Protection Plan and six years of BMW Roadside Assistance.

Financing and leasing offers similar to those of a new BMW are also available for Certified Pre-Owned BMW vehicles.

It’s easy to see that a CPO BMW is a great purchase, and with the special offer available on select CPO models of the BMW M Series, now is a great time to buy a Certified BMW M Series. For more information on the M Series or M Driving School, contact New Jersey BMW dealers Circle BMW by calling 732-982-2053.

The BMW X3 is a five-passenger compact luxury crossover available in two trim levels: the xDrive28i and the xDrive35i.

On paper, it’s easy to see why the BMW X3 leads its class. It’s more fuel efficient than both the Mercedes GLK and the Lexus RX 350. It’s the only one of its peers to include no-cost maintenance, saving you thousands. BMW Ultimate Service includes premium vehicle maintenance services for absolutely no cost for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Customers looking for a new SAV can visit the leading NJ BMW dealer to see why the X3 is a leader in its segment by taking it for a test drive.

NJ BMW Dealer

The BMW X3 is, of course, well-equipped with features that BMW shoppers have come to expect from the leading NJ BMW dealer.

Standard features on the 28i include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, foglights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, eight-way power front seats, a tilt-and-telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, leatherette upholstery, automatic climate control, cruise control, Bluetooth, BMW’s iDrive electronics interface and a 12-speaker audio system with a CD player, HD radio, an auxiliary audio jack and an iPod interface. The 35i adds 18-inch alloy wheels and adaptive xenon headlights.

Options are largely grouped into packages, but several of the items are available separately. The Sport Activity package varies slightly for each model, but includes 18-inch wheels, sport front seats, roof rails and a sport transmission with paddle shifters. The Premium package adds a sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and leather upholstery.

The new design of the front fascia includes BMW’s innovative Air Curtain that counters turbulence near the wheel arches and so reduces the aerodynamic resistance of the vehicle. New exterior design accents have been incorporated into the headlight and tail light clusters. In the interior, new switches and controls have a more refined look and feel. The updated 1 Series Convertible will go on sale this Spring.

For drivers whose definition of Joy includes wind in the face and sunshine above, the BMW 1 Series Convertible in Eatontown continues the tradition established by the iconic BMW 2002 sport sedan. The essence of such driving purity – a responsive inline-6 engine perfectly positioned within a rear-drive chassis to provide balanced, sporty dynamics – is at the heart of this compact four-seat convertible. For the 2012 model year, two versions are available with inline-6 power: the 128i and the 135i.

BMW 1 Series Eatontown

n a mere 22 seconds—even on the move at speeds up to 25 miles per hour—occupants of the BMW 1 Series Convertible in Eatontown can go from encapsulated comfort to top-down exhilaration. If conditions dictate, the electro-hydraulically-operated softtop can be raised within the same 22 seconds, producing a distinctive silhouette enhanced by long frameless doors. The characteristic features of the BMW kidney-shaped grill, front skirt, door sills and rear skirt are identical to those of the 1 Series Coupe.

The standard softtop is available in either black or taupe cloth, but it is the optional Moonlight Black version which is unique to the 1 Series Convertible. Interwoven with fine shiny metallic fibers, this distinctive top produces a shimmery metallic silver appearance in sunlight. The visual effect enhances the convertible’s exciting range of nine colors which includes an exclusive hue: Cashmere Silver Metallic.

A distinctive feature of the 1 Series Convertible is the flared shoulder line which runs parallel to the road. This shoulder line flows from the hood past the A pillar to the trunk lid, forming a surface which encompasses the entire interior, giving the impression of a boat deck.

The view from the rear is influenced by the position of the softtop: with the top lowered, completely concealed in the tail, the look is flat and elegant; the appearance with the top up is broad shouldered. The trunk lid has an integrated spoiler chiseled into the rear end of the car to accentuate the short rear section. On the 135i, an additional lip spoiler provides greater downforce on the rear end at high speeds.

This award, handed out by the ALG is especially important because ALG is the benchmark in the industry for depreciation data and residual value.  ALG publishes important and sought-after industry data and consulting services. It regularly publishes the Automotive Lease Guide, which is the standard for Residual Value projections in the United States and Canada.

The awards are based on 2011 model year vehicles. ALG has also included awards for the brands that have the highest overall predicted resale values among all industry and all luxury vehicles. Award winners are featured on ALG.com and other automotive publications and websites dedicated to bringing the industry’s best-performing models into the public eye.

The 2011 BMW X3, available at this New Jersey BMW dealer, was amongst 19 winners in different automobile segments.  The award is based on a certain set of criteria that is used on all of the 19 segments.  The criteria for the award include segment competition, over-all car quality, vehicle performance, industry trends, production levels relative to demand and pricing, and marketing strategies.

Circle BMW X3 Earns Top Honor

Recognizing that residual values are a widely used measure of brand health and vehicle quality, ALG honors those vehicles in each segment predicted to retain the highest percentage of their MSRP after a three year period. The annual awards are derived after careful study of segment competition, sales strategy, resale performance, and industry residual values.  ALG also includes Industry Brand Residual Value Awards, bestowed on the brands with the highest predicted resale values among all mainstream and luxury vehicles.

The 2011 BMW X3, available at one of the leading New Jersey BMW dealers, features unique Nissan characteristics that set this brand apart and have led to its impressive rise in market sales and industry recognition. The 2011 X3 took home the Residual Value Award in the Luxury Compact Utility class, one of the toughest classes to take home the award due to the high volume of vehicles and competitors in this class.  The 2011 BMW X3 took home the top honors in the prestigious Luxury Sportscar field, beating out top competitors from Lexus, Audi, Volvo, and others.

The next option that customers have at one of the leading BMW dealers in New Jersey is a great APR financing plan.  Buyers of a great pre-owned BMW will have the option of getting 0.9% APR financing on their purchase.  The common misconception is that BMWs are more expensive and typically harder to finance.  Circle BMW wants to end that myth and give car buyers of all types the ability own a high quality automobile like a BMW.

Circle BMW Has Great Specials

If these two options don’t suit what you’re looking for then there is a third option that will help give drivers and owners peace of mind and protect them in case anything goes wrong with their vehicle.  The third option gives owners of a pre-owned BMW from Circle BMW up to 6 years or 100,000 miles of worry-free, no cost maintenance.  This is an unbelievable feature, one not seen on pre-owned or used vehicles.

With this third option, pre-owned BMW owners will get oil changes, filter changes, tire pressure adjustments, tire rotations, and all of the basic maintenance that can cost you over time with another dealership.  But with Circle BMW, owners will be entitled to all of these features and benefits for free up until 100,000 miles.  Furthermore, this option is also great because most of the pre-owned BMWs on the lot have around 35,000 miles on them, so you’ll be covered for quite a long time.

Now it is decision time for all of you potential customers out there.  Do you go with the payment credit, impressive financing, or the great warranty offer?  It is definitely a tough decision but a decision that will work out for any potential owner, regardless of which path you decide to choose.

Stop by now and look at the great inventory of pre-owned BMWs on the lot at Circle BMW.  For more information on Circle BMW, please call 732-982-2053 or visit http://www.circlebmw.com.

BMW Ultimate Service

With a philosophy that customers should only worry about insurance, fuel and tire costs, BMW first introduced the maintenance (scheduled) for the 1993 models 750iL Sedan and 850Ci Coupe. After some time BMW expanded it to Full Maintenance in order to include the 1997 models and at the same time ensured a Scheduled Maintenance plan for all other models featuring a three year period or 36,000 miles.

The start of the new millennium, sparked a plan that became Full Maintenance, and covered items that could wear and further expanded it starting with the 2003 model year to the present 4 years or 50,000 miles. BMW’s Ultimate Service could now be the same as the New Vehicle Limited Warranty period. The BMW Ultimate Service now takes care of all repairs during the period at no additional cost.

The small car is getting a bigger engine along with other 2011 models. Early reports are citing that the 2011 model will feature the new single-turbocharged “N55″ six-cylinder engine, which contains BMW’s Valvetronic technology and direct fuel injection.

The car will feature a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), the first application of a DCT with the N55 in-line six.

The car is receiving high marks in early test drives- especially on the race track. Automobile Magazine took the 135i out to the race track, where they enjoy the car’s “quick, thrusty upshifts in manual mode” and described the car as “nimble.” They noted that the car’s transmission changes to lower gears quickly.

The engine of the car, a 300-hp N55 engine, reaches its 300 lb-ft torque peak 200 rpm sooner than the N54, allowing for smoother acceleration. Car testers report that the six-speed manual car is capable of the same 0-to-60-mph acceleration times as last year’s model, but dual-clutch automatic cars pick up two-tenths on N54-powered models- 5.0 seconds for the 2011 135i coupe versus 5.2 seconds for the 2010 model.

The engine of the 2011 model also helps save gas on the manual models. The new engine, along with revised gearing, improves stick-shift models by 3 mpg, now getting 23 mpg.

The 2011 135i, which goes on sale by the end of May 2011, will be available for the same base price of the 2010 model: $37,800 for the coupe and $42,100 for the convertible.

The BMW 335d Sedan has been named to the Kelley Blue Book, kbb.com’s list both years since it went on sale in 2009, affirming BMW’s commitment to sustainability.

According to Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com, in being considered for the green Top 10, each vehicle was required to offer fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions superior to the bulk of vehicles in its class, and at the same time provide all the safety, creature comforts and driving enjoyment that would make it pleasant to own.

In describing the BMW 335d, the kbb.com editors said, “To most passersby the 335d looks like any other BMW 3 Series. To the driver, however, the 335d is something truly special. To the styling, luxury, and refinement of the standard 3 Series, the 335d adds a six-cylinder diesel engine. Immediate power, robust acceleration and 36 miles per gallon highway fuel economy make us wish more cars featured a diesel option.”

Come into our NJ BMW dealership, Circle BMW and see the award winning BMW 335d Sedan today!
