BMW Tackles Climate Change with ChargePoint

In the United States, transportation is responsible for 27% of all greenhouse gas emissions, and although the introduction of various EVs promise to alter this devastating statistic, the lack of charging stations make EVs unrealistic. Only BMW has been hard at work bettering our current charging infrastructure. With its ChargePoint initiative, BMW has helped to expand the EV charging network to more than 25,000 spots across the country.

A Luxury Performance Coupe by the People, for the People

 

BMW people in remember the excitement at the arrival of the iconic 1 Series M Coupe--and the devastation at its end of production.

In the great decision between choosing a Hendrick BMW service center over just any old body shop in the greater Charlotte, NC for the care and maintenance of your luxury SUV or sports sedan, it's like the choice between Oreo and Hydrox.

Mission: Possible

Tom Cruise knows action, and he knows how to show off on screen by doing crazy stunts in cars and on motorcycles, so it seems only fitting that the 2015 BMW M3 was heavily featured in his new film, Mission: Impossible 5 - Rogue Nation. The M3 is a 425 horsepower, 406 pound-feet of torque, 3.0-liter machine with a top speed of 156 miles per hour, so of course it would be the right fit for an action-packed blockbuster.

Here at Hendrick BMW we don't recommend our Charlotte drivers perform any high speed chases or attempt any crazy stunts…
