BMW is really hitting it out of the park this year with its funny ad campaigns, most recently in a commercial for the ConnectedDrive-equipped BMW X3. We've all been there. You plan a family getaway to visit new towns, new places, new people and you pull up to the hotel only to find that it's a grungy, horror film motel or some sort of college kid party hostel or worse -- a kitschy B&B with porcelain dolls and cat portraits. That's where ConnectedDrive comes in to save the day. This infotainment system connects you to all of your beloved services and apps, like Siri and her wealth of knowledge: Siri, can you tell us more about the Stanley Hotel?

There's nothing like posh amenities to really start a conversation with your, shall we say, older passengers.

We can admit it -- there's something unnerving about a lowercase "i." But this little letter actually has your back with a whole host of driver assistance services especially for your unique green-driving BMW model. BMW is liberating this grammatically-incorrect vowel by having it represent its brand new lineup of hybrid and all-electric vehicles, which you know as the BMW i Series. The automaker spotlights the first i-badged vehicle to join the green team, the BMW i3, in its latest commercial advertising it's fuel-efficient conveniences accessible via your smartphone. See how BMW takes a very stylish, low-key approach to advertising its BMW i Assistance Services in the ad below: See how the alternative yet confident "i" has your best interest in mind by taking this unconventional BMW hatchback for a spin, here at BMW of Devon. We have plenty of new models for you to choose from, and they're conveniently located right here on our Devon, PA BMW car lot.

Didn't have a chance to tune into the big game this past Sunday? Well, we won't ruin the ending for you in case you're still living under a rock, but we will ruin the surprise of the official BMW Super Bowl XLIX commercial. It advertises the all-new, all-electric BMW i3, featuring a throwback to the infamous/beloved scene of Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel circa 1994 discussing what "Internet" means. Watch the whole fun ad here: If Katie and Bryant only confused you more about this all-new BMW model, rest assured that our knowledgeable sales staff here at BMW of Devon can clear things up for you. First of all, the i3 is powered by an electric motor juiced by a 22 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. And if you opt for the Range Extender model, BMW tacks on two-cylinder gasoline engine to the powertrain for added, well .... driving range. For more information on the BMW i3 or to take this revolutionary vehicle for a test drive, feel free to stop into our Devon, PA BMW dealership at your convenience.

Would you like to buy a vowel? Back in the mid-'80s, German luxury drivers sure enjoyed doing so thanks to the four-door practicality and low-revving fuel-efficiency of the 1986 BMW 325e -- an "e" which signified "efficiency." Thanks to generosity of the guys over at MotorWeek, we're able to relive the thrilling days of this particular Bavarian treat. The show has been releasing retro reviews for a little while now, and last month viewers saw the likes of the '86 BMW 635CSi as well, a more powerful 6 Series coupe whose engine was the largest in the chassis. Aside from dated jargon like the "oriental" look of the power headrests and the "novel" nature of the trip computer, these retro reviews -- as well as the BMW models being reviewed -- really stand the test of time. Sure, we may have jumped the gun on Throwback Thursday, but aren't you glad we did? Where are they now, you ask? Well, the latest 3 and 6 Series models are right here in Devon, PA, of course. We invite you to meet the new-and-improved 2015 BMW 3 Series and 6 Series vehicles here at BMW of Devon.
