The
thrilling exhaust note of a specially crafted
BMW engine has been one of the preferred sounds
of driving enthusiasts for over 50 years of
motoring history. The German automaker has become
known for encapsulating the raw, emotional aspects
of driving at the very limits of the possible,
flirting with the edge that gives these high
performance vehicles their unique personality
and special place in exotic car rental.
BMW is a company which began by creating
stripped down, focused sport sedans and coupes
which were designed to provide the driver
with as direct a connection to the road as
possible. Over time, as the automaker began
to perfect and hone the performance of their
vehicles they also introduced a layer of refinement
which brought BMW closer and closer to the
world of luxury. The BMW formula soon became
a balance between driver comfort and driver
engagement, combined with exterior styling
which made BMW’s as engaging to look
at as they were to drive.
The modern BMW lineup is full of the diversity
that BMW has embraced over the course of the
past few years. Not only does the company
produce well-tuned performance weapons such
as the M3 and M5 sport sedans, but they have
also branched out into full-size luxury coupes
such as the 650i, as well as sport-utility
vehicles like the X5 – which is at home
on the trail as it is on the highway. Horsepower
numbers are up across the board, with the
German manufacturer displaying some of the
most impressive engines currently in production.
Current BMW’s also benefit from driver
assisting technologies which would not have
even been thought possible when the company
first began to build vehicles. The letters
BMW still represent the peak of performance
married to luxurious interiors which both
coddle and encourage the driver to get the
most out of their luxury car rental.
