Your BMW brake pads are immensely important safety features and play a crucial role in slowing down and stopping your vehicle. How often your BMW dealer will have to replace the pads on your X3, 330e, or 230i, depend on various factors, including how and where you drive your vehicle. The following will help you determine when to replace the pads to keep you safe behind the wheel. How Often Should You Replace Your BMW's Brake Pads at your BMW Dealer? Pad Life A new set of pads can last between 30,000 and 60,000 miles, but how long pads last will also depend on other factors, such as the quality of the pads, your driving habits, and the roads you use. If you drive in heavy traffic, brake often, especially hard and excessive braking, and don't regularly service your braking system, you will have to replace the pads more often. Pad Thickness New pads usually have a thickness of eight to twelve millimeters and wear down and become thinner as you drive and use your brakes. For the pads to do their job correctly, they must be at least thicker than three millimeters. Anything thinner is dangerous and could cause your brakes to fail. To ensure your safety, the general rule of thumb is to replace pads when the pad thickness is in the four-millimeter range. Brake Inspections and Pad Replacement Intervals Follow your BMW service schedule and maintenance intervals, and your braking system will always be in good working order. During each brake system inspection, recommended every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or six months when you take your BMW for an oil change, your BMW technician will perform a thorough brake system inspection and ensure your brakes work perfectly. If the pads look worn and the linings are too thin, the technician will replace the pads with top-quality genuine BMW pads. Check your BMW owner's manual for the recommended brake system inspection intervals and pad replacements for your specific model, or ask your BMW technician for information. Quality Genuine BMW Pads When it comes to your safety and the safety of your passengers, you can rely on top-quality genuine BMW pads. Genuine BMW front and rear pads, the same pads that were on your car when you bought it, are engineered and manufactured for your vehicle to BMW's high standards and tested for reliability and safety. You can conveniently shop for genuine BMW pads on your dealer's website. When you take your vehicle to your dealer for regular brake system inspections at the recommended maintenance intervals, you can always count on your BMW to give you the stopping power you need. Swing by Tom Bush BMW Jacksonville today for a pad replacement and a thorough brake system inspection and ensure your vehicle is safe on the road.

The market of luxury mid-sized SUVs is one of the most popular categories of all vehicle sales. More and more people are favoring SUVs for their versatility and combination of desirable traits from both sedans and trucks. As more manufacturers catch on to this uptick in interest, the subsequent influx of available SUVs means buyers have tougher choices to make. Thankfully, the 2023 BMW X5 is finally here to offer buyers an option with zero compromises in quality or price. Basics About the BMW X5 Mechanics and Performance This mid-sized sports activity vehicle gets its legs from an eight-cylinder 4.4-liter engine with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. You'll never feel like you don't have enough driving power, thanks to the army of 523 horses that allow the X5 to get from 0-60 MPH in less than four seconds. At our dealership, we also have the X5 hybrid model available that offers up to 30 miles on a single charge. One of the many reasons the X5 outclasses other mid-sized SUVs is because of its impressive maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds. This, in addition to the 140 inches of onboard cargo room, makes the X5 the perfect adventuring companion for the entire family and all their luggage. New/Unique X5 Features Comfort and Convenience With a glance at the inside of the X5, you'll notice the neat and stylish layout, complete with comfortable and environmentally friendly vegan Sensafin leather upholstery. The cabin's ambient lighting can be customized for any mood, and the dual-zone auto climate control, sunroof, and heated front seats provide a luxurious experience you're in command of. The onboard tracker system is always active to help you recover your lost/stolen vehicle or to help authorities locate you after an accident. The ConnectedDrive program allows you to streamline your smartphone onto your X5. It also offers access to your BMW account, lets you program notifications, allows you to check your vehicle stats, and provides access to BMW apps for music, podcasts, restaurant review sites, and more. Technology and Safety This year's X5 is fitted with a Park Distance Control system. It employs sensors that watch up to five feet behind or in front of your vehicle to eliminate blind spots. Speaking of blind spots, the Active Blind Spot Detection software that stays active while you're on the road ensures that blind spots are a thing of the past. The Frontal Collision Warning program works as a team with the Collision Mitigation and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems so that you're protected on all sides and all speeds. The Lane Departure Warning will keep you within your lane and prevent drifting, and the Driver Monitoring Alert can sense when you're tired. Lastly, the backup camera can provide parking guidelines to help you with reversing. Visit us here at Tom Bush BMW Jacksonville on your next day off to test out the 2023 X5. With our award-winning services and long-standing contributions to our community, you can rest assured that you'll be taken care of for the entire vehicle-buying process.

There's no doubt that Jacksonville's food scene wouldn't be the same without its sushi. Younger Jaxsons might be surprised to know that just a few decades ago, you might have struggled to find good sushi here in Jacksonville, FL, as today you'd think it was impossible to drive more than a mile or two without seeing a number of sushi places. While there are a lot to choose from, we think these are the top three restaurants to eat sushi. 3 Best Sushi Places Worth the Drive in Jacksonville, FL 1. Sushi Bear Sushi & Grill Head over to the Lakeshore neighborhood to try sushi at one of Jacksonville's most established and best-acclaimed Japanese restaurants, at 4530 St John's Avenue. With a casual feel, affordable prices, and a huge menu of both raw and cooked sushi rolls, you really can't go wrong heading here for lunch or dinner. A few rolls we can recommend are their signature raw House Roll with egg, crab, cucumber, avocado, tamago omelet, and cheese, as well as their cooked Dynamite Roll and Jaguar Rolls, both featuring fresh eel. Prices start at $5.50 for the roll sets. 2. Yummy Sushi If you want a more upscale Japanese dining experience, head across the river to Yummy Sushi at 4372 Southside Boulevard. Their sushi menu is also extensive with raw and cooked options, as well as larger mix-and-match entree sushi sets for those looking for a bigger meal. In addition to fresh ingredients, Yummy Sushi takes much pride in its homemade sauces to spice up each sushi set. You can't go wrong with any of their specialty rolls; all hand-rolled with fresh ingredients, cooked and prepared to perfection. A few of our favorites are the Infinity Roll (crabstick, tempura with avocado, cream cheese, and a spicy sauce), and the Godzilla Roll (crabstick, fried tuna, avocado, and a sweet and sour sauce. 3. Yashi Sushi Right nearby at 4820 West Deer Lake Drive is another of our favorite sushi restaurants in Jacksonville. With a simple, home-style Japanese interior and a menu that proudly showcases their fresh seafood and other delicious sushi roll fillings, we believe this is a sushi place you can find something for everyone. On their chef's special menu, you'll find a number of unique roll combinations, with additions that are often difficult to find on the Jacksonville sushi scene. Our favorites include the Hurricane Roll (fish eggs, mite fish, crab, eel, served in a roll with avocado, cheese, and a spicy mayo sauce) and the Pineapple Express (eel, crab, fish eggs, and tempura shrimp served in a roll with fresh pineapple, scallions, and homemade eel sauce). There's a good reason sushi is becoming more and more popular in the Jacksonville dining scene. If you want to keep up with the Jacksonville crazy, you should probably keep up with Florida's car crazy by making sure you show up driving a car like the BMW i4. Once you've had your fill of sushi, head over to Tom Bush BMW in Regency and pick up a new BMW to shine like never before.
