Introducing the 2023 BMW X5

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. more 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.

3 Sushi Places Worth the Drive Near

3 Sushi Places Worth the Drive Near Jacksonville, FL

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. more 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.

Does Your BMW Need a New

Does Your BMW Need a New Catalytic Converter?

If you've felt like your car has been running sluggishly lately or emitting an unusual odor, it might be time for a new catalytic converter. Check for these common signs that your vehicle needs a new catalytic system, then head to your nearest BMW dealer to get the job done. Your car will thank you! Does Your BMW Need a New Catalytic Converter? Visit Your BMW Dealer Today Sulfur Smell From the Exhaust If you notice a disgusting, rotten egg smell coming from your car's exhaust, it is likely a sign that your exhaust system needs to be replaced. The catalyst converter is an important emissions control device that helps to reduce harmful pollutants in exhaust gases. Over time, the catalyst material can break down, causing a build-up of sulfur compounds. When these compounds are heated, they produce the distinctive rotten egg smell often associated with a failing catalytic system. If you notice this problem, it's essential to have your car inspected by a mechanic promptly. more Poor Engine Performance Poor engine performance is one of the most common signs that your catalyst converter needs to be replaced. You can look for a few things to detect poor engine performance, such as a drop in fuel efficiency, increased emissions, and a loss of power. These symptoms are typically caused by a build-up of contaminants in the converter, which prevents it from doing its job correctly. If you detect poor engine performance, take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repairs. Rattling Sounds Under the Vehicle Rattling sounds from under your vehicle can signal that you need to replace your catalyst converter. When the catalytic system becomes damaged or clogged over time, it malfunctions, and the exhaust gases escape. These gases can cause the metal in the converter to expand and contract, leading to rattling noises. Therefore, if you hear rattling from under your vehicle, a mechanic must check it out to see if the converter needs to be replaced. Excessive Heat Under the Vehicle The exhaust system is designed to convert exhaust fumes into less harmful gases. However, if it becomes damaged or clogged, it can cause the engine to run less efficiently and produce more heat. In severe cases, the catalyst converter can become so hot that it begins to glow red or even catch fire. If you notice excessive heat coming from under your vehicle, you should have it inspected by a mechanic immediately. If you're in the market for a new catalytic system for your BMW, be sure to stop by Tom Bush BMW Jacksonville. We have a wide selection of parts and accessories, and our team of experts can help you find the perfect fit for your vehicle. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or learn more about our services.
