Fields BMW Lakeland

They say that nothing in this life is free, but we know for a fact that's not true.  IKEA sometimes gives out free breakfasts, even if you don't buy any furniture.  Panda Express sometimes passes out those little coupons for a free sample of a new product.  And BMW is gearing up to give away a 3 Series in April.

There are a heck of a lot of apps out there for the iPhone and iPad, but honestly, how many of them really do something useful?  Yes, we love the music provided by Pandora and the hours of mindless fun provided by Angry Birds, but are those really practical in improving the quality of our everyday lives?

The ten finalists were recently announced for the World Car of the Year award, and, perhaps not surprisingly, BMW models made up two of the ten.  While every other model on this list except for Audi (who also had two) has a one-in-ten shot at taking home the accolade, we here at Fields BMW Lakeland are pretty happy with our 20% chance of winning.

In 2012, buying a new car isn't as simple as picking the prettiest one, or the fastest one, or even the most luxurious one.  Those things certainly play a role in deciding which new model to bring on home, but let's face it; in 2012, there are few things consumers care more about than fuel efficiency.
